Hoarded in like cattle through many areas of checkpoint. No one seemed to be willing to assist us with our bags, and I was the one who had to take it all in stride because my husband had been injured at work. A necessary life boat drill, but done in a Mickey Mouse manner. Each person, with the exception of Peter, our Steward wanted to make sure to get us to upgrade our packages, which already cost WAY too much. Shops on board overpriced, per usual, food plentiful and nourishing, but not "special" in any way. The venues were jammed all together in 3 days, one after another. No time to recoup from the heat, way too short a time on the island. St Maarten was the worst as far as nastiness goes. People knee deep in begging for you to use their taxi, chairs, food, wine, etc etc. And the picture pressure was also annoying. This is not what I envisioned this kind of adventure to look like or feel like. Mass marketing and capitalism with a capital "C". Ridiculous.
