Eastern cruisers....market places by the beaches?

[lillygator]

Hello all...I am wondering if there are market places if you go on the beach day excursions...?? at least close - or are there any when you disembark?

I am looking for handmade items such as hand painted tiles etc....

Hey there lilly! At St. Maarteen there are tents set up right in front of where the ship docks. That is as far as I got on that island. I am hoping to see more on our cruise. At St. Thomas we tendered in & there is a fantastic farmers market area right next to the main shopping area across the street from where the tender docked. It is about a mile away from where the ship docks if they don't tender.
