Had a walk round the town - friendly, nice shops.
 

San Juan

St. Thomas

More man made than St Thomas with American influence.
 

St. Maarten

The unspoiled caribbean - did river tubing, good fun. Unspoilt island, people poor but friendly
 

Dominica

Only bad weather day - took a cab for a two hour tour ï¿½70 dollars. The driver was great informative and did a tour of the west of the island
 

Barbados

Did local beach - taxi only 3 dollars per person. Recommended if you just want to do a beach (cant remember the name but its where Sandals Grand Antigua is)
 

Antigua

I'm sure the Summer is fine, but during the Winter would be questionable in my opinion (you'd be better flying down to Miami after NY)
On the final full day we had what our waitress described as the worst weather she'd ever known (8 years working on the ship on the same routes) Force 9 gale, not great - most stayed in the cabin.I was told the Hampton Inn was good (it's in a great location)
Got a car to 'Port Liberty' - (given some of the reviews wasn't as busy or as ugly as i expected and it was a pretty efficient process getting on the boat) TIP we arranged a car to take us from the hotel - superb, charged £75 dollars, but no comparison to the smelly yellow cab we used from Jeff to Manhattan.
