Answer 6

i belive the regualtions now call for a passport also for a cruise, getting one is a bit costly about 150.00 and the waiting period is anywhere from 6-8 weeks so plan ahead, my husbands literally came 2 days before we left, st thomas and st martin are absolutely beautiful, have a great trip. also this goes into effect after jan 31, 2008  good luck have fun

Answer 7

Yes. St Maarten is Dutch and French so a passport is required to go there.

Answer 8

You do as of 1-31-2008

I just got home from that same trip... it was great..
