Entertainment

3 out of 5

Everything was OK.....the three electric violinists on board were truly excellent. However, when teamed with the cast for Celestial Strings there talent was overshadowed by the lack of talent in the rest of the cast. Thus, Celestial Strings was a big disappointment.

Horizon Casino

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Sadly, St. Maarten is still struggling with hurricane impacts......lots of destroyed buildings, terrible traffic. We did the Rhino Riders shore excursion which was fine.
