Check the pier on your cruise documents before planning a day in San Juan. Royal Caribbean directs embarking guests to the Pan American Pier in Isla Grande, so do not assume your ship boards beside Old San Juan. Arrange transport to the named terminal and allow time for luggage drop-off and check-in.
Ways to spend your day
One fort & coffee
Choose El Morro or San Cristóbal, then fit coffee and an old-city walk around your return.
Old-city food & streets
Enjoy Old San Juan with a meal and a flexible walk instead of a full fort visit.
A separate beach outing
Choose beach time as your main stop, with a return ride and conditions checked before you settle in.

Road Town docks in the capital of the British Virgin Islands, a working harbour rather than a resort strip. The day most people want is the ferry to Virgin Gorda and The Baths, which is the boulder-and-grotto swim the BVI is known for, so check the return times before you commit.
Ways to spend your day
Pier Park & lunch
Stay close with browsing and a meal at Pier Park.
Gardens & a town meal
Add a focused garden visit to a Road Town outing, with opening and admission checked first.
Cane Garden Bay
Choose a road-based beach outing with the return settled before you leave town.
Port Zante puts you in the middle of Basseterre, so the town is a walk and the beaches are a short ride south to Frigate Bay. The scenic railway around the old sugar estates is the excursion that is genuinely hard to arrange independently.
Ways to spend your day
Stay close
Browse Port Zante, wander into town, and leave room for a relaxed return.
Beach lunch
Make the beach your main outing, with lunch at Carambola and a return ride arranged.
Fortress views
Make the historic fortress the focus, then browse the port if your call leaves time.
Roseau docks in the capital, a small working town with the Caribbean's greenest interior directly behind it. Dominica is a hiking and waterfall island rather than a beach one: Trafalgar Falls, the Emerald Pool and the boiling lake trail are what the day is for.
Ways to spend your day
Trafalgar Falls viewpoint
Choose the designated viewing route and a prearranged return drive.
Museum & Roseau
Explore the waterfront and nearby cultural stops, with a transfer included if berthed at Woodbridge Bay.
Creole waterfront lunch
Build a relaxed outing around Palisades lunch, with the café as a lighter alternative.
Carenage views, national history, or a nutmeg garden.
St. George's is Grenada's capital, a hillside town around a horseshoe harbour. Grenada is known as the Spice Isle for its nutmeg, and Grand Anse beach and rainforest waterfalls are short drives away.
Ways to spend your day
The Carenage
A selected permitted public Carenage waterfront section.
Grenada National Museum
Selected open museum displays.
De La Grenade Nutmeg Garden
The confirmed garden visitor circuit at De La Grenade.
Bridgetown docks at the Deep Water Harbour, a hot fifteen-minute walk or a short taxi from the centre. Barbados rewards going further than the town: the west coast beaches, Harrison's Cave and the Atlantic surf at Bathsheba are all different islands in effect.
Ways to spend your day
Historic Bridgetown
Explore the city with a flexible route, keeping the port transfer separate from your town time.
Carlisle Bay package
Compare the cruise-passenger package and its return schedule before committing to a beach day.
A shorter port visit
Stay with the terminal’s food and shops when you prefer a short outing or less travel.
