St. Maarten/St. Martin
Karen Bevan
We
decided to do a tour that Carnival offered, don't do it. It was the
bushwacker jeep tour, which sounded great it went something like this: A
tour of the island in a jeep with 4 people and a lead vehicle, 2 hours of
shopping at a fabulous flea market, Sightseeing, and snorkeling/swimming
at a beach for 2 hours. Well it was nothing like that, we drove through
the ghettos of St. Martin for 2 hours stuck in traffic with our guide
getting us lost, we arrived at this flea market with only a half hour to
shop due to the lateness of the tour guide. Our sightseeing consisted of
sitting in traffic and going in circles, we finally arrived at the beach
which was beautiful however there was no snorkeling and we only had 45
minutes to be there, my recommendation is do not do this tour it ruined
our whole day and we saw nothing on St Martin. When we returned to the
ship we did complain and got half of the money we paid back. By the way,
the tours are not cheap. This one was $90.00 per person and not worth it.
