St Maarten
Thanks to the recommendations of many in this forum, we've planned our
days in St Thomas and Puerto Rico on our upcoming cruise in February. We've narrowed down our plans in St MAarten but have a couple questions. How close is Orient Bay and Simpson Bay by cab from the dock? I've seen a clip of Simpson Bay with the low flying jets and it looks like it could be a fun spot to spend an afternoon. What's the beach like there? What amenities are present at both beaches - lockers, showers, snorkel equipment and so on? tks Mike

You will see the beaches, photos and other information. http://www.cruise-reviews.com/port_i...-caribbean.asp Enjoy your cruise. Becca

Another fun place... almost like the cruise line private islands... though much smaller and much less crowded. I took the Viking gang there 2 years ago... and they loved it. --Tom

I'm curious though - Great Bay beach doesn't come up when I click on it. Has anyone been there? What's it like? It looks very close to the ships. tks
