Fantasy Eastern Oct 21-28 excursions

[Jonathan W Jones]

myself, DW and DD5 are payed up on this cruise. We didn't do any excursions on our first Disney cruise last October. I have booked Aristocat Charters for Tortola and we are going to The Baths and Cooper Island. Any ideas for St. John??

St. John is one of my favorite places ever! We are booked on the 9/9 Eastern (3rd time on this cruise, 1st going to Tortola). For St. John, we have done the Eco Hike/Beach Tour which was fantastic! It's slow/moderate paced tour of a sugar plantation and the surrounding areas, then they take you to a private beach where the only people there are the people on your tour. It was unbelievable. Second time around we chose to do the catamaran/snorkel/beach tour and it was just as great.
Still deciding which to choose for this next cruise!

Have fun!

My wife and I are going in December and are very interested in your choices. Our son has worked on a dive boat for 2 summers out of Roadtown and he says take a private charter. We cant decide...

I have heard good things about private charters as well. I would search the forums here and see if you can find recommendations from other cruisers. For me, I usually go with Disney so I don't have to worry about anything. Especially traveling with a child. BUT, if you find something not offered via Disney that is highly recommended, I would say its worth giving it a try.

I have the same idea as you trying to find recommendations. We have a large group traveling together, so booked a private charter with Aristocats in Tortola. Hoping to find something similar in St. Thomas to take us to St. John. But I haven't found one yet. will post back if I do.
