We sailed the Golden Princess in December 04.

Had a good time!

At St Thomas: Kids will love to see Black Beard's castle. We also went out on a catamaran tour to St Johns and snorkled. It was awesome.

St Lucia: We have been there twice for vacations. We stayed there a week each time so hard to decide what you should do in a days time. They port you in the main tourist section. Lots of little shops. If you decide to eat off ship, try Iguana Joes. It is fantastic food. It is a little open air restaurant looking down at the street. We took the jeep tour and would never recommend it to anyone. Too rough and dirty.

While in St Lucia, you might want to see the Natural Bridge and absolutely find a way to get out to the light house. It is on the North side of the island and the view is beautiful. High, crashing waves. Stay away from their caves. Better ones in the States. I think if I had a day, I would just rent a small jeep (readily available at the port) and go self tour the island. It is small and that way you get a pretty good feel for the culture. If none of this appeals to you, go to the beach! They have beautiful sandy beaches and the water is gorgeous.

Loved St. Thomas. We went on a catamaran and went snorkeling. The catamaran took us near St. Johns. It was very beautiful and memorable. Snorkeling was tons of fun! I've never been to St. Kitts but we are going in February. I would love to hear info on this island as well.
