Just walked around Old San Juan, as we are familiar with the city, and did some shopping.

San Juan

Water taxi all day passes, I believe, were $6 per person (cruise terminal to downtown area).  We went to Dawn Beach (about $7 taxi per person, one way)-â€“ the beach and facilities were great, although the waves were quite rough and too dangerous to snorkel.  However, leave a lot of extra time to get back to the cruise, as we found it a bit difficult to get a taxi on the return trip with 5-6 other ships in port that day, even with the hotel at Dawn Beach calling all around for us.

St. Maarten

We got lazy, and just went to 'Public Beach'. It's a few minute walk to the left from the cruise terminal. The beach was decent, but enjoyable considering its proximity.

St. Croix

St John's, Antigua -â€“ Walked around the city for a while.  We were planning on going to Valley Church Beach in the afternoon, but it suddenly got really busy with school getting out on the island, and we were worried that we wouldn't even be able to stay for an hour with all of the traffic, so we decided not to go.  If you're headed to the beach, I would recommend leaving earlier!

Antigua

A frequent destination for us, we decided to head to Magens Bay.  We took the standard safari bus/taxi, and the prices were regulated (I don't remember -â€“ maybe $15 for 2).  They didn't charge their usual admission at Magens Bay, which I thought was a bit weird.  After hanging out at the beach for a few hours, one of our ship-mates told us that a pipe was gushing brown water into the ocean.  My husband went to go check it out, and it smelled ....a bit rusty?  Although the water was gushing out very quickly, and the brown water was quickly expanding in the ocean, it had not yet come close to where we were swimming.  However, I was pretty annoyed that the beach employees did nothing at all to stop people from swimming in the water.  When we asked them about it, they said they constantly do checks on this pipe, because it bursts at least once a year.  Now that seems pretty ridiculous to me, but regardless, customers should have been warned/advised!  Anyway, we tried to make the best of the situation.  We of course stopped swimming, anti-bacterialized our hands and faces, and left the beach after about an hour or so of lounging on the beach chairs, and we still had a good time at Magens Bay.

St. Thomas

Some people would order just one drink during happy hour, and I wanted to shout 'you can get one more for free!!!!!!I know that the service was probably a one-time thing, and the staff work incredibly hard.
