Pointe Blanche:-- The captain of the Carnival Glory departed the St. Maarten Cruise facility less than two hours after it anchored. Keith Franka Director of the St. Maarten Port Services said the captain took the decision due to rough seas.
Franka said due to hurricane bill the swells at the Great Bay harbor were very high and the captain felt leaving St. Maarten was in the best interest for ship and its passengers.
