I am doing the Eastern Caribbean 11 day cruise on the Eurodam departing FLL on December 9. It's my first cruise! I'm going with a friend of mine from high school. We're in our late 40s.
I'm scuba certified and would like to dive at 2 or 3 of the ports of call. It seems like most of these places have decent but not absurdly great diving so there's not too much to differentiate them from that respect. So I thought it might make sense to instead see what are the best "topside" activities at each port and then scuba at the places where there's nothing above water that really floats my boat (ha!).
I like adventure activities the most: hiking, canyoning, etc. I also like interesting cultural activities. Shopping is of no interest to me. Beaches are of minimal interest. I'm not a big drinker. I tend to prefer smaller group activities or exploring on my own rather than being on a big bus full of other tourists.
What are folks must-do activities at these ports? We're going to Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, St Lucia, St Kitts, St Thomas, and Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.
Thanks!
