Took a taxi drive around the island. Wanted to see the medical school that caused the US invasion. Medical school is beautiful, contrasting with a lot of apparent poverty elsewhere. ...
We did the spice tour through shore excursions.com. It was another day of sitting in a bus - riding around with a few stops - but basically the spice trees, etc. were pointed out through the bus window as we passed. Grenada is also extremely poor and it was sad to see the conditions that the locals live in. I think we would have enjoyed a beach day more. ...
Caught water taxi $5pp each way. Chairs & umbrella $30. Beach guys will keep you in strong cheap and delicious cocktails all day. Tip them well, they work so hard. ...

We chose this cruise because we like Celebrity Millenium class ships AND we could visit our granddaughter who had moved to Grenada to marry her husband.

Got spices that smell ...

We did a bus tour that took us to a spice garden, that was pretty interesting. Then we went to a rum distillery where we got free samples and ended up buying a couple of bottles of various rums. ...
