We did a carnival cruise to St. Kitts last January. We chose to do one of the open air tour buses that take you around the island. It was so much fun and I would highly recommend it. We saw a bunch of them outside the cruise terminals and found one that looked like other cruise passengers were taking it too. It was $25 a person for a several hour tour. They showed us the beaches, the jungle, a castle ruin, and the pass where the island narrows to its iconic shape. There were multiple stops where we bought local food (we bought the best chicken and rib platter off a side of the road vendor open air BBQing and it was amazing!) and soft drinks were provided. He even had local beers for free! It didn't feel super touristy as they took us to more local spots. Everyone was kind and helpful. We love the Caribbean.

[@keithanthony9449]

Absolutely love your videos. It's great when you take us with you on your excursions. The little bits of history is a great added bonus. Keep up the great work.

[@ricktaylor5397]

Really enjoyed the vlog on one of my favorite ports. Couple of corrections though. St. Kitts & Nevis are not part of the British Virgin Islands. They have been an independent country since 1983. Secondly, Alexander Hamilton was born in 1755, not 1855, and the house was built around 1680.

[@nakidaarthurton]

I came here to say this, but I'm glad they enjoyed my Island😊

[@timothycollins3829]

Sounded like a great tour. Next time I go to St. Kitts, it sounds like a great idea. Another option for a private tour is Thenford Grey tours. He does a full day tour of St. Kitts that is tremendous.

[@dawnking9408]

I would go on the island tour

[@user-xw8zt2jo7w]

St. Kitts is one of my favorites. We taxied to the Shipwreck Bar and snorkeled. They have black sand beaches and wild but friendly monkeys. Also went on a snorkeling/drinking excursion to an actual partially sank ship. Again, great snorkeling and great hosts on the catermaran. EECC, you are our idols! Keep traveling and sharing.

[@EECCTravels]

Oh that sounds fun…lol, I mean who doesn’t like a ship wreck bar?! We may have to do that excursion next time! Send me the link if you don’t mind!! Thank you for your support and happy travels to you!! 😊🤙

[@kimhead5129]

Going to St. Kitts this Sept. Would like to know about this Shipwreck Bar too!

[@darlenep.a.2731]

May I ask who you booked your snorkeling excursion through?

[@user-xw8zt2jo7w]

@@darlenep.a.2731 Carnival

[@darlenep.a.2731]

Thanks for this. Hubby and I are doing that exact cruise soon and it's our first since the pandemic. Last one was Symphony in 2020.

[@lucylu3793]

We took a day rate at The Mariott in St Kitts. We also loved Nevis. It's tough to choose. That's why we went twice lol

[@reneeoverbeck7866]

The island tours are the best! Especially when you book outside the cruise line.❤

[@DouglasCyr]

Have been to St Kitts several times and enjoyed my visit but now Nevis is on my list! Looks like a great day. Thanks for taking us along!!!

[@skbenergy]

Am a aviation spotter from St. Kitts....I love this video.... I hope you guys had a blast, am loving this blog :) !!!, not much people go over to Nevis so am happy you guys did this :)...makes my heart warm.

[@teresaedwards250]

When we were in saint Kitts we took a train tour and really enjoyed it.very pretty views from the train.and lots of Pina colada s,that they gave you on the train.this was back in 2017

[@user-hm1np3fj9f]

Wow, what the experience, thank you

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Thank you for this tour, we have been there twice and never paid attention to Nevis, we’ll be there in April again, we’ll do this tour!

[@ExploringME]

St Kitts is such a beautiful island. It is also one of the best places that I have ever been snorkeling. I took my boys last year on an excursion that I booked through Royal Caribbean called "Kayak and Snorkel" and it was amazing!! The guides were amazing, and we were able to see stingrays and sea turtles and not just the tropical fish that you typically see on a snorkeling excursion. Thank you both for sharing your experiences with the world!! I love them all!!

[@yvette968]

Thank you 😊 Nevis is beautiful. I hope you both had a wonderful time. ❤

[@user-hm1np3fj9f]

Fantastic shows, thank you

[@MrRbrgrn]

ROFL!!! ok no lemon citrus towel to the face!!! Thanks for the laugh

[@deshonjb]

Woww. The aqua show was beyond. So epic. The people are greatly talented❤

[@jenniferrichardson3733]

We were on the inaugural cruise and loved St. Kitts and absolutely LOVED the Aqua show!! Glad we got to meet you, Jason and bummed I only got to say "hi" in passing to you, Elise. Love your channel and watch all of your videos.

[@mimikarenbryant7325]

We visited St. Kitts last month with HAL. Opted for an island tour there that included Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park which was the highlight of the tour! So next time you might enjoy visiting the fort! We will do a ferry tour over to Nevis (like you did). We'd love all the historical sites! next time! It's unfortunate we have to choose right? But there's always a next time! Great video!

[@wickedmainah950]

My first cruise we went to st.kitts. we did the train and catamaran tour around st Kitts. That was an awesome experience. Saw monkeys and old sugar mills. The train went by a school, all the little kids came out to wave. The catamaran was great too, saw flying fish and drank local beers and soda. Friendly laid back people. It must have been 105 when we went.

[@Kellyu4]

I love Ting!! We get them in Jamaica, but I have never seen them in glass bottles. I am going to look for the pink one in April when we go. Love your videos.

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Caribbean Adventure! Loving the island vibes and scenic tour!

