Scooter rentals on the islands?

[Deb K.]

My husband has suggested that we rent scooters on one of the islands on our southern Caribbean cruise. Never done this before but am willing to give it a shot. Anything we should be aware of? Potential problems or which island is the best to see by scooter?

Thanks for the info.

I would suggest you do it near the end of your cruise. Friends of ours did it in Grand Cayman which was our first port of call. Hubby fell and broke his collar bone - they almost missed the ship because they had trouble getting him discharged from the hospital. It really put a damper on the rest of their cruise. Just an FYI.

Wow! That's too bad about your friend's husband. That would really spoil the cruise. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

i was just about to suggest that... be VERY careful almost all the cruises i've been on i run into someone who's fallen off one....:( so if your not familiar with driving a scooter i would not suggest driving one on the islands as a FIRST TIMER... JUST MY TAKE......:)
