1st cruise this past summer on RC - Adventure. Did the same ports. In St. Lucia immediately off the ship there are tours. Nice Air conditioned buses and they do a Coca Plantation, Twin Pitons, Waterfall in rainforest, and the volcano. Definitely take a camera and bathing suit to go into the waterfall. Smell at the volcano is something. Pitons are not done justice by there pictures. Tour will even stop if you want your picture with a boa. One note. at all the overlooks there are vendors. Most places have a marshal, he is usually in the back, he directs each guy selling trinkets to who they are allowed to sell to. Do not be intemidated, they are pushy but under control. Just remember this is how they make there living. Prices will get a bit cheaper away from Castries. They drive is well worth it lots of switchbacks into the mountains, etc. LOVE St. Lucia.
Barbadoes we had a friend guide us so we say alot, but a definite is the Lighthouse, and the church on the hill, wish I could remember the name. Lighthouse is a site to see. We did do the caverns, neat but not in MY opinion a neccesity. Im an outdoors person anyway.
Hope my spelling isnt to bad.
