Which island would you skip if you wanted a day at the pool?

I would definitely skip St. Thomas. Way too crowded, traffic is horendous getting back to the ship - took us almost one hour to go 2 miles in August and there were only three ships in port. If I never go there again, it will be too soon!

We will be on this cruise in Dec.and although we have never been to any of these islands, after much research, have decided to make Antigua our off day. St. Thomas we will take the ferry to St Johns and Cinnamon Bay, St Martian rent a car, and Scuba dive in St. Lucia and Barbados. Antigua is mid week and I think we will need a break. We will probably sleep late take a short walk around town then head back to the ship for lunch. In the afternoon we'll just do what we feel like doing or not doing.

We're doing the same thing. Antigua is going to be our spa day and sit by the pool day. We have almost full day excursions planned for St. Lucia and Barbados so we want to be rested up for them. We look on it as an excuse to go do this route again.

Well, I have votes for just about every island!!!! I appreciate everyone's replies. Very tough decision. I love these boards...lots of info.

Do not skip St. Thomas - from St. Thomas you take a ferry over to St. John's and you will be able to spend the day at one of the most beautiful beaches on this earth.

 

St. Thomas is ok to skip - but you have to see St. John's.

 

I would shop a bit on St. Martin and then get back early.
