Pulled into St Maarten this morning, and things were definitely looking a bit iffy on whether we’d actually get docked or not. Pretty decent swells in the docking area, and they were having issues getting the lines tightened properly (although even when they were satisfied, they weren’t tight by any stretch of the imagination, the lines would sag and tighten as the ship moved). The end of the gangplank was moving probably 2 to 3 feet, so not exactly great.
After two ports in a row with swimming excursions, I was quite frankly beat, and didn’t really have any desire to do anything. Cathy ended up taking a ship’s tour of the island with some beach time. Me, I found a chair on deck 5 and watched people getting off the ships, read a little, and half napped. When Cathy got back from her excursion, we walked into town for a little while to do a little shopping.
Oh, and Oasis of the Seas was in port with us. So we got a chance to take a look at it a little while in port. Someone at the port must have had a real sense of humour too, because they docked the Seaborne Spirit right next to the Oasis. Really made the Spirit look tiny.
