Answer 1

In Puerto Rico, its going to be night, so I would take a tour of Old San Juan and New San Juan. That was pretty fun. Theres some decent shopping, and the adults hang out at bars, but other then that I dont really know about anything else. When I went there, we took a tour of this cemetery thing, and it was pretty cool.

In St. Maarten, definitely try and snorkel, and or take a tour of the town. The buildings are painted in a variety of different colors and there is some great shopping. Lots of fun. Its an awesome place.

Ive never been to St. Kitts, St. Johns, Antigua, or Tortola. You could always just let her help you pick out the excursions based on what she thinks would be interesting? Thats what my parents did and I loved it. You could also wait until you get on the ship, and then book the excursions when you get on board as well.

Have fun. Bon Voyage.

Answer 2

Go  for a tour of the Fort San Cristobol.  Its run by the US National Park Service.

Answer 4

Hi there! We went on a cruise last Sept. that stopped in San Juan Puerto Rico. The port there is beautiful and filled with cool shops (and free alcohol samples, haha). When you get out of the port, there are tons of taxis wanting to take you everywhere - walk by the first ones and hunt through the back ones - they are usually cheaper (my parents said they saved $30 but not taking up the offers from the taxis in front of the lines!). The taxis will offer 'city tours'. It's a cool idea, but my hubby and I preferred to walk around. We started walking by all the shops. Then we hopped on the free shuttle (looks like a green trolley) to the Fort. What a beautiful place! It's cool and the views of the ocean are unbelievable. Walk further down towards the left and there is a nice lawn area - look after the walls - you'll see shacks on the beach!!! I mean the dumpiest homes right on awesome water front property! Weirdest sight! After the fort, we walked down the 'hill' towards the cruise ship. We stopped at some more stores and went into the casino (of course, haha). Then we went back on the ship. Very nice port just to walk around and catch the sights and see how other people live. Beware all the poor homeless abandoned kitties :(
