Hello Rachie B.
Will be visiting the caribbean for the 4th time in march 2012 on the azura sailing from barbados,we have an overnight stay in barbados,you are given the choice.
In barbados we went to the beach,a beach called Carlisle bay about a 30min walk from the ship,it's next to the boat yard beach $5 each for a sunbed and a strong rum drink.
St Kitts we went on an organised trip"the sugar cane train" i wont reccommend it not worth the money,i think we paid about £37 each.
Tortola, we had a day at Cane Garden Bay a lovely horse shoe bay,superb beach,traditional caribbean bars,if you sneeze the bar on the edge of the bay would fall down i'm sure,loved it.we sat there watching birds diving for fish.ridiculously perfect.taxi bus from the port around $12 return each.
St Maarten,one of our favourites,have you heard about the airport over on sunset bay where the planes land just above your head while you are sat on the beach,intresting visit.theres a beach bar there.Philipsberg is good for shopping with superb beaches and good prices in the shops and bars.
Dominca,went on an excursion to a rain forrest it was ok,not a lot i can say really.
Antigua,excursion to nelson's dock yard,shirley heights where the post card photos are taken,one year went to millers by the sea,a beach $12 each in a taxi return.
As you may have noticed we now do the big L, lazy.beach till 1pm ish,walk round,people watch drink back to the ship have some nosh and another cold drink,cant wait.
We have been on the ventura twice and loved every minute of it,hope you enjoy.
Enjoy yourself rachie B
