Philipsburg, St. Maarten

It is a long way from the dock to the beachside shops, restaurants. A free shuttle to the downtown area and a map of the shopping district would be helpful. We did not even see most of the shopping areas because we did not know where they were. We went on an ATV tour that was excellent.

Roseau, Dominica

4 out of 5

This island’s port area was not yet developed for tourism. We did not feel comfortable exploring the shops because of the number of local men hanging out with nothing to do. We did Pepper’s Choice tour which was excellent.

Long distance from dock to shops, restaurants. As a result, we did not shop except for the small, Duty Free section. A free shuttle and downtown map would have gotten us to visit downtown. We did a catamaran snorkeling trip which was excellent.

Castries, St. Lucia

We went from Castries to Souffriere on a tour. The tour was excellent but the beaches were underwhelming.

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5

We rented a car and drove around the island ourselves since we just had a short time in port and did not see any pre-planned tours of interest. Id we visit again we’ll go to the Turner’s Beach area and spend the day. Roads were heinous.
