I'll be cruising the route in March on AOS. After some research, our plan on Aruba is to try and get a day pass for Renaissance Beach, which is a private island, for $50. per person. If sold old, our plan B is to taxi to Palm Beach for the day. (Search the boards for what Arubalisa has to say, she's been many times and has the best reviews).
On Curacao the plan is to head over to Porta Playamari for a day of beach, snorkel, & a quick hike.
We've been to St. Martin twice before and will be heading back to Orient Beach to Pirates. Search the boards for the online coupon which when you buy 2 lunches, they'll rent you 2 chairs and 2 drinks for $12. If topless bathers upset you, avoid any beach on the French side.
On St. Thomas we've been to Sapphire Beach which was beautiful and had vendors available to rent water sports. This time we're looking to head over to Lindbergh beach as it has had alot of good reviews and as according to cruisecal.com, they'll be 6 ships in port on the same day and Meagans Bay & Sapphire Beach will probably be busy.
Happy cruising and if you would drop me a line when you get back I'd be happy to hear how you made out.
