Travel Tips
1
The bus system in San Juan stops at all the major attractions and is an affordable way to tour the city, both in Old San Juan and beyond to the neighborhoods of Condado and New San Juan. Old San Juan also has a free trolley service that visits many of the top sites. Look for the marked trolley stop signs and wait for the next one to arrive, which typically doesn’t take long as trolleys are frequently running. There are three different routes and two types of trolleys to choose from: open-air and enclosed with air conditioning. Taxis are also easy to hail in San Juan, where they line up outside the cruise terminal or in ranks around the city.2
Old San Juan has a plethora of souvenir shops in its colorful streets. For a fun souvenir from San Juan, pick up a Panama hat. Ceramics, spices, coffee, jewelry, and hammocks also make great gifts. If you have more time in the city, stroll along Ashford Avenue in the high-end Condado neighborhood, where there’s a variety of boutiques and luxury stores. Plaza Las Americas, the largest mall in the Caribbean, has many popular brand-name stores.3
The official currency in Puerto Rico is the U.S. Dollar. You’ll find ATMs all around the city dispensing dollar bills. Expect to tip what you’re used to in the U.S., which is typically 15% to 20% of the total bill.Tortola, BVI
Besides being one of the most scenic islands in the Caribbean, Tortola also has a fascinating cultural and historical side. For a glimpse into the island’s colonial past, visit the Virgin Islands Folk Museum. The restored house was once the family home of shipwright, Joseph Wilfred Penn and features a deep collection of Arawak and Carib pottery and stone tools, as well as plantation artifacts. Hike along the seven available walking trails in Sage Mountain National Park for stunning panoramic views of the island and the surrounding natural habitat. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea and a rum tasting at Callwood Rum Distillery are essential on a cruise to Tortola. Sample the delicious curries, spicy soups, and sumptuous shellfish dishes available in abundance at local restaurants and many snack shacks around the island.
Travel Tips
1
The best way to get around Tortola independently is by taxi. Rates are fixed, and many of the local drivers double up as guides. If you ask a driver to drop you at a beach, remember to agree on a pick-up time. In Road Town itself, you can walk, and there are ferries to the other islands. Car rental is another option, but bear in mind that driving is on the left here, a legacy of the British, and there are numerous local hazards, among them potholes, goats, and basking lizards. The island is steep and hilly, so if you’re renting a bike, opt for an e-bike.2
Top souvenirs to get during your British Virgin Islands cruise include gems and metal bracelets pounded out right in front of you by local jewelers. To bring the flavors of the Caribbean home with you, local rum and spices are also popular. You can also find local art and pottery in the shops of Road Town, and jewelry, cigars, and clothing from the stalls at Tortola Pier Park.3
Though the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory, don’t expect to use the British Pound while there. The official currency of the islands is actually the U.S. Dollar. Tipping here is part of the culture, an influence of the many visitors from the U.S, and is similar to what you’ll encounter back home. From 10% to 20% is normal in restaurants, while bartenders and taxi drivers, especially driver-guides, should also be tipped.Basseterre, St Kitts & Nevis
Explore French and English colonial architecture, breathtaking beaches, and lush landscapes beneath soaring mountain peaks.
Walking distance from the St. Kitts cruise port, find the Circus and Independence Square. The Circus is a roundabout lined by local shops with artisanal batik clothing, leatherwork, and weaving. Stroll another couple blocks to Independence Square, site of the stately courthouse and cathedral.
West of Basseterre, visit 350-year-old Romney Manor estate, once owned by a British earl. The grounds include magnificent gardens with exotic plants and an amazing saman tree—as old as the estate—that covers half an acre.
Tour Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, 750 feet above the Caribbean. Ride a narrow-gauge train through breathtaking scenery on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway tour. All round the island, take in magnificent views of Mount Liamuiga, a 3,792-foot-high dormant volcano. Of course, pristine beaches and turquoise waters are everywhere.
For lunch, seek out rustic plantation homes that serve hearty West Indian fare like fresh seafood, local rotis, mango ginger chicken, and goat water stew, blending the islands’ staple protein with local papaya and breadfruit.
You'll have so much to discover before returning to the St. Kitts cruise port.

