Been a few yrs ago but LOVED the cruise. Did shore excurisions but if we go again, we'd hire a cab & poke around on our own or spend time on beach. Went horsebk. riding... horses were old & should not be ridden with bad legs, etc, in my opinion.

We did this cruise on this ship last June and absolutely loved it.
In St. Thomas, we took a cab to the Red Hook ferry. We took the ferry to St. John and then took another cab to Trunks bay to snorkel,swim, and enjoy the beach. It was heavenly - in fact, we were tempted to abandon our ship and just become beach bums.
The cab drivers were pretty aggressive just off the pier at St. Maarten. Practice a firm "No thank you." while you keep walking.
Bahamas - my son has been there a couple of times and he loves the Goombay Punch which is a pineapple soda that comes in cans. They swear that it is WAY better than Fanta. I didn't buy anything at the Straw Market but had a wonderful time listening to the accent.
