Hello!
I am going to the following ports in February/05 on Carnival Valor cruise:

Nassau, bahamas (Mon, 7am-2pm)
St.Thomas, USVI (Weds, 9am-8pm)
St.Maarten, Netherlands-Ant (Thurs, 7am-6pm)

I would like to book excursions thru carnival to avoid any problems with late departures etc. Most sorts of activities are offered at each port, but I would like opinions as to which locality is the best to do each type of thing:

1. Which is best for catamaran/snorkelling stuff?
2. Which has the most interesting ground "tour" exploring the island ?
3. Which has the best beach?
4. Which the best shopping?
5. Any "cannot miss" excursions?

Thanks!

Any specific comments on the carnival excursions or others would be welcomed !

I think for the best beach it's St. Maarten hands down and they have the best shopping as well, better prices than St. Thomas.
I think St. Thomas is a great island for the catamaran. They also have an excellant helicopter tour over the island and St John.
