St Lucia—took the recommended St Lucia Jungle Tour—not thru the cruise ship-- $70 per person with lunch at a resort included—as well as drinks during the trip—I would recommend doing this although we were in port from 11:30- 6 so had to be back by 5:30—we didn't leave till 12:30 due to waiting for one couple—it was supposed to be over 6 hours ended up being around 5 - the late couple -one was crew so he didn't get off till 12:00 which is the reason they were late and then we find out at 4 during lunch that he HAD to be back by 5:30 no matter what so lunch was rushed ride back (1 hour) was stressful—and they were on the side of blaming the tour guide—yet they were an hour late—it didn't ruin the trip but put a damper on the end of it---
All in all—St lucia was beautiful—the tour was on ly 6 of us so I highly recommend—you were in open air jeeps def fun and you get to see most of the island---

Barbados—went to an underwater park that names escapes me right now—not much beach at all but was rated as great snorkeling—it was okay—

Martinique—ended up not getting off the ship—I know boo hoo on us—it was 4th port day in a row - we were getting tired and the weather was iffy—it rained in 4 of 5 ports but only for 5 minutes at a time—expect Martinique was the worst so we were glad we were on ship at time--- it was nice to have a semi empty ship although most came back by lunch because it was a French holiday so most things were closed

St Martin—we went over to Pinel Island of course for snorkeling ($25 cab ride, $5 water taxi, $60 total for both roundtrip) def worth it—Pinel Island is across from orient bay and many locals go there for holiday—which is was the day we were there—so many local families—def did not cater to the English speaking crowd!!!Next morning Cab to port- great guy- getting on ship was a breeze- but once onboard there was problems with Sign and Sail cards—noone's keys were working—but we were one of first on so wasn't too long of an ordeal for us—but of course feathers got ruffled—

Went right on deck to explore—went on spa tour—highly recommend—I won a free treatment—ended up spending 3 days in spa ( LT oxygen facial, manicure and pedicure and ionithermie (won this treatment) will answer any questions about spa—mixed reviews—

Cabin E86—great location right outside atrium- room stewardess was amazing- put beds together right away- great personality—towel animals were great---we booked 6a got upgraded to 6D - all for $1000 per person—from what we heard this was a great price—of course had to compare with others on board!!!
