	Barbados Port Rating: There are shops & beaches within a 10minute taxi ride, prices are mostly shown in barbadian dollars which are 2 to one american dollar, beware that change for american dollars will often be given in local currency.

	St. Martin Port Rating: One of my favourite stops as the beach is right by the water taxi stop. you can take a water taxi from the ships berth to the town centre/beach where you will find crystal clear water to swim in glorious sandy beaches & the best selection of shops & bars. If you are going to buy pressies or duty free you won't find things any cheaper on other islands, we got a litre bottle of Baileys for $12 here. the water taxi cost $6 return in 2012.

	Dominica Port Rating: I didn't like this island the ship was berthed near a fish market. it didnt help that it rained when we were here, if i came here again i would either stay on the ship or take a trip.

	Grand Turk Port Rating: loved it the beach is right by the ships berth, rather dilapidated sun beds are free, theres plenty of fish to see if you snorkel & an anchor & cannon. the purpose built cruise centre has lovely swimming pools a livley bar & a selection of duty free shops. you can look forward to very relaxing beach day here.

	St. Lucia Port Rating: beaches easy to access by taxi, it was very windy so the sea was too rough but it would be lovely on a good day.

	St. Vincent Port Rating: horrible.... the walk to the town is thru a very rough looking area the type of place you would never set foot in at home. I don't know why the ships dock here. i wouldnt go on shore here ever again unless it was a trip.there was a small tourist boat to the beach which may have been nice but again it was raining so not a beach day. he wanted $15 for a return visit to the beach

	Tortola Port Rating: We went on a local island tour with a 1 hr beach stop , there is lots of these converted 4 wheel drive vehicles at the port its $20 each but if you walk out of the port the guys parked along the rd will do the trip for Â£15, it was a good trip a bit scary at times on the steep hills, the beach was lovely with loads of pelicans fishing there. at the port itself theres a few market stalls

	Antigua Port Rating: we went by mini bus to the nearest beach which was just stunning it was what you imagine a Caribbean beach to be, it wasn't busy but there was a small bar & toilets, the cruise ship charges Â£22 to take you here, provide a sunbed & a drink it was $3 each way in the minibus $5 for a sunbed & a beer $4 so you do the maths! total relaxation..it feels as tho the world has stopped ...bliss. taxi back was funny with our driver singing to us all the way back.
