chellecruise12 Posted May 22, 2014 #53 Share Posted May 22, 2014 For me, St Maarten is one of those places I could visit on every cruise. We get off the ship, jump on the water taxi and head to town, one fee lets you ride back and forth all day. You can lie on the beach all day if you like but if you get tired of that, just jump up and the main street is right behind you. Wander around town, hit the Belgian Chocolate Shop, haggle over some cheap booze, if you smoke, buy the cheapest cigs anywhere and enjoy a smoke on your balcony :D, and head back to beach. Lunch time, we jump the water taxi and head back to the ship for a bite. Right afterwards we grab some fresh towels and head back to town on the water taxi. Great way to spend a day. Here's a few shots of our last trip there - all this is within a 5 minute water taxi ride from the ship: Your pictures are beautiful!! We have never taken the water taxi before..Do you remember the cost? Is it easy to locate from the pier? Thanks for any help..We head there March 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted May 23, 2014 #54 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I thought I remember the ship being docked right IN town-Phillipsburg. Do you take a water taxi to a nearby beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted May 23, 2014 #55 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I thought I remember the ship being docked right IN town-Phillipsburg. Do you take a water taxi to a nearby beach? Nope. Pollution issues have kept me out of the town beach for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaDiva21 Posted May 23, 2014 #56 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous pictures--especially the first one for the magnificent cloud formations and the colorful background and sea. Can't wait to get back there again. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted May 23, 2014 #57 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Does the water taxi take you only from the cruise ship terminal to Front St in Phillipsburg or can you go to Great Bay beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellecruise12 Posted May 24, 2014 #58 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Does the water taxi take you only from the cruise ship terminal to Front St in Phillipsburg or can you go to Great Bay beach? Great Bay Beach has had problems with pollution for a long time.. Might want to look into it.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
