The beaches, bars and shopping streets of the Caribbean resort of Philipsburg, on the island of St Maarten, were flooded with tourists earlier this week, when three of the newest and biggest cruise ships in the world were all in port at the same time.
Oasis of the Seas and Carnival Dream diverted to the port to avoid Hurricane Igor; they joined Norwegian Epic, which was on a scheduled visit on Tuesday.
Between them, the three ships delivered about 13,000 passengers and 5,000 crew for the day.
