Is there anything worth doing in this port?

Given the foreign money exchange and the language barrier, is there any reason to get off the ship or should we make this THE stay on the ship port?

We did a very nice excursion through Royal in December 2015 that included a beautiful drive to St. Pierre. On the way we stopped at a beautiful church. In St. Pierre we toured the rum distillery and the museum about the volcanic eruption. We also visited the ruins of the theater and jail. I have a review on this board, but since photobucket changed their 3rd party hosting policy you can't see the pictures anymore (unless you click on each picture individually, but I read even this option is going away soon) and I can't edit in new links. Everywhere that we stopped they spoke English and were happy to take US Dollars, though we didn't really wander around outside the port area so I can't speak to that.

I enjoyed a snorkel excursion to the bat cave that also had 2 other snorkel and beach stops along the way.

 

A different cruise I did not enjoy a LONG bus ride to a beach on the southern shore. The total time on the bus was longer than the beach time.
