We spent a whole week here in 2007 and we knew that on "ship days" the island is full and also the next door island St. John is more spectacular. We simply booked Avis cars (the office and the cars are located just opposite of the cruise terminal) and drove to the ferry port. The ferry journey takes about 15 minutes and we could enjoy a whole day on St. John. It is one of the most beautiful spots on earth. We had to pay attention to leave the magnificent white sand Cinnamon Bay on time to reach the return ferry in order not to miss the departure of our ship. (We got back an hour before, so we had enough time to spend a few bucks on crazy souvenir items) 


St. Thomas

We went on a tour of the island on our own including a beach stop. The cost was USD 25 each. We negotiated the fare with the taxi drivers on the spot. However the highlight of the Antigua day for 3 of us was the helicopter ride to Montserrat. It was an amazing experience. We called a local company and we got a deal for USD 235/pax 45 minutes guided tour. 


Antigua

This was the most expected and finally the least liked port. It is fine, but too developed compared with St. Thomas or Antigua. ,,,,yep and more expensive... 


Barbados

This was our favorite island. Simply beautiful. Green everywhere and the Pitons are breathtaking. We could get a tour for USD 20, including a full island tour and the beach (whole day). Our driver was really great and he was so proud of his country. 


St. Lucia

Five years ago we spent a few days on the island so we knew exactly where to go. We grabbed a taxi and had a short island tour + spent the rest of our time on our favorite bay (10 USD/each for the whole day) at the Marriott. (all beaches are public and free so everyone can enjoy them ) 


St. Kitts (Port Zante)

) 
We really loved Ruby and we felt that the quality was not compromised at all and it was probably even better than a year ago.We sailed with Ruby a year ago and we loved the ship.
