Know before you go
Other
- Once the online purchase is complete, passes are delivered by email the same day.

Getting to the resort
Big Bastard's is about a 7-minute drive or a 24-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Taxis queue at the pier for easy pickup. Heavy traffic can double the duration of the return trip, so leaving at least 2 hours before the ship's departure is strongly recommended. The address is 49 Front Street (Boardwalk), Philipsburg, Sint Maarten.
