It docks. You should be fine meeting a private guide. They are used to cruise passengers and schedules, so they understand how long it should take you to meet them.

fischymom Posted June 17, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks DonnaK! The tour guide asked what time we wanted to be picked up and I was hoping that would give us time to miss the crowd in a rush to get off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileybaby Posted June 17, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We just did this a few weeks ago. Freedom is docked and it is super easy and quick to get off. We scheduled to meet our guide at 8:15. I was a little worried about it but we were off and at the Taxi/bus station at 8:05. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted June 17, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We were at St Marteen many years ago and took a tour of the island. This time, we just want to get off and walk about. Is there any thing at the dock to see - stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any thing at the dock to see - stores? You can walk to town. It's about a mile on a pedestrian walkway (no vehicles) and there are kiosks and shops along the way. Alternatively, you can take the water taxi for $6pp all day pass (recommended). There is a nice little beachfront where you can rent chairs/umbrella inexpensively, and behind that is the Main shopping district of Phillipsburg...all the shops you can ask for!
