Loved the town of Phillipsburg Yes - TUI tour - St. Maarten Island Tour - not good value, 2 photo stops and then dropped on in somewhere beginning with M for an hour, nothing to do except market stalls. Waste of money and time

Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda, B.V.I.

Pointe-A-Pitre, Guadeloupe

3 out of 5
Port - ok Took the TUI Panoramic Tour of the Butterfly - Botanical gardens very good, guide was not very good, did not tell us much about the island too interested in talking about life in general, Also stopped for an inappropriate photo stop of a cemetary. Also she was 20 minutes late back to the coach at the Botanical Gardens, all passengers were sat on board waiting! Thought the 1 hour stop at the beach was a bit of a waste of time, not enough to settle or even have a snack.

Kingstown, St. Vincent

3 out of 5

Disembarkation
