st maarten port times maho beach help

[dpws]

Hi can anyone who's  been to st maarten with p&o tell me what time, they arrived, departed the port, as I'm keen to take a taxi to maho beach when I'm there and wondered how much time I've got to get back as hear the roads can be quite busy, or any other ideas to maho beach, also if youve been whats the state of the beach after 2017 hurricane, many thanks in advance

Normal time off the ship is from 0800hrs, taxi / mini bus from the terminal is currently about $8 each way if there is 4 to 6 persons on board.  Journey time going at around 0800 to 0830hrs is 45 mins.  Returning I would allow up to 90 mins. travel time due to the fact it is always heavier traffic in the afternoons and if you catch a bridge swing it could be a good 20 mins. delay.  We were there in November 2018 and there is not very much of a beach left at Maho, but still brollies and loungers.  If its planes your after jet stuff usually starts around 1230hrs.  Have a great time, we are back there 25th Feb. on Britannia.
