On
Barbados, we did a private tour with Calabaza Sailing and had a wonderful day. The crew was there to serve, and they did, they were great. I would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Barbados. We did this excursion on two different cruises.

We did the airport beach (Maho Beach) on
St. Maarten. We sat at the beach bar watching the planes come in and out of the airport. It was enjoyable but not one of my favorite excursions, glad we did it once since it's one of the things to do on St. Maarten.
Another visit to
St. Maarten we visited Orient Beach for the day. It was a beautiful beach but can get crowded and the locals selling their things got annoying. Also we made sure we stayed to the left side of the beach since the right side of the beach is a nude beach and we had no interest in heading that direction.
On
St. Lucia, we visited a beach that had great views of the Pitons. Can't remember the name of the beach. We took a private boat tour to the beach and stayed for the day. The beach had some great views and had some great snorkeling. The only complaint I probably would of headed but to the ship a couple hours earlier but we were depended on the boat to take us back. Once we got back we had to rush to get onboard since we were cutting it short.
We rented a car on
St. Croix. This was the way to go for us, we enjoyed very much touring the island ourselves. It was a great time.
We stopped on
St. Kitts but decided to stay on the ship and enjoy the pools.
Out of all these islands we loved the excursion on
Barbados the most. It was a very nice relaxing sail as well as swimming with the turtles.
Have fun with whatever you decide, you're have a great time no matter what you do on the islands.
