Largest cruise ship in the world in port today. Well over 6,000 passengers. Lookout Maho and Mullet. Going to be standing room only.

Sunset isn't horrible now, but it's 3:30 local time, so lots of people probably already headed back to the ship.

Sunset was a "madhouse"! The ship is an ugly monster.

The beach at Maho was so busy there was standing room only. Not an inch of sand without feet planted on it! I have never seen so many people on that beach in over 25 years.

I am really bummed! We were to be arriving on the Oceania Riveria on 12/6, but they cancelled St Maarten port and replaced it with immediately after boarding ship in Miami. I wa so lookin forward to seeing the island after Irma.

Wow, double bummer! Missing SXM and instead Tortola? Tortola is a terrible cruise ship stop.
