HELP! Southern Caribean cruise with seniors

[Maorah]

We will be going to Tortola, Barbados, St. Lucia, San Juan, Samana, Saint Martin, Grenada, are there any beaches where you can rent chairs, are these ports usually accessable directly by a port or only tenders. Are any of these ports too treterous??

 

We love beaches, local sites and great shopping.

 

Any sugestions

 

Thanx

you might want to repost here, sort of a miscellaneous Caribbean port category:

or at a link for a specific port. unfortunately for you, each port has its own category.

We have been to all these ports; all have beaches where you can rent chairs, umbrellas etc. for the day and normally have small beachfront restaurants for drinks, snacks etc. You don't need to do a ship excursion at any of these islands to get to the beach - just take a taxi. There are always taxi's to take you back as well. You might want to invest in one of the cruise travel books that covers all of this on all of the ports of call. Have fun.

I agree with CateW. In addition to that, the last time we cruised into Barbados, St. Lucia, San Juan, St. Martin, and Grenada, we were docked at all locations (though we were not on a HUGE ship, so it depends on the ship I think). I don't know about Tortola or Semana. You are going on a wonderful itinerary. enjoy!
