There were people every ten feet trying to get us to come in their shops or buy something or braid my hair or massage my shoulders, and they were very pushy. Wouldn’t take no for an answer. We went back to the ship early.

We had never been to St. Martin or Sint Maartin before so we did the 2 1/2 hour Island Tour. The island is very arid and there wasn’t much to see. The driver didn’t try to inform us about the area and seemed only to talk to the people in the seat next to him and directly behind him. BEcause he had no microphone system, even if he was answering questions about the area very few could hear him. Not recommended. I’d definitely pick something different if we visit again.

OK. Hmm. The port area was really nice, as was Phillibsburg when we drove through. I did an excursion to Rendezvous Beach. A total waste of time and money. To start there were 4 big coach loads of us on this excursion. We were told there was a section of beach exclusively for us with chairs and umbrellas (but you had to pay extra to keep the umbrella!). It was first come first served as to whether you got a lounger at the front and then obviously working back, from the sea. When we arrived we were told we had to get punch first before going to get a lounger, but of course this was ignored by most who just ran for the sun beds, only to find all the best ones occupied by Celebrity Cruise guests!!!! By the time I got a lounger, it was in the back row, and all I had was a view of sun umbrellas, couldn’t even see the ocean!!!!!! I could have been anywhere in the world with the view. However, the sea was really cloudy, lots, and I mean lots of seaweed, I came out of the ocean looking like the creature from the black lagoon!!! I thought about turning my bed around to face a nice palm fringed beach, but was faced with a waste and dumping ground of broken chairs etc. Not good, avoid this excursion like the plague. I complained to shore excursions as soon as I got back on the ship and was given a refund. This tour was operated by a third party, I cannot believe that Royal Caribbean would even endorse it, and I told them so. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to St.Maarten. Back on Board I overheard others saying how gorgeous it was, so it was just my experience of this island that was marred on this occasion 🙁
