Planning to Cruise with Carnival on the Fastination in December. In St. Maarten - do they dock at Whatley Pier of Tender you to the town pier? Do they Tender you ashore anywhere? In Martinique - do they Dock in town or about 1/2 mile away at the port authority? Does anyone know anything about Car Rentals at or near the pier in St. Maarten or Dominica?

As of now, ships still tender to St Maarten - to Philipsburg on the Dutch side. That is the only tender port on the itenary. <BR>

Hi Ken; we rented from the car rental at Little Bay Marina. The Fascination docks at the Port Authority in <BR>Martinique. Would never rent a car in Dominica unless you have nerves of steel! Karen
