Creator's Key Takeaways
Because while this port started with all the right intentions, it didn't quite go the way we expected.
The cruise port here is one of the nicest in the Caribbean. One thing I love about St. Martin is how easy it is for cruise passengers.
I don't know what how big of a difference it relaxing on the beach is with me relaxing on the chairs on the ship.
Return to ship for our free restroom. Otherwise, on the island, $1. $1. So, last opportunity.
