Ray 1,382 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 With regards shore excursions the only thing i have booked so far is the Atlantis Submarine trip in Barbados. A lot of the excursions involve water and my wife HATES water!! took me a long time to get her to agree to a cruise and even longer to agree to go on the Submarine, so im not going to push it any more by suggesting scuba diving or seawalks lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
milton 5 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 st Marteen we rented a scooter to get to the French side. you can get a cab to get there. 20 min drive. don't forget to go to beach airport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KathyC 1,055 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 We'll be in three of those ports in November, so unfortunately not much help. But what we've booked for Barbados is the Flavors of Barbados & Island Drive. Little bit of scenery, little bit of local food, little bit of local rum. In Antigua, we're planning a beach day that includes BBQ lunch and drinks. St. Martin will be a walk about day for us, going to visit the Yoda Museum, Belgium chocolate place, take in some local food at one of the boardwalk restaurants.  Why don't you look into some of the excursions that take you around the island? We did one in St. Kitts many years ago that took us to a fort, was really nice. We wanted to hike the volcano but the kids were a bit younger at that point and we weren't sure we'd all make it. I wish we had a cruise going back there so we could try it now. But anyhoo that would be my suggestion. If she enjoys history, each island has at least one excursion that takes you around in a comfy air-conditioned bus. If they stop and give you some food and drink - all the better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twangster 28,476 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Are you active and enjoy activities that involve water sports? Beach person? Looking for some culture or history? Shopping? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How safe is it to drive over there?  I was thinking about renting a car or a scooter. How is the parking at Maho beach? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lala 2 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 As of now I have been able to do some research and I have some of the ports figured out.  St Kitts: Volcano Hike( we are into outdoor activities, so this looks amazing!) St John's Antigua we are doing an excursion with a third party called https://antiguareefriders.com/ Barbados we are planning to rent a scooter or car to go to harrison's cave and also Animal Flower Cave and end up at a beach somewhere.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be warned about this one: A few here have done this excursion and posted about it, and have stated that it's not an excursion for anyone who isn't very physically fit and with lots of endurance. It's apparently a very fast-paced and strenuous hike over steep and at least moderately difficult terrain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We love hiking, even though this one seems like a climb. Â We just came back from an arizona hike, 3 days (50 miles) If we survived that, we can handle anything lol. Â But thanks for the tip JLMoran and Ray 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kim&N8 42 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Was in St Johns, Antigua in 2016 and booked the Canopy Tour, it was GREAT! http://www.royalcaribbean.com/shoreExcursions/product/detail/view.do?ProductCode=AN71&DestinationCode= https://www.facebook.com/AntiguaRainforestZiplineTour/ 10/10 would do this again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want to book this excursion in November.  I think I should spend more time on the StairMaster at the gym. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's an excellent idea!!! No joke you are walking at a high incline a good deal of the time and moving quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne 88 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 If you have any motorcycle experience there is a really good company that rents out the 3 wheel Spyders. We rented one for the day and toured the whole island. We went where we wanted and stopped over by the airport and ate lunch. They supply helmets also. We really enjoyed it and will probably do it again. We rented a Jeep in Georgetown, Grand Cayman for what an excursion for 1 would have cost. We drove around for hours....although they drive on the left side, but the Hubs just stayed with the flow of traffic. We are also on that September sailing on Freedom. I’m trying to find information on a big black Schooner in St Kitts we saw last time we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
