Took a snorkeling excursion to Nevis booked with Princess. Very windy took a long time to get to snorkeling, didn't have much beach time as promised. Princess gave us goodwill credit. Stay on St Kitts, not worth it. ...
NEVIS: We booked a ship's boat and bus tour to Nevis as we had never been there. Walk to the boat was long with the walker especially. Another snorkel tour group cut into our line and it got a little confusing as to which boat we were to go to. Finally found the boat and off we sailed to the island. It took about 30-40 minutes of fast rough seas with a mist in the air but we made it. We got off ...
First time visit to St. Kitts.
Walked around downtown Basseterre in the morning.
Did 4 hour Celebrity Excursion Caribbean Scenic Rail & Sail $158.99pp - Very good tour. Felt like I got a full view of the island - coast and countryside. Catamaran was relaxing. Staff gave nice narration as we cruised along the coast. Train is narrow gauge and quite rollicking - if you have motion sickness ...
Lots of poverty. The train tour is the #1 rated thing to do, but I would recommend a sailing only excursion. The train ride is terrible and most of what you see are the signs of the poverty on the island. ...
All our port visits were on the smaller Lesser Antilles islands at the eastern edge of the Caribbean. St Marrten and St Lucia seemed more well to do even though relying almost entirely on tourism. Barbados is a real working island, being large and in a location better suited for trans shipping of goods to the Caribbean. Most of the tours involved sight seeing and beach time in the ration of about ...
A bit disappointing... A flat island, mainly known for the rich and famous that have their houses here. I did the Carambole Beach Day and felt ripped off for the price of $65 that included a 10 minutes bus drive with a stop at some look out point where somebody tried to force you to take a photo with a monkey (which I did not do), the excursion included a beach chair and a drink; well, the drink ...
St Kitts is such a small place but lovely with the locals. Enjoyed some shopping near the pier and having been there before headed back to sun deck to tan the rest of the day. ...
4x4 Jeep adventure with Greg and his drivers was very interesting and informative. It was a beautiful and interesting drive into the rain forest mountain area of the island, followed by an island drive with beautiful views, and finished with an hour at a lovely beach. Very enjoyable. ...
