Creator's Key Takeaways

this Cruise terminal area is probably the nicest I've been to so far bar it's newer and as you can see it's huge

Phillipsburg is a bit of a tourist trap I guess that's to be expected since it's so close to a cruise terminal that holds Mega ships but I will say it is the nicest cruise port tourist trap area I've seen so far

the tacos were great but the view was even better

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a hat and sunscreen due to high UV index
Bring your ID card even though only cruise card is required
Use water taxis to avoid walking if desired
Head to the ticket stand near Kay's fine jewelry shop to avoid lines

YouTube Video Description

In today's video, I am going to give you a tour of Philipsburg St. Maarten cruise port and city. This Philpsburg cruise port and city tour can be used as a guide for what to do at the cruise port and things to do in walking distance of the cruise port in St. Maarten. I haven't done to many port tours because usually it's my first time there and it's hard to make a cruise port video and city tour while I'm still discovering the place myself. However, I think I came up with a cruise port tour format that not only gives you useful information but allows me to explore and learn more about the area without having to worry about shooting a video explaining where I am in the moment.
