Take the island taxi to the beach- half the ship's price and you go back when you want to-not ship mandated length of stay.

Basseterre, St. Kitts Did not visit port

Snorkeled down past the "Strip". Reef was great, took little speedboats to get to the reef-again-not a ship excursion-through Cruises Only website. Just the four of us-did as we pleased. Ate lunch at one of the restaurants on the strip-just remember-"island time" on the service, but the wait was well worth it.

Another Cruises Only booked trip- snorkeling, botanical gardens, city overlook, and travel to two waterfalls-swimming up the gorge was great to get to the hidden waterfall, and then the double falls was very good- would recommend this excursion to everyone.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5

Another Cruises Only excursion- kayak/snorkel trip. Saw different fish/formations on the reef, all snorkeling trips were different, which made it worthwhile-not the same old sights at every port.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Cruises only excursion-snorkel and catamaran ride to beach. Snorkel trip was only fair here-all underwater staged, but after the natural reefs at the others would be a comedown. Sailed up to Mullet Bay, was able to stop at Maho Bay and watch the planes come in /take off-quite a treat for some of our family who had only seen photos from our past stays on the island.
