Creator's Key Takeaways

We're on a seven night cruise aboard Star of the Seas. And today we're in St. Martin in the Dutch West Indies.

This excursion was about $50 per person, so $100 total. Uh and it gives us two beaches and basically transportation to and from those beaches back to the cruiseport.

Orian Beach was my favorite. A lot quieter. Uh, a lot more of a chill vibe and not a lot of people over there.

Maho Beach has been on a list of things that we wanted to try in St. Martin, especially when we knew when we were coming back here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book excursions through Shore Excursions Group for better value than cruise line offerings.
βœ“When at Orient Beach, tell the Pirates Hideout you're with the tour company to get a free chair.
βœ“At Maho Beach, check the plane schedule at the bar but note times may not be exact.
βœ“Try the lime and coconut drink on Star of the Seasβ€”it's a must-order.

Welcome back to Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas. We're on a 7-night cruise to the Eastern Caribbean and today we're in St. Maarten! In St. Maarten we have an excursion that we booked on the Shore Excursions Group. This is a 2 Beach Day excursion that goes to Orient Beach and the World Famous Maho Beach, also known as the Airport Beach. We start out day at Orient Beach and enjoy some food and drinks at the Pirate's Hideout before relaxing and swimming in a spectacular and pretty beach. We then head to Maho Beach where Jets fly really close overhead and the water is crystal clear. This could be the best excursion we've ever done! Back on the ship we try Basecamp in Thrill island and a few drinks on the pool deck before getting ready for our dinner at an elegant dining experience themed to prohibition era Chicago, Lincoln Park Supper Club. We review Lincoln Park Supper Club course by course and drink by drink and let you know what we thought of this amazing venue. After dinner we try more of the bars that Star of the Seas has to offer before ending the night at the nightclub. Come join us on Day 5 of this cruise aboard the World's Largest Cruise Ship and see everything we did and what we liked and didn't like! #StaroftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #Cruise #Cruisevacation #Cruisetravel #Travelcouple #cruiseship #embarkationday #royalcaribbeancruise #Travel #Vacation #cruisetips We took a 7-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas in September of 2025. This cruise went to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Coco Cay. We booked this cruise on Cruise dot com and had an Ocean View Balcony Stateroom on deck 14. We had an incredible time on this cruise and during this trip and we are going to share each part of it on this channel. Look out for future videos over the next several weeks.
