If you have not yet had a chance to visit the gorgeous island of St. Maarten (aka St. Martin) on a cruise, we highly recommend that you include this Caribbean gem in your next booking. What makes this island unique is that it is home to two separate countries, with diverse cultures, languages, currencies, food, and people. The Dutch side of the Island is called St. Maarten, with its capital of Philipsburg, and the French side is known as St. Martin, with its capital of Marigot.
Cruise ships dock on the Dutch side and generally provide their passengers with a full day to see what the island has to offer. We recommend taking a private taxi, to enable traversing the 37-square-mile island at leisure–stopping where, when and with whom you choose. Private taxis can be easily booked right at the cruise ship port taxi stand. Please note that full-day private taxi service can cost between $200 and $300 a day, and these drivers do not accept credit cards, so visitors should have plenty of U.S. dollars on hand.
One of the very first things you may notice when exploring the Dutch side of the Island, shortly after exiting the port, is the number of casinos and bordellos peppering the roadside. Marijuana is openly available, too. Whether those elements are attractive or repulsive, they reflect the Dutch culture made famous in Amsterdam.
