Lots of people who ponder cruising worry about not enough time on the islands. Unless you are a late sleeper, there's plenty of time on each island. Whether you take an excursion or just explore by taxi, the beauty of the islands is that they are not overwhelmed with loads of stuff to do. We used to always take the "island tour" so we could see"everything" there was to see. And I'd advise anyone new to an island to do the same. It's a nice intro and you'll satisfy yourself that you've seen the sights. Now we just go to the beach or take a snorkel tour. There's almost always time left over for checking out the shops or just relaxing with a drink at an open air bar. You'll find that some destinations are made for shopping (St. Thomas, San Juan) while others see tailor made for just enjoying the beauty of the moment (St. Lucia) and still others combine a lot of history in a small area (Martinique). We, too, have found the nightlife on the islands to be pretty quiet (with Mexico as the exception)
