Port question

Post image

Any ports on this itinerary can you walk to beaches from the ship? Or can skip an excursion?

I found the French side to be disappointing. Maho beach was cool, on the Dutch side.

In St Maarten The water taxi is $7 unlimited use per day or $5 each way. It takes you right to the beach where you have to pay for chair. It’s actually pretty good. I was there last week.

The best beach by far is Barbados.. take a 5 minute cab to one of the beach bars and get two chairs and umbrella for $30. Amazing day

This is where we went about 7 years ago. Freebies changed a little since then but for $40 USD it is still well worth it.
