Barbados:

   Out of all the islands, Barbados was the one I was the most disappointed by.  One of the main problems with the island was that the ship was docked right in front of a huge industrial yard and it was very ugly.  We had no excursions planned for the day so we just stayed on the boat the entire day.  I found that there was a ping pong tournament on the ship at 12:30PM so I went to it.  My brother and I also competed in the mini-golf tournament

St. Lucia:

    The ship docked in St. Lucia the next morning at around 10:00AM.  We had already eaten breakfast so it was time to go do our next excursion which was a Canopy Tour (Jungle zip line).  It was yet another long bus ride but totally worth it.  We were able to make it to the zip line area but it was so humid (duh, it’s a jungle).  There was a giant tiki bar at the start of the tour where they showed us how to put on our harnesses and helmets.  The only problem I had with it was that they

Antigua:

    Antigua was our most busy island.  My mom and I had planned 2 shore excursions in 1 day for this island.  In the morning, we were ATV’ing.  It was VERY fun because we were on trials that drove through the country side and could go very fast on the ATVs.  It was a very beautiful island with lots of palm trees and historical buildings.  One of the stops we made while ATV’ing was at an old plantation windmill.  It was built in 1850 and was still standing.  We were able to

get back to the ship just in time to go back out to do our 2nd excursion, horseback riding!  It was a quick drive to the beach where we were going to do the excursion.  My mom and I have plenty of experience horseback riding since my grandfather used to own horses so it wasn’t anything new to us.  We were hoping they would give us free reign of the horses but the guides made us stay in a line and we couldn’t even make the horses gallop.  Otherwise, the guides would yell at you.  The horseback riding was the worst excursion we went on just because the guides were very unfriendly.  My mom and I both agree that we would’ve been fine if we had just done ATV’ing for that day.  We still enjoyed the beach after the riding was over.  We had also made a tradition of trying the local beer of the island.  I got a few Albino Bowler pics of him with the beer and on the beach.

    It was a nice bus ride to where we were kayaking.  The bus driver was incredibly nice and had a lot of knowledge about the island.  She even stopped the bus in the middle of the road so we could see some of the monkeys that live on the island!  We eventually made it to the starting location for kayaking.  First, we went snorkeling though.  It was fun; there were a ton of black sea urchins everywhere.  Once everyone was tired of snorkeling, we got into our kayaks and made the 2 and a half mile trip along the edge of the island.  The entire time, my mom complained because she actually had to paddle to make the boat go.  I kept pushing her to paddle and we eventually made it to the stopping point.  As soon as I stepped into the sand, my feet felt like they were on fire.  The beach was all black sand and it was extremely

    The shopping in St. Kitts was amazing.  We went through many stores and eventually found an ice cream shop.  As if we weren’t fat enough already, we got ice cream cones.  I ended up buying the most stuff out of 2 of the shops.  We eventually got tired and went back to the ship.

    Later that night, I took the Albino Bowler around the ship and took some pictures of the various places I had spent the most time.  This included the casino, internet café, sushi bar, and main lobby of the ship.  I also had our waiters and our entire table take a group photo with him.
