St. Maarten being avoided by Cunard?

Anyone know why QM2 is visiting St. Maarten once in the bookable future? Of all their Caribbean cruises bookable at the moment, only a 14 day Christmas and New Year's itinerary in December 2007 visit the island. Anyone know why?

My wife and I love SXM and decided if we take a Caribbean voyage (we prefer crossings) it must visit St. Maarten.

I am guessing (Just guessing, mind you) that the new cruise dock might not be a deep water port, meaning they have to tender? It isn't a huge dock. I'm really not sure. it may be just that, since they don't have a regular berth there, they may not find it easy to book there with other ships and lines already taking up the new dock space.

Then again, I may just be full of hooey!

 

Karie,

Who may be full of hooey, regardless!

We took the QM2 out of NYC in March and stopped in St. Marteen.

We had to tendered in.
