What shops are at the cruise facility in St. Martin? Are there many? Was there 8 years ago, and dont really remember seeing any. Thank you.

From the Cruise Facility website:

 

To further facilitate the cruise visitor there is a small shopping arcade consisting of 12 shops and 12 market-stalls, in an architectural atmosphere of vintage St. Maarten landmarks. Harbour Point Village is meant for those visitors who remain on the vessel or who go on an island-tour and return to the vessel. Those remaining on the vessel still have the opportunity to visit Harbour Point Village and purchase souvenirs for family and friends back home. For those who went on an island tour and did not have time to do any last minute shopping once they return to the cruise facility, Harbour Point Village presents such an opportunity.

 

There are a number of jewelry shops, souvenir shops, etc. and liquor and chocolate purchases are available.

 

I have a few photos here.

Many thanks Gary. I know we had our photos snapped under that St. Martin sign, but I have no recollection of a single shop!

There are more shops/stands now than in the not too distant past. If you walk from the ship heading to downtown, you'll pass lots of shopping opportunities.

and when we went to the drug counter, the price fro Visene was 2X what we paid in P'burg. Just take the water shuttle to town and there are better selection and buys there.
