First timer Excursions

[sacarmic]

So we are going on our first DCL voyage aboard the Fantasy in October. We will be doing the eastern Caribbean cruise with stops in Castaway Cay, St Thomas and Tortola. There will be four of us, my wife and two daughters. My question for you all as first time cruisers, do we want to book excursions or just sightsee on our own. We are curious as to how much there is to do in the ports on our own.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
Scott

I think it depends. Understand that in Tortola, particularly, there's not a lot to see right at port. It's a small port. You may want to book something, whether through DCL or on your own with a private provider.

St. Thomas is very easy on your own.

Castaway Cay, it depends what you want. Adventure sports have to be booked via Disney. Beach? No need to book anything.
