Early_5 Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I have been reading these boards for weeks and there is so much good info. We are doing the San Juan cruise on carnival. Ports are barbados, st Kitts, st maartin, st Thomas, st Lucia. We are trying to vacation on a tight budget. I am bringing my 2 teen age daughters. We will probably do 1 or 2 adventure type excursions, but the rest of time will probably be spent at the beaches. Which ports are best for just walking around, right off the ship. Any have beaches in walking distance? Also looking to find a nearby brewery or rum distillery. Which beaches are your favorite low price options?

There's a Bacardi distillery in San Juan - the ship may have an excursion there. Also, the ship sill dock right at Old San Juan which is very walkable.

pattycakes Posted March 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2018 i would check the ports of call section for the individual ports. you can probably just walk to the beach at st. marteen and I recall seeing a thread on walking to emerald beach in st thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud5t Posted March 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You can definitely walk to the beach and shopping in St Maarten. There is a big walkable area with shops and restaurants in St Thomas. I can't remember what's all at the pier in St Kitts, but you can walk to a lot of places. If you wanted to go to a beach farther away in any of these ports, it's super cheap, just a few bucks.

CarolinaGirl2010 Posted March 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2018 St Martin is great for beaches and shopping. Just take the water taxi across the bay from the port to Phillipsburg. You can walk too, but it is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
