Hi All,


Going to St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Barbados. Not big into shore excursions but would like anyone's opinion on what to make sure to see or do.

Thanks...appreciated.

Never been to St. Kitts; however, my wife and I went to Barbados last year on Celebrity's Constellation, and we did the snorkel and turtle encounter. We really enjoyed that one.
We did the Land and Sea to Soufriere in St. Lucia, this was the one where you go to the Sulphur Springs in the drive in volcano. We didn't care for this one at all, and the meal they served at this excursion was really bad, we heard a lot of people complaining about it. We did enjoy the shopping at St. Lucia. Of all the islands, we were the most impressed with Barbados!!!

We took the Brimstone Fortress ship tour on St. Kitts which also included a stop at the petroglyphs and a general island tour. It was a great way to see the island. Our stop was on a Sunday so everything in town was closed. At St. Lucia, we too did the Land & Sea ship tour and were fortuante to have the land portion first including the Sulpher Springs, Diamond Falls and gardens then lunch which was wonderful including Liquor. We got to swim in a bay and had a marvelous day. At Barbados, we have done both a ship tour and private taxi tour which is easily arranged outside the port terminal building. I highly recommend going to Harrison's Caves and an Orchid plantation plus general drive by of the island.
Bon Voyage

The previous posts gave good advice. I too, have taken these tours and enjoyed them. We have a sort of port rule we follow. If we've never been there before, we try to take the tour that will give us a sense of what the place is like. And we know that we will be in for the usual share of sights that are not really worth seeing (but you never know that till you go). So we keep an open mind and go along. On a return trip to a port (we are cruise addicts, after all), we will opt for a snorkel tour or get a cab to a local beach. We've never had a problem with a cab returning to take us back to the ship.
