fragilek Posted December 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It must be me - last cruise Barcelona - day after the sentences for the independence politicians was announced. Cruise changed port time to only 1/2 day to leave ahead of demos. Cruise 2 years ago ended in Rome the day of a national strike no way to get to the city as all trains off and all taxis fully booked by the time we docked and found out about the strike. Now St Martin, on saying that last trip there took public bus to french capital and wan't very impressed. Does anyone know if any of the beaches on the French side were/ are impacted as planned a Rhino Riders tour to Happy Bay (done this before and was a fab day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted December 16, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted December 16, 2019 We last visited St. Maaten in December 2018. At that time the French side of the island was very slow to recover from the devastating hurricanes of 2017. There was a TV documentary about the problems on the French side. The Dutch side was still showing the effects of the hurricane, but it was clear that they were recovering much more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
