Antigua vs St. Kitts and Nevis . . . .Recommendations?

[new2cruise721]

We want to take a Southern Caribbean cruise in 2024 and need help deciding between two itineraries.  For the most part, the itineraries are the same, but one key difference is that one cruise goes to St. Kitts and Nevis, and the other goes to St. John's Antigua.  We have never been to either place, so we are looking for recommendations, differences, pros & cons that anyone could offer.  Our family of 5 has 3 kids (18, 17, and 9), so we are looking for the best option to suit to our family situation.  Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated . . . .thank you!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder……

So suggest one views the official website of each Tourist Board, then consults a reputable guide on each island, as to sites that can be visited, either by a private or shared tour.

To assist, here are two operations, but one can select a personal selected contact.

I prefer St. Kitts, which seems more prosperous and nicely developed to me. If you're interested in a beach day, Cockleshell Beach in St. Kitts is nice, and you can stop on the way for a beautiful sight and photos at the point where you can see both the Caribbean Sea on one side of the island and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
