    At 22:00, the "slightly weird angle" is a flying attitude called "crabbing", performed when there is strong crosswind. A plane can touch down at that angle, while continuing straight down the runway.

      Oh no! No good? We've done a similar island tour through Carnival before, and it was almost the same, minus the iguana stop. We still give the edge to this Bernard's tour as our favorite overall island tour in St. Maarten though!!

    Going on Celebration in October. While I will be renting a scooter and using that on board, I know majority of the Excursions require being able to walk. Was there a LOT of walking, and since I use a cane to walk, how accessible is Maho? That is probably the thing I want to do the most in that Port.
    (I do plan on contacting Bernard’s to see if the have handicap accessible vans/buses too.)

      Ah, true! When we first used Bernard's Tours several years ago, I believe that had an Island Tour 1, Island Tour 2, and Island Tour 3 depending on what stops you wanted in your day. That's what we were alluding to when saying they were down to just the number two option these days, ha ha... oops!! :P

    How do you pay for your food and drinks on the French side
    does the ship change your money for you

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  Год назад +1

      We used a credit card, which did the exchange for us. Both sides of the island do take US dollars, being such a tourist spot though. Otherwise, you'd probably need to secure Euros prior to boarding the ship if you preferred. I don't believe they offer money exchange onboard, but we haven't specifically asked before!!
