We did that route on the AOS last year. I can tell you what we did at each port. In St. Martin we took the water taxi to Phillipsburg and walked over to Everything's Cool Beach and later did a little shopping. In Antigua, we took a taxi to Lashings Beach. The beach was beautiful and almost deserted, but there was a bad odor coming from a fuel pumping station nearby. In St. Lucia, we did the catamaran excursion to the Pitons and a cocoa plantation with a little snorkeling stop. In Barbados we took a taxi to The Boatyard Beach. If you need any other info, just let me know.

St. Maarten: I'd take an island tour - something so that you could see both the French and the Dutch side!

In St. Lucia I enjoyed the volcano tour.

Cruiserkcs:
Did you do all these things on your own or through Royal Caribbean?? Would you recommend all of them except, of course, the Lashings Beach experience?? Thanks again for your help!!
