S. Carib: docks or tenders?

[Triptakers]

We're taking the Destiny to St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados & Aruba. Do these stops all have walk-right-off-the-ship docks, or are we going to tender anywhere?

 

Oh, and while I'm questioning you all, once you get off the dock, is it at all intimidating for little kids? I didn't feel nervous at all at Roatan, but my little ones were a bit nervous, and Belize, forget it! That was a bit uncomfortable for all of us.

 

Thanks all!

The stops on the Destiny are all docks. I don't know what to tell you about your kids being uncomfortable. What are their ages and what was it about your previous stops that made you all uncomfortable?

My girls are 2 and 5, and were a bit intimidated by the assertive locals around the dock. Being touched and crowded by so many strangers freaked them out. Is that likely in S Carib ports also? (although I'm not sure what I'd do with the information anyway, I guess it would be good to know ahead of time,anyway...

At each of the port on the southern route there is a huge area between the dock and where the taxi cabs and vendors can stand. The closet would be in St Thomas but its not bad at all.

 

Have a great cruise.
