Basseterre, St. Kitts Port Reviews

Beautiful Island. Shops were great. We went on a beach excursion but they had overbooked and had to go to the next beach down. Didnt get to go to Jack's shack but the beach was very nice and not as crowded.

Did st kitts railroad. It waas not as good as we hoped, the train lurches and there are fumes from the engin, at least in the 1st car. Some of the views were great but some were just of peoples yards along the way.

We enjoyed this port the most. We took a cab to Romney Manor and he waited for us. Then he took us to the beach(5 of us for $80). He took us to Frigate Bay which is not the pristine white sand beach that I was hoping for, but a dirty looking beach with lots of rocks in the water.

Did Stand-up Paddleboarding based on a Carnival excursion. Highly recommended. Beautiful water / scenery and great staff. Legs did hurt for a few days after, though...

nothing there but to take a bus tour. Sir Walters tour was fantastic. Didn't book from on board the ship ($100 ). He introduced himself as a private tour person who runs his own business. We loved his tour. $25 and beer and Rum punch was provided free of charge. The Island would have been a bust without meeting him

Dolphin Discovery $70/pp We decided on the "Dolphin Swim Adventure" (because it was the same as the one offered on the ship, where you get pulled around). there was a 40% promotion going on but I called the US 800 number instead of booking online. When I did they 1st tried to sell me a 2 for 1 deal but only my daughter wanted to swim (not myself) so I asked for the promotional online rate of 40% off. I would have been happy to pay that but then she offered me 50% off if I made the reservation right then (which I was prepared to do when calling). So I picked the time & gave them my credit card and they emailed me the confirmation before we hung it. The representative was nice, helpful and courteous. The next morning I realized that I wanted something later in the day so we would could bum around the island before the Dolphin Swim if we wanted to, so I called the 800 number back. After gaving them the confirmation number I asked to have the time changed. They didn't ask me why or want to charge me extra or anything, just said okay and switched it for me. Another email arrived with the updated time. Quick & Easy. Dolphin Discovery is located at Bird Rock Hotel Beach and I've been told that it will cost about $15 for a taxi. On top of spending less than RCI charges (or even less with the deal) I like this place because I can go with my teenager while she plays with the Dolphins and watch ... at no additional cost (at least that is what I've read both via reviews, at the website and what I was told when I asked the representative that booked it for me.) Yes, there seems to still have some 'deals' going on so check the link above and ask when you call. Hope this helps!!!

Was disappointed that all excursions to the beach were sold out on the ship! We walked the downtown area and were approached by a guy with a tiny monkey . He put it on my daughters head when I took a picture he wanted $20! I said absolutely not as I didn’t ask for the monkey to be put on us! He put the poor monkey on me I told him no and he yanked him off me! Absolute animal cruelty so sad to see and until people stop paying this cruelty will continue .

Worst port. Didn’t felt safe always been followed to get a tour or a picture with a monkey. Totally expensive but I didn’t did a tour cause it was rainy and totally not worth it.

Booked a discover St Kitts tour and beach stop. Very informative learnt they have more monkeys than people but I was only lucky to see 1 at the Batik. Lovely place lots of flora and fauna. The 400 year old tree was a sight at Romney Manor. Grounds was well taken care of and lots of seats to take a rest after touring the grounds. Went to frigate beach very nice $30 for beach chair and umbrella but was worth it. Beautiful calm water and lots of fish in water. The best beach stop because we didn’t have rough waves knocking us around like the other beach stop. Tony took our lunch order and we ate on the beach which was great even thou there is option to go at the beach club. Which we had more time at this stop but we had to leave after on hour so we would make it back to port. Would visit this beach again for sure.

My mother, wife, and myself went to on a beach excursion to CockleShell beach. Would definitely recommend as well. The rest of my family did the Volcano hike, and came back exhausted. They said they thoroughly enjoyed it, and while they are glad they "accomplished the climb", the wouldnt do it a second time as it was extremely strenuous.
