Booked our honeymoon today!

We booked a Royal Caribbean cruise in a balcony cabin leaving from Puerto Rico and going to St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados!

Have you been to any of those locations? What would you recommend doing at the ports?

Congrats! We did a similar itinerary on the RCCL Serenade of the Seas in 2009.

We did two really fun excursions on St. Lucia and Barbados. On St. Lucia, we did a day trip with Cosol Tours. It was a great way to familiarize ourselves with the island and you get a wide variety of experiences - we went to a banana plantation, the sulfur springs, a waterfall, snorkeling at what was then the Jalousie Plantation. We also got food and drinks all day long. It was a great tour.

On Barbados, we did a day-long catamaran cruise with Silver Moon. It was perfect - great food and drinks, not a packed boat like we saw many of the cruisers on, super laidback, and we got to swim with the sea turtles.

I can highly recommend both based on our experience a few years ago. It's worth looking on Trip Advisor to see if they're still doing well though. I found out about both of these excursions through Cruise Critic.
