We didn't do an excursion, but saved so much money by going by taxi to Sapphire Beach and renting snorkeling gear there.  GREAT snorkeling, less populated, beautiful beach to relax at, great pictures, snacks, rest rooms, and not so busy.

St. Thomas

Loved Dawn Beach and all of the snorkeling here.  Once again saved a lot of money by taking a cab to the beach and renting snorkeling gear.  Another really nice less populated secluded beach with excellent snorkeling, relaxation, snacks, and restrooms.

St. Maarten

Absolutely amazing once you get in the water with the dolphins, but a ton of sit and wait.  Misleading in the respect that you think yo are with them the entire time.  However, I think it is really worth it because we were still with them a little over an hour and half.

Great room with lots of closet space.  Shower was a lot tinier than normal, but ok.

Pros:  Really nice spacious balcony room mid-ship, food was good at the formal meal at night, excellent port locations, very kind and helpful staff, played putt-putt and overgrown chess.Putt-Putt was fun, but one VERY tiny course with lots of people and only 2 chess boards on the entire ship so very limiting but we were patient and enjoyed it once we started.
