Sorry, we did not save any of the Fun Times nor take any photos of them.  Schedule is pretty full all day, depending on what you like to do.  We are primarily sit by a pool and relax folks so we don't do many of the activities.

There is another review on here that had the same itinerary, and he posted the FunTimes.  I am going to try to post the link — apologies if it doesn’t work.

St. Kitts & Nevis – As opposed to St. Maarten, this stop has well maintained roads, easy transport and a much more modern feel to it.  There were three ships in port, us and the Allure at the main terminal and the Fascination at a sub terminal on the other side of the bay.  We got a taxi to ourselves to the Marriot Resort $15 total and we had pre-ordered a day pass.  Great place, wonderful staff that made us feel like we were guests of the hotel rather than cruise ship day pass holders.  We got access to the beach where they have large permanent shelters with lots of shade, multiple chairs and a table along with the use of the pools.  The beach is covered in Seagrass, but they were actively raking it up and hauling it away, they must have to do this every day because by the time we left it was already accumulating on the beach again.  It is a little disconcerting to be in the water and have stuff brush against you (legs, stomach, chest, head) but you can’t avoid it and get use to it after a while.  We went to the pool area for a while and they are great with lots going on, all the chairs have shades that you can maneuver to get more or less sun.  There is also a swim up bar that was nice to sit at and have a Carib.  When it was time to go, there were taxis right out in front, and we asked our driver to take us to Timothy Hill to take in the views.  Very crowded but worth the views in my opinion.  The one thing that we didn’t like all over St. Kitts were the people that walk around with Monkeys trying to get you to take a picture for $5, very exploitive of the little fellas.  We got back to the port and walked around the shopping area, had a beverage and then made our way back on board. 

How did you book the Marriot Resort Pass in St. Kitts?  I Googled and found it listed under Resort for a day @ $59 each adult- not sure if that's what you used and at almost $60 per person I'm wondering if it's worth it-doesn't include anything other than use of the pools and beach- 10% off food purchases.
