A Knitter Posted June 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Feedback here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1197696 We had an excellent day there about six months ago. I was there in December, 2009. No problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esther e Posted June 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the incident that happened was at night after a girl was at a wedding. Everyone must be aware of their surroundings and not travel at night, alone. I have no fear of going to St. Lucia and will be there this fall. Having said that, we pretty much only go on ship excursions though. Just our preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiesan Posted June 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2010 According to this article there were three separate times tourists were attacked: http://www.stlucianewsonline.com/?p=1945 I'd suggest you start reading recent threads in the ports of call section to get a feel for what is going on in St. Lucia now. Plenty of ships are still going there, as is O. I'm not going to worry about it too much, just be aware that there have been problems in the past. Actually I hope more cruise lines pull out because then it won't be too crowded during my visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzboy Posted June 7, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 7, 2010 On my only two visits to this island, the first we were accosted by a man wielding a machete (near the public market) asking for money and the second we were insulted by a beach vendor tellling us we were "sinners". When you think that many of these islands rely on tourism for their livelihoods these incidents don't make me feel safe nor welcoming. And I'm certainly not a loud obnoxious tourist either. So suffice to say I don't think I'll ever want to step ashore on this island again - there's no reason to give them my hard earned $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepawa Posted June 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2010 On our three visits to St Lucia, 1998, 2004 and this past March 2010, we felt safe anywhere on the island. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