Travel Tips

The easiest way to get around the island is by taxi; these have set fares between various points on the island. There are also local minibuses operating from The Circus in Basseterre. You could rent a car, scooter, or ATV, but remember that driving is on the left—and you’ll be sharing the road with goats, donkeys, and cows. You’ll also need a local driver’s permit for any of these. Ferries operate between St. Kitts and Nevis, the journey taking 45 minutes, with water taxi a quicker option if you want a private boat.2
The main shopping area of Basseterre is located just steps from the pier, in Port Zante. Head further into Basseterre for more authentic purchases, from paintings by Caribbean artists to antique maps and handmade flip-flops and purses. Other popular souvenirs to bring home with you from St. Kitts include handmade batik prints, clothing and jewelry, Caribbean dolls, rum, spicy sauces, and locally made arts and crafts.3
The official currency of St. Kitts is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, or EC$, pegged to the U.S. Dollar at a rate of EC$2.7 to $1. U.S. dollar bills—but not coins—are also accepted at most places. Even if paying with U.S. dollars, change is usually given in Eastern Caribbean dollars. You can find ATMs in Basseterre. Most stores and restaurants take credit cards, but keep some cash handy for buying things in markets or at street stalls. For tipping, check if the service charge is already added to the bill. If not, it is generally expected to leave 10% to 15% of your total bill. For taxis, also expect to tip 10% to 15% of the total fare.Roseau, Dominica
On this tiny island of high mountains and unusual beaches, you can explore volcanoes, rainforests, and a reef that bubbles. In the capital, Roseau, you'll sway to the infectious rhythm of reggae and behold the historic architecture of the French Quarter. Discover the black sand beaches, eerie shipwrecks, and teeming Caribbean reefs. Underwater volcanic vents at Champagne Reef turn the sea here into an effervescent dream world. Explore Dominica's interior in a 4x4 and hike lush rainforests amid untamed volcanoes. See where Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was filmed. Swim the waterfalls at Emerald Pool or Titou Gorge and experience the healing waters at sulfur springs. In Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you’ll find a great variety of flora and fauna. Marvel at the boiling lake and seething geysers in the Valley of Desolation. In Carib Territory, on the Atlantic coast, browse for native images, carvings, and crafts. Back in Roseau, find hand-made treasures—baskets, attire, soaps, rugs, and carvings—at the historic Old Market Plaza. Dominica’s volcanic soil, tropical weather, and Caribbean waters produce abundant fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood. French and local chefs make good use of them. Sip hand-squeezed juices, savor hearty stews, and try callaloo, the national dish, which originated in West Africa.
Travel Tips

Renting a car or reserving a taxi in advance of your trip are your best bets for navigating the island of Dominica’s mountainous and coastal terrains. A driving tour of the island takes time, but it’s a great way to see Dominica’s full beauty. As one of the bigger Caribbean islands, so it’s not very walkable except for the downtown of the capital city, Roseau, itself. Be sure to settle on a fare with your taxi driver before you proceed with your ride. Excursions and independent tours will figure out the logistics of getting around for you, so they are a popular option with cruise passengers.2
Old Market is one of Roseau’s signature shopping areas, where vendors sell their wares in a classically Caribbean open air market. It’s been an important town square for over 300 years, serving as a town hall of sorts as well as a harrowing slave market. Everything from straw goods like bags and hats to souvenirs are available for sale at Old Market. Produce and local food goods like mangoes and guava are market staples. Plus, it’s located right behind the Dominica Museum, so you can shop and then head inside the museum for a break from the heat.3
On your cruise to Dominica, you’ll use the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD). Tipping isn’t the norm in Dominica, and at restaurants a service charge is typically already included in the bill. Like other Caribbean countries, you can leave an additional tip if you wish. For taxi drivers, it’s up to you if you want to tip additionally. It may be helpful for them to give a tip if they act as a tour guide, or if you arrange for them to drop you at multiple stops.Castries, St. Lucia
Fan out from Castries to find escapes for every taste. Near the port, browse Pointe Seraphine, for duty-free goods, or colorful Castries Central Market, for native spices and hand-made crafts. Sample the best of St. Lucia on a highlights tour to the Castries Market, historic Catholic church, and city square, and don't miss breathtaking views from Caribelle Batik, offering artisanal goods. Or, join a leisurely coastal cruise past Marigot Bay. Novelist James A. Michener described it as "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean."
