Anyone been on the Carnival Liberty with a baby?

[ps376]

DH, myself and our 6 month old baby are planning on taking a cruise this Dec. Thinking about the southern/eastern caribbean itinereary on the carnival liberty. Has anyone taken an 8 month old baby on this itinerary? I've read a lot of posts on the ship itself, but not many on the port excursions. What kind of excursions are doable with a baby? The ship seems to stop at the following ports:

 

San Jan, PR

St. Thomas, USVI

Bridgetown, Barbados

St Lucia

St Kitts

St Maarten

 

We're into general sightseeing, and anything nature (Love taking hikes with baby in a carrier). Can we rent a car and drive ourselves in any of these places? Or, is it better to take a taxi, or organized tour? I'm not a big fan of a big bus tour where we're rushed and cannot accommodate to baby's schedule. We would much rather have our own vehicle, so we can take our time.

We've done city tours and walked around. What kind of schedule do you need to stick to?

We ended up walking laps around the deck in the stroller to get him to nap.

The 8 month old won't care WHERE they go, or what they do...so it's totally up to you!

In St. Thomas, there are open air shuttles that will take you downtown for shopping or to Meagan's Bay, which has very calm water and lots of shade. You could head back to the shop whenever you wanted by catching another shuttle.
