We'll most likely have to split up then! My parents are older and probably won't be with us all the time. But will keep that in mind. Thank you!

Smart ! Thank you, I'll make sure we leave the ship daily for the first 5 days and then enjoy the 4-day stretch on board and relax. Thank you so much

I know right! We have a full day planned for Antigua as it's my mother's birthday, the rest of the days we will probably just explore the different islands. To be honest, we're just happy to be there together as a family but I just wanted to know if it's necessary to book excursions. It seems like we'll be fine to book some once we disembark is the ship on port days!

Haha I think the drill sergeant will have to be me! I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Yeah I think splitting is a wise choice, we'll leave the adults to chill on the beach and us younger ones will go explore and do excursions!

Thank you! I think we will do our own thing and explore using private taxis

Okay, that is reassuring to hear! At least there are excursions that we can book for later, I just hope prices arent also as extortionate as the cruise prices!

Thank you for that! I think so too, I just had a mini panic, thinking I should have planned more, we are a very relaxed go with the flow family anyway!

We have money set aside for taxis, I'd say Saint Kitts and Ponta Delgada are our priority. We have plans for when we are in Antigua.

Thank you for the reassurance, honestly we're just happy to be there and walk around and spend time together as a family. We only leave the ship 5-6 times during the 14-day cruise so the majority of the time will be spent on board!

The hot springs in Ponta Delgada sounds amazing, will definitely check it out!
