CruiserBruce Posted March 3, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Also look at what RCI is offering. Take what interests you, not what we recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted March 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2015 What sort of things do you like to do? Actually, you should check out a guidebook...libraries have them...it will tell you EVERYTHING about your ports, activities, points of interest, beaches, shopping, restaurants etc....! Then, you can decide HOW to do what you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coal grove Posted March 4, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the Info. I usually take tours through RCI. Once I took a private tour in Puerto Rico another in Alaska. I was wondering if anyone took any private tours in Southern Caribbean? It's nice to have recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVINCRUIZIN Posted March 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We did this itinerary. Antigua has great ziplining. And Grenada has fun river tubing. And Barados pirate ship was a lot of fun (snorkeling with sea turtles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted March 5, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I was wondering if anyone took any private tours in Southern Caribbean? It's nice to have recommendations. Yes, many people DIY, and that's what the link is for. The Ports of Call boards are a wealth of information; you can post your questions on each individual board, or just scan them for advice. You'll see many threads already posted about what people do in each of the ports. :) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=587 <---Caribbean Ports of Call board, previously posted above by LHT28 Have fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted March 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 5, 2015 St Lucia: Cosol Tours is the best. Check out their reviews on Trip Advisor. Antigua: Lawrence of Antigua is an excellent tour guide. Barbados: I do NOT recommend the ship's tour to the caves. It was a terrible value for the money, and just a so-so excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted March 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Love Aruba - have stayed there for week-long vacations as well as a port of call. Would recommend any full island tour - the island is so different from other Caribbean islands because of the desert rather than lush greenery. Anything that takes in the lighthouse, little chapel, and "far side" of the island is very interesting; donkey reservation, mines, etc. You can also do this as a jeep tour where you drive and go in a convoy with other jeeps - again very interesting, but dirty and bumpy! You get to see more as the jeeps can get where buses cannot, but it is very sandy and you need to be comfortable riding in an open jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving My Life Posted March 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2015 In Barbados we did an all day catamaran tour with Calabaza - snorkeling with sea turtles. The tour included a light breakfast, a delicious homemade lunch served on the catamaran, unlimited alcohol, and only 12 people on the boat + 2 captains/guides. We had picture perfect weather and greatly enjoyed our day. If you head over to the Ports of Call board, you will see lots of reviews for this tour.

cruiseapril Posted March 6, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 6, 2015 For Aruba: A morning tour of the island and an afternoon at Palm Beach. For Barbados: A day at Carlisle Beach- if a beach day is desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
