Don't be nervous! My husband and I took this cruise last year, and it was our first time cruising, ever! Best week of our lives.
St. Thomas - Coki Pointe was absolutely beautiful, had some snorkeling areas, and had clean bathrooms
Barbados - The Boatyard for sure!! $20 per person US gets you into the boatyard (beach bar, but better) chair/umbrella, free cocktail, bathrooms, seaturtle and shipwreck snorkel for about an hour, and some awesome water activities, plus a ride back to the boat for free.
St. Kitts - We did the Fan-ta-Sea excursion. Had an absolute blast! It is your whole day, but it truly worth the money.
St. Lucia - We made some mistakes on this one... so Dont bother with Vigi beach (just lame and not good for snorkeling) or the beach right outside Pigeon Island. If you go inside the park, it may be better, but we were constantly offered drugs, and there was a lot of trash in the water. The next day, someone told us we should have gone snorkeling between the pitons as it was wonderful.
St. Marten- I cant recommend Mullet Bay Beach enough!! It is absolutely gorgeous, calm, and we found our own wild stingray! some decent snorkeling. A 10 minute walk or $3 cab ride will get you from there to Maho Beach, where the planes come in. Super cool! We did go to Great Bay for a little while, but it was just ok. Nothing special.
We had budgeted $100 per day for the 2 of us. We were always on or under budget, including bucket of beer and chairs, and taxis. Sometimes, we were way under.
