It was a short 88 miles of travel overnight. We awoke to the beautiful port of Phillipsburg, St. Maarten.A bright and sunny morning and we were anxious to go ashore.
At the end of the pier was an area of modern shops,a ferry terminal, taxi and bus stands,phones and steel drum welcoming groups.
As we were shopping 3 other large cruise ships docked. If each ship held 2500 passengers, you can imagine the influx of shoppers in the small market area. Enough crowds for us! We returned to the solitude of our own ship and the pool.
The cafeteria lunches were always spectacular. There was a specialty pasta each day and always their wonderful pizza. Americans could always have their favourite hamburg or hotdog. Make your own salad or a full entree if you should choose. Their pastry and dessert was mouth- watering. This being said, Bob and I seldom had a full lunch.
We set sail again early afternoon and watched this picturesque island slide out of view.
Dance music in the evening with specialty coffee after dinner.
A wonderful cruising day!
