Excursion Recomendations?

[David Grossman]

We are going on the Easter Carb. 7 Night Cruise with a 3 year old and a 5 year old. Any recomendations on what to do in st. Thomas and St. Marteen?

Thanks

My DD (5) LOVED the See and Sea in St. Maarten. In fact, she's begging to do it again.

You do an island tour, stop at an outdoor market in Marigot... and then take a boat ride that allows you to go downstairs (in the semi-submersible) to view fish.

On the other hand... St Thomas.. she HATED Coral World.

Thanks For the Info.

Do you know anything about the ButterFly farm or zoo?

BTW - If you dont sign up for any excursions, can you just get off in St. Thomas and St. Marteen and explore or go to the beach? Is it easy, as we have the 2 kids?

The dock is very close to a beach!!! We went on the Golden eagle catmaran but I would NOT recommend it with your kids' ages. we rode the water taxi to St. Martin but the locals drove my kids crazy so we went back to the ship and swam until the catamaran at 1:00. Apparently, the French side is much better than the Dutch!!

Candleonwater:
Why did your DD hate Coral World? I booked it for DS5 and DS7, but now I'm worried.

My daughter is very active - loves to try new things. So for her, Coral World was too sedate. Never mind the lizard looking creatures that kept harassing her! It was hilarious, but it made enough of an impression on her that she knows she doesn't want to go back. If we go back, it will be a combined trip - on our own, with Coki Beach.
