Hello to my family of St.Maarten N.V where i used to work & live ❤

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Beautiful!

[@David-pm6df]

Hey wait a sec, that was lovely but did not even scratch the surface! What about the French side? Grand Case? Cuisine at Merigot? The old Fort? Mega yachts at The Lagoon? Simpson Bay? Famous low incoming jets at the airport? The ginormous beach on the other side…day trip to Anguilla or St.Barts? and so much more? My favorite Caribbean island. The culinary arts at the Marina in Merigot are the best

[@kathyd7284]

Beautiful video! We just returned from our fourth trip and can’t wait to go back again!

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

One of my favorite islands

[@AugustPDX]

I've been there twice with my family when I was a bit younger and can't wait to make a solo trip or possibly be able to take my family back. I have such a fun memory of doing laps around water pylons super fast on a jetski in the lagoon on the French side. I visit vicariously now through KZbin until next time.. Great video, thanks!

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Thank you . So glad u enjoyed it

[@tenley480010]

Wonderful video. This is my home country.

[@StMaartenIslandBoy]

Glad you had a great time.. 👍

[@felipemarrou276]

Beautiful Island!! Awesome Bill!

[@loyguty2323]

Hermoso

[@mustangbelly1]

We have been all over the world, but nothing will ever beat opening the doors of the Air France A330 when we land in SXM. Honestly probably the best and friendliest place we have ever been to. 11 times and counting. And just for your infomation....Mary's Boon is an awesome place to stay. Out of your door and right on to the beach.

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

I agree. Same when arriving on a cruise ship

[@davidpeterson3535]

Some incredible cinematography. Kudos to you and your cameraman (or woman)!

[@traceybeck659]

Great show! Love this

[@webstermitchell2335]

Thanks Bill, love STM, super easy walk too from the cruise pier to town...my 85 year father made it in a scooter, so easy, lol!😁🌴

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

So glad you enjoyed! What a great memory..😃

[@shelleyharris9349]

[@sharleecrone3635]

Lovely video! I’m heading to St M on Mon, 3/20 and this has been super helpful. Thank you!❤️

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Thank you for watching, enjoy your trip!

[@6gwilliams]

Thanks Bill. I hope you get the chance to go back and explore and share even more of the island in another video. I have been going to SXM since I bought my first timeshare there back in 1990. It is my favorite Caribbean island (both sides) and my home away from home. Cheers and best to you.

​@@CruiseandTravelBPGood morning, I would love to visit Sint Maarten.

[@Elonmuskasseater69]

Wow sooooo beautiful

[@Elonmuskasseater69]

So is this the real French or yall explaining it as an island belonging to the country French?

[@FuturisticFunk]

Great vid bill!

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Ty so much more to come

[@trinireader6289]

Well done Bill you sold me

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Thank you

[@armeniaforever5977]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nachelleford8377]

How LONG is the drive to cover the whole island and where is nicer to stay? Closer to the airport near the famous beach perhaps?

[@bubbapeppers4354]

Not to be critical, this island has much more to offer than just the "touristy" stuff shown here. Get off the beaten path... there's nothing like having a French restaurant, early in the evening with the owner coming out to personally explain the menu and then you dine, peacefully with some of the best food you have ever had, made to order. Then you find a private beach and enjoy solitude like never before... there's a lot of culture here to be enjoyed... it's not all the bright colored tourist traps. Again, slow down... get off the beaten path. That's where this island shines! Bon Voyage...

[@andrijanamarkovic2990]

Thank you, sir and your whole team for making this masterpiece. Beautifully captured. The only downside is that this video doesn't last forever! 🙏

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Ty so much . Please stay tuned for more

[@TheBrowncoat2112]

Skip the water taxi. It’s not even a five minute walk from the pier to Front Street in Phillipsburg.

What happened to cruise control? Loved that name 😢

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Many were getting confused with the name and thought we reviewed cars, New name creates less confusion… Same content and more!

[@catherineftergiotis1067]

Hi Bill We are thinking of visiting the island in October. What's the weather like in late October? Thanks Catherine

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Hi Catherine October is a good month . not as crowded

Bill -- T-shirts just steps from the giants cruise ships? SURELY you have a selling point better than claptrap like that. Gave up at 4:10.
