TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin I'm afraid our island is changing

What I find odd about this is the reaction of people who seem to think it just could not have happened. It did. I saw a full restaurant before the robbery and a full restaurant after the robbery. We had been traveling since 4 AM and there was no food on the boat. I was hungry and my wife was too. There did not seem much point in leaving after things had calmed down and the police were present. No doubt we were all a bit shocked and it definitely was not expected. I had a nice meal, and it looked like everybody else did too. Including the couple sitting next to us who had to get up from the table to speak to the police because her purse was stolen. They came back to their table, and the staff removed their meal and brought them a fresh meal. I thought that was nice.
