Philipsburg, St. Maarten Port Q&A

Arrivals are posted to itineraries based on Ship's Time. Ship's Time does not always = local time, & the Ship'sTime for your ship can differ from the 1 dock next to it. Best to deal w/ local vendors that can respond to in terms like their tour starts 1hr after the ship arrives @ dock. That mean the company watches the port schedule & wouldn't let you book for a tour that's bad for your particular ship.

Keep in mind. After the ship arrives it has to be cleared by customs before you can go ashore.
