Shore excursion help!

FH and I are going on a cruise to St. Thomas, Totrola, and Bermuda for our HM. I was just looking over the excursions and there are so many to choose from. For those of you that have been to any of the places we're visiting, can you recommend an excursion or something else you think we should see? Here's a list of the excursions offered for our cruise :)

In ST Thomas I would go to Paradise Point to see the island from above and then Sapphire Beach to hang out and/or snorkel.

Ive been to St Thomas several times and those are my favorites.

I wouldnt book it through the cruiseline, though. You can grab a taxi at the pier for $8 to go to the beach and you can walk to the tram for Paradise Point and go at your leisure instead of waiting on line with the hundreds of cruisers.

We did the same thing when we were in St Thomas, although we went to Magen's Bay. They have a cute little downtown area where we went shopping as well.

Thanks! I'm afraid I'd get lost if I do something like that on my own!

We did St. Thomas & Tortola aboard the NCL Dawn for our HM! We did not do an excursion in St. Thomas but St. John's is absolutely gorgeous! If we would have booked something, that would have been it!

Tortola, we did the dolphin swim (always wanted to) & I highly recommend it especially if it is something you want to do!

Bermuda, we did that 2 years ago & we did the Restless Native Catamaran Snorkel tour! That was the best snorkeling we had ever done! So much fun, plus you get to relax in the sun on the catamaran & if you don't want to snorkel, you can just swim in the crystal blue water!!

I didnt really like Megans Bay to be honest. (Besides the bar!)

I liked Sapphire Beach better.

It's suppposed to the be one of the top ten beaches in the world and it was nice, but to be honest, I thought it would be MUCH nicer....

We did St. Thomas and Tortola during our Carnival Honeymoon cruise. From ST. Thomas, we took an excursion to St. John (Trunk Bay). It was the most beautiful beach I've ever seen (better than anything I saw in Hawaii) and was the highlight of our trip. On Tortola, we did the Dolphin encounter, which also was a great experience. A few years back, I went to Bermuda, and we went to Horseshow Bay, which was also gorgeous.

Have fun!
