Basseterre, St. Kitts

We were here before and took a taxi to the port where all the shops are. We did not park at the usual dock. We docked in the industrial part and so we had to take a taxi to the area where we usually dock. I prefer the other dock so you can come and go more than once to the shops if you want to.

Fort-De-France, Martinique

We did the botanical gardens excursion. We really enjoyed that. It was a little scary walking on the suspension bridge, but you don’t have to do it in order to see all the gardens. I would recommend this excursion.

Bridgetown, Barbados

We did a scenic bus tour. It was good but the roads are winding and narrow. That bothered me a bit. I’m glad I took a motion sickness pill before we went on the excursion. The tour was informative and we had a great tour guide.

Baltimore, Maryland

We only live an hour and a half away and just drove to the terminal. No need to visit the area.

St. John's, Antigua

We did not do an excursion as we were there before. We just walked around the port area.

Castries, St. Lucia

Same thing here. We did a scenic bus tour and the winding narrow roads were a problem. Again I took a motion sickness pill. The tour was informative and we enjoyed it. The tour guide was good too.

Grandeur of the Seas

It’s dated but is a great ship. The staff was friendly. I prefer a promenade over a Centrum because when they do shows in the centrum, there isn’t enough seating. When you’re short like me, it’s hard to see over the people when you’re standing four or five deep. Just enjoy it and have a good time.
