Kim, we were in St. Lucia for the lst time last month and we did Spencer Ambrose land, sea, beach excursion. You can look it up in the port of call forums. It was a bit pricey at $105.00 but worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. We were on a Journeys cruise and went to a lot of beautiful islands, but this was definitely the highlight of our cruise!

Thanks Karen! We will look into that excursion in St Lucia

Hi Kim! Small world isn't it? Thanks so much for your kind words.

 

You have your beaches and ports a little mixed up, but I'll help you get straightened out. :) In St. Thomas our favorites are Sapphire and Coki. Magen's Bay is nice but you will have to pay a fee to go there. Consider taking a ferry over to St. John's and visiting Trunk Bay. For your drinking and partying pleasure there is a Senor Frog's right next to the pier.

 

In St. Maarten, Orient is the place to go. There are many different sections, with Bikini Beach being our favorite. Maho Beach is where the jets fly over VERY low coming into the airport.

 

I am not impressed with the beaches in St. Kitts, and I have never been to St. Lucia. It has also been many, many years since I've been to Barbados.

 

Welcome to Cruise Critic! There is plenty of good info on this site to help you with your planning. Hope this helped a little.

Thank you so much for your help. :) I realized after the message posted that I had the beaches wrong. We may just do some shopping in St Kitts and return to the ship early. It is such a port heavy cruise that we don't have much ship time.

Hi Jamman54

I am a fellow Somerset resident. Your boys were actually at MacAfee when my kids were. I was so sorry to hear of Kevin's accident. I am so sorry for your loss!

My husband and I will be taking the Fascination out of PR on June 4, 2016. We are looking for low key things to do in each port. I have read most of your reviews and think I have some ideas for St. Thomas (Orient Beach) and St. Maarten (Coki Beach or do you think Magen Beach is better) We still need ideas for St. Kitts, St Lucia and Barbados. We love to sit on the beach. I love snorkeling but hubby does not and hates to sit on an anchored boat while I snorkel from it. We have taken a boat to an island for a day in Belize and liked that. We would love a Margaritaville like place. We might like shopping day with early back to boat for one day. I would love a chance to swim with dolphins and to parasail.

In short I guess I am asking for you to help us plan our cruise. I thank you for any help you can give and apologize for hijacking this post. I am new to this and did not know any other way to do this. I am sure there is a better way.

Thanks again

Kim Thorne from MacAfee
