I was hoping that at one of the islands they would have a 'Riding Horses on the Beach' or 'Swimming with Dolphins' excursion - but I couldn't find them.  Ah well.  I wanted to avoid any snorkel excursion in St. Croix because we're already doing that in Barbados and St. Maarten and the kayaking we're doing in St. Lucia.  SO I'm open to any suggestions - especially if you've been to any of these places.

The Vincent Mason Pool Beach break sounds cool (mostly because it's the least expensive), but I also like the idea of visiting the Cruzan Rum Factory.  <3 Rum!

Also - they have fuller descriptions on the website - I'll copy and paste those if you like - but I was just being a lazy bum here (also - my laundry beeped and I gotta go flip it!)

st. croix, cruise
