This tiny little island is a must if you are wanting to do some serious duty free shopping! If you don't already know why this is a must stop for any shopper then let me give you three good reasons
Well. There is not much good that I can say about this tour besides the fact that it was a reasonable price at $25. The age old saying of "you get what you pay for" is all too true in this situation.
Basic facts you will need to know about arriving and staying on the island in a point form for easy reference.
The smallest island in the world that is shared by two nations is Saint Martin/Sint Maarten in the Caribbean. Today's Saint Martin is a tranquil tropical island getaway haven. This was not always the case during the course of its protracted and frequently violent past.
When travelling through St. Maarten we had to try the local flavours which in this case would be the guavaberry liqueur.

While on the island of St. Lucia we were taken to the Morne Coubaril Historical Park as part of our island tour through the cruise line and I could have easily have spent more time there. When you arrive you are met with a few little souvenir shops that sell locally made items...
While heading to the island, there are a lot of things that you can do. After visiting, there are a few things that I suggest over others and here are my top ten's but not in any particular order.
Imagine green islands full of dense rain forests, endless banana plantations, and the most well known peaks in the Caribbean. The possibly most romantic island has a very picturesque resorts with lots of family run inns.
When I was looking at our cruise the main thing that I did not want to do was to book excursions through the cruise line as no they are more expensive than going direct. However since we had an onboard credit that we weren't going to use for anything else there was no reason for us not to use it for this reason as it would save us money from paying out of pocket for the cheaper excursions.
