Markopackers..

 

You can book shore excursions through the cruiseline....and you will be in good hands with your tour....while in port.

 

Many people do not book excursions with the cruiseline and choose to venture on their own...either booking an independent tour...or not booking any tours.

 

These boards will be a great research tool for you.

 

You're going to have a great time!

Are you all in one cabin?? If so an over the door shoe holder should go with you. It has 12 clear pockets and it will help keep your cabin neat and organized. All our bathroom stuff went in here as our other stuff like sunscreen/curling irons/hairdryers and everything else 4 people need for the week.

 

If you are going to St Thomas may I suggest that you check out http://www.godfreytoursvi.com

he has a 6 hour tour- picks you up at the pier and takes you downtown for shopping. Then its off for a 2 hour island tour. and after that he takes you on to a beach for swimming/snorlking and sun. ALl that for 20 bucks.

 

You wont need anything for shore excursions but will need your sign and sail card to get on and off the ship.
