Ships tour to Dickinson Bay. Clean, pretty but somewhat crowded.

Antigua

It's always the Boatyard Beach for us. We enjoy it so much we wouldn't even think of going to any other beach. From the outside of the complex you wouldn't know how nice it is.

Barbados

We took the bus to Arusha beach which is close to the California lighthouse. We had the beach to ourselves for several house. It was lovely.

Aruba

We had initially wanted to go to Megan's Bay but there were about 15,000 passengers from different cruise ships in port and the taxi driver advised against it. We went to Sapphire Bay instead and were extremely glad we did. WE got there early and had the place to ourselves for a couple of hours until it started to fill up and we left. We did get about 4 hours in of quality beach time. I think it's every bit as pretty as Megan's Bay.

St. Thomas

We saved some money by walking to the beach at Phillipsburg. We got there early and found good seats up front near the water. After a while it did get crowded and we walked back to the ship. Years ago it was a dangerous walk but they've put in a nice prominade so we enjoyed getting the exercise. All the huge ships were in port that day as several medium ships.

St. Maarten

It was Grand Anse again for us, the fourth time there. It was nice but we definitely are ready for a change. It's a pretty beach but we always get the feeling we are getting ripped off. They quote a price then double it and also quote a price for the sun chairs and charge more for an umbrella. It cost us about $52 for a few hours. We will do some research for next March.

Grenada

We were all worn out the day we docked is Castries (right next to Port Serraphine) and didn't go anywhere. We've seen the island several times and it is one of the prettiest but we decided to rest that day. Next year we hope to go to Pigeon's Island.

St. Lucia

Nice ride to the beach by boat. Very clean and pretty but more like a beach club than the other beaches. We would probably do it again as Curacao isn't famous for their beaches. All the sand is brought in from Aruba.

We were in 2012 which is an outside cabin. It fit our needs so we had no complaints. The cabin attendant did a great job as did everyone else on the ship. We will be booking verandas from now on unless the price is prohibitive. The extra room is certainly nicer.

The two times we ate at large tables the "tablemates" talked politics which we never do and which no one should do.Next year it'll be the Eclipze for 14 days and maybe we will sneak in another one this year.
