Optional Sight-seeing Tours:
We booked 4 tours through the cruiseline:
St. John's Beach Tour (at St. Thomas) - Enjoyed snorkeling at the beach.
St. Maarten Island Tour - Tour Guide was good.
Beautiful Barbados & Colonial Plantation Home - Tour was good.
St. Lucia - Land & Sea to Soufriere - Catamaran ride and beach was the best part.  Bus ride - good, but too many switch-backs (motion sick).
 
Wish we would have signed up for more snorkeling trips or SNUBA and the St. Thomas skyride.
 
Touring on their own:
"We shopped mostly at shops by the pier.  When we were on a tour of St. Maarten we stopped to shop in Marigot."
 
 
What is ONE THING in your opinion, that everyone traveling to this destination should do/see?
"MORE SNORKELING! - We heard that tour "Safari & Shipwreck Snorkeling" was good in Barbados."
 
"Catamaran Ride to beach in St. Lucia."
 
Over-all satisfaction with the trip:
"5!!  Very beautiful shorelines and beaches.  Relaxing!  Cruise ship was very nice, service was great and plenty to do on the ship.  Lots of variety in food."
