Best Excursion of the Cruise - From the Royal Caribbean Cruise, we did 4 island excursions. This one was by FAR the favorite adventure for everyone in our group. The Spanish galleon ship was in great shape with protection from the sun and rain. The views of St. Lucia were breathtaking! We were treated to water, bananas, and later rum punch on the ship. We docked at Soufriere, had a very short drive (my normally-carsick-husband was fine even with the twists and turns) to the volcano mud baths (the sudden downpour and overcrowding made it crazy, but it was an unforgettable experience). Next we were treated to some Creole cuisine for lunch, and thoroughly enjoyed the local flavors, including some coconut candy! Back on the ship we traveled to a bay area and people either jumped or climbed down the ladder for a swim in the ocean. This was my favorite activity of the whole week-long cruise. Back on the ship we did some dancing with the captain and crew, saw more gorgeous views, and drank plenty of rum punch. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion!

Great Day Out - We had a great day out onthe Pirate ship. The crew worked really hard to keep all ages entertained for the whole day,were informative about St Lucia. The views along the coastline are spectacular, the Soufriere excursions are included in the overall cost but be ready to tip the local guides as they are all freelance.
