Visit the ports of call board.... tons of ideas there. We did a tour with Royston (actually had his cousin Ashton as our guide), and had a fantastic day. A friend of mine just toured with Royston as well, and she had a great time too; it was one of their favorite days. It was one of ours too! roystontours dot com.

Our favorite thing is to go to Cockleshell Beach at the extreme southern end of the island. The beach is nice with views of Nevis in the distance. Very good restaurant and service not to mention a 600 lb pig named Wilbur! Getting there is the best part as the road runs down the spine of the island. Dramatic views of the Atlantic on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other.

 

Third trip to Cockleshell coming up in March.

On our last cruise, St. Kitts was our last port of call. By then we were tired and a little too toasty from all the previous days' of sun-worshipping so we just went to the shops in port then headed back to the ship, so can't help you there.

 

BUT, just a warning, there are a few guys with a little monkey that are waiting for you as soon as you walk into the port. Don't let them near you. they'll walk over and put the monkey on your shoulder and offer to take your pic with your camera then demand money. It didn't happen to me but I saw them in action. they came walking torwards me and I put my hand up and sternly said "No" then they turned and walked another way.

 

Although we were only in port, the island is gorgeous!!! Have agreat cruise!!:cool:

I would head over to Nevis. It's a smaller island right off of St. Kitts that is very nice. Don't know about your particular sailing, but there are excursions offered over there.

We really enjoyed Cockleshell Beach too! Nice views on the ride out to the beach. Wilbur was amazing! He's huge and not tied to anything! He just lays around all day...for the most part.

We did a great Zipline tour there. At the time it was one of the Carnival excursions, not sure if it is dstill isted or not.

We did a catamaran snorkel trip to Nevis. Wow....what an amazing day! I believe it was through Carnival. I

We loved our day with Royston. Great tour. You customize the tour, he takes you where ever you want when ever you want. We teamed up with another family for a total of 8ppl(his max) and it was $25pp.

We did the scenic railroad, and still had time to go to the beach after that.

Was a pretty neat train ride and great way to see more of the beautiful island.

St Kitts was our favorite stop because we were able to see so much of the island. We did Island Safari Tours with Troy.. met them in port! There was a lot of info explained by our driver. You can google them.

I agree with Relayer, DH and I spent a day at Reggae Beach Bar and had a great time in March 2010. Got some pictures with Wilbur, and some nice pictures of Nevis from the beach. And yes, the drive there was beautiful! Would love to go there again some day. :)

We did an amazing day tour with Thenford Grey on St. Kitts. He is very knowledgeable about his home, plus a real gentleman!

[tiffanieb]

We did a tour with Royston as well amazing day that end with us spending the afternoon at cockleshell beach best bar ever And not to forget to mention Wilbur!! Has the best day here

[Colorado Kat]

We went to the Shipwreck Bar on South Friar's Beach. Grabbed a cab there for $5 pp. Nice beach, one daughter went snorkeling. Lovely day.

Make that 4....loved the beach, the views, and the Reggae beach bar.

[cruisehappi]

The Sugar Train is a great way to see the island. Next time I go, I'll hit the fortress for more great views ...

[Cigar Dude]

We will be getting on that ship as you are disembarking.... I hope you have a wonderful cruise, as I am sure DW and I will the week after you.

I booked a tour with Herrod Tours. I read about him here on the boards. I think it will be great fun.

We did Panoramic St Kitts and Brimestone Hill Fortress through Carnival and loved it.