Travel Tips
1
Taxi and group excursions are the two best ways to see sights beyond the center of Castries. Walking around the city center is common for cruise passengers who wish to stay in Castries during their stop in St. Lucia. Coordinate a multi-stop tour with a taxi driver, but agree on a fare before leaving. Boat rides are also a popular method to getting to Soufriere, and are quicker than taking the route via car. On a cruise to Castries, car rentals are available too for those who would like to drive to the winding roads of St. Lucia.2
Fans of open air markets will find plenty to see at Castries Market, where over 300 vendors sell their goods every day but Sunday. Saturdays are the busiest day to visit the market. The Castries Market is known for its variety of spices for sale, and the place to stock up on locally sourced spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cocoa. Pointe Seraphine, one of the places where your Castries cruise ship may be docked, is home to duty-free shopping where you can purchase art, gifts, and souvenirs very conveniently near the terminal.3
Saint Lucia uses the East Caribbean dollar, and local ATMs will spit out this currency when you withdraw funds. U.S. dollars are generally accepted at most establishments, but it’s always good to ask. The fixed exchange rate is that $1 USD is equal to $2.70 East Caribbean dollars. You’ll receive East Caribbean currency back whenever you need change. In terms of tipping, be sure to leave a small tip for a tour guide or taxi driver. In St. Lucia, a 10% service charge is usually already included in your bill at restaurants, and you can choose how much to tip additionally from there.Bridgetown, Barbados
When Bajans say, "Life's a beach," they mean 80 pristine beaches, some long and straight, some hidden among cliffs, many among the world's most beautiful. Cruise to Barbados for water sports include jet skiing at lively Mullins Beach, paddle boarding at Pebbles Beach, and surfing at Atlantic Shores. Small boats will take you swimming with the turtles, or you can skipper your own Hobie Cat, try spearfishing, or lounge aboard a luxurious catamaran with drinks. Launch a 4x4 safari into the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in search of green monkeys, a rare sight outside Africa. Explore Harrison's Cave from a tram, viewing stalactites, stalagmites, and underground streams. People have come here to trade since the English in 1627. Today, you'll find designer fashion, fine jewelry, fragrances, electronics, and leather in this tax haven. Talented islanders produce exquisite art and collectables. Foodies love this “culinary capital of the Caribbean,” fusing the flavors of Africa, the West Indies, and Europe. The Atlantic provides a delicious array of fish including shark, salmon, cod, red snapper, and flying fish, a symbol of Barbados, as well as shrimp, lobster, and crabs. Chicken, beef, pork, turkey, and duck are served fried, grilled, baked, roasted, and pickled. On the side, look for cou-cou, rice and peas, pelau, and macaroni pie, along with tropical fruits.
Travel Tips

Barbados has an excellent public transportation network, and traveling by bus is a great way to experience local culture. The government-owned electric buses are blue and yellow and criss-cross the whole island; simply wave to the driver from the marked red, white, and black bus stops. You can also use the island’s privately-owned minibuses, which are painted yellow with blue stripes, or ZR vans, also private, which are white with maroon stripes. The ZR vans are famed for their hair-raising speeds and loud music, and are not for the faint-hearted. Carry cash for the fare for all three options, in Barbados dollars. Taxis are also available, and there’s a local ride-hailing app, PickUP. You could rent a car, scooter, e-bike, or Mini-Moke, too, but remember that driving is on the left in Barbados.2
There’s no end of fun souvenirs to bring home from Barbados. Rum is one of the most popular—Mount Gay, distilled on the island, is one of the world’s most famous brands. Hot sauce and cane sugar rum cake also make great edible gifts. Pick up island-made pottery and mahogany wood carvings, as well as locally made jewelry, beach fashion, and art. One of the best places to find local crafts is the colorful Pelican Craft Centre in Bridgetown, close to the cruise terminal. You’ll find 25 shops here, as well as 14 workshops. For upscale department stores and duty-free shopping, try Broad Street in the city center.3
The official currency of the island is the Barbados dollar (BD$), but U.S. dollars are often accepted. You’ll be given change in Barbados dollars. Some small rural establishments may be unwilling to accept U.S. dollars, so it’s advisable to carry some local currency on excursions. There are ATMs in Bridgetown, and many establishments take credit cards, although cash is useful for food shacks and small souvenirs. At restaurants, your bill will typically already have a 10-15% service charge included, so there’s no need for a further tip. If there’s no service charge, a 10% tip is customary for good service.Day at Sea
