Morning, a few years back, we were approaching our slip assignment for Saint Martin, closely followed by… traffic.
No, wait! There’s MORE! Five cruse ships in total!
We were on Royal Caribbean’s “Allure of the Seas,” first to dock in Philipsburg, closely followed by a Celebrity, and last, this MSC Italian ship.
From our ships vantage, the town looks like a dream…
A short while later we were walking among the beach bars and restaurants, “Two beach lounges, one umbrella and 4 beers: $24.” 
Considering about 15,000 people were on those five ships, this beautiful beach front was not crowded.
Thanks for visiting, and as usual comments are always welcome.