[@lynnecornelison5903]

We did an island tour of St Kitts in May with Thenford Grey Tours. Like Teach, a mature local who proudly showed us much of his homeland. (His son actually lives in our AL town; it is a small world.) I loved hearing his childhood experiences, as he was about 7 years older than us. But he left the driving to his nephew. No boulder bumps. We visited the Romney property (Mitt Romney’s ancestors) with beautiful landscaping and a batik shop. My main focus: Brimstone Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on a hill with sweeping views of the Caribbean. The setting for that could have been Hawaii; so similar. Guess it’s the volcanic origins. We ended at Frigate Bay for a delicious lunch and a float in warm, comfortable water. (And gave a big War Eagle when I saw the flag on the restaurant ceiling.) We said if we return, we would give Nevis a try.

[@andrewaskew174]

Hi there Guys, Thankyou you very much for your really good videos. I have been to the Caribbean in 2016. Every Island is different. St Kitts and Nevis is nice. Its well worth a visit. The beaches are good , the beaches are better in Antigua and Barbuda.Barbados is also great and is beautiful. Thanks and enjoy your holiday

[@fayesouthall6604]

Wow what a beautiful ship. 🚢

[@beckymungo1333]

Yes, I would love to go Nevis.

[@heideleskun1163]

Ting is really good, especially from the Southern Caribbean. I've totally noticed differences. I actually like a good vinegar coleslaw, that one looked good.

[@danham2001]

We are going to St Kitts and Nevis in December and can’t wait. We are planning on doing the Volcano hike… would love to know if any others had done this whilst you were there. Love the videos, you guys rock!

[@jamespugh]

Looks like you had a amazing time guys. Yea we would to the guide tour I think. Look amazing with history.

[@throughmylens3530]

Love your video, So much info. You totally explain what you are doing and get to the point. Much better than Friar Tuck and Maid Marian. Keep up the great videos.

[@peterbunter2059]

We were on the MSC Seascape docked in front of you. Love your videos. Please keep making them. Pete and Janis from the UK.

[@ExpeditionGenao]

What a great little vlog!! Beautifully showcased some lovely gems of the islands ! ❤

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@monielove713]

Love watching you all!

[@artthomas2539]

Nevis looks like a great place to visit Thanks for sharing!

[@jwmhesselink]

Plan to live on Nevis !

[@user-sf9rs9kf8g]

It looked like a great tour.

[@deba175]

Can’t wait to watch next one !!😊

[@ARCAdventures]

Ahh so crazy. So we very nearly were on the same excursion as you all. We chose a beach break on Nevis with Shore Excursion Group but it was canceled but we newly chose yours. Boo would have been cool! Great vlog!

[@suziejo0505]

Hey guys, I would definitely go to the Island! if time I would do both!

[@kjellmyraas6552]

That looks woundful st Kitts you guys so I hope That look beautiful and wonderful to be there on st Kitts

[@GROW_YT_VIEWS_137]

So uplifting!

[@virgloh8934]

Thanks for the tour..I'll be there in April, Royal Caribbean, not sure what excursions we have booked thru RC....I was in Europe in November and loved, loved that cruise...

[@EECCTravels]

Definitely take a look at the link in the pinned comment and look at the excursions available for your upcoming cruise. They have the best ‘back to ship’ promise I have seen in a third party company offer.

[@ParrotplaySix]

St. Kitts is my favorite island.🌴

[@JulieThompson38]

Love you two. The aqua show looked amazing.

[@EECCTravels]

It’s mind blowing how they do that!!

[@johnthyen5599]

I did a tour of the romney estate in st kitts on my last trip. I will switch it up and go to Nevis on the prima in November 11 day.

[@trishkeller8228]

We did an island tour of St Kitts our first time, but Nevis looked amazing and we will find Teach next time!

[@user-ub8fn5ek5u]

I’m surprised this is your first time in St Kitts- I have been so I would have stayed on the ship to enjoy it while other passengers go visit the island- matter of fact I won’t get off the ship until the end of the cruise- I have done the Caribbean islands so many times that I don’t need to do it if I was on the Icon of the seas - it’s nice to be on the ship if it’s not crowded

[@ronaldbernier462]

Next time we go to St Kitts I would most defiantly like to do a Nevis island tour. That looked awesome.

[@EECCTravels]

You should! It was a cool experience 👍

[@mAdCapper]

I can't wait to get an itenerary that goes to St Kitts. Thanks for the tour! Tbh, I am surprised you aren't still feeling a but from the bar crawl 🤣🤣

[@EECCTravels]

Haha! There were a couple of days in between.

[@tomhovatter4247]

Awesome video, you guys always do a fantastic job of capturing your excursions. We’re going to St Kitts next year and we’re looking at an excursion similar to yours and one that just goes to Pinneys Beach on Nevis. Was that the same beach you went to? And would you recommend the Beach from what you saw?

[@debschultz143]

Next time we go to St Kitts I want to do that excursion!!!

[@nathenzuber4021]

Cool looking beard, fits your face perfectly.

[@sulialto]

Alisa ~ YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT! NEE-vus! The resort looked fabulous too ~ please let us know the tour operator!

[@EECCTravels]

There is a link in the pinned comment 👍

[@Albanwinter]

That tour looked awesome! I'm not particularly a beachy type of person so I think that tour is right up my alley. Now for a question about the crepes on the ship...Do they have just a regular chocolate spread for them? I don't care for Nutella but I love crepes. (I can hear people gasping now "You don't like Nutella?! What is wrong with you?!" LOL. I just don't like hazelnuts.)

[@EECCTravels]

We only saw Nutella so not 100% sure

[@letiacarlson7242]

Island tour definitely

[@letiacarlson7242]

I miss ur Elly van travels hope u guys will be back on the road

[@conniejohnson9393]

Loving your vlogs of the icon. Did you think you were too close at the water show? I do understand about the comfort of the chairs for sure, I wouldn't have lasted on the bench seating.

[@garson51]

So, that crepe - better than the one in Weymouth?😂. Loving the series and hopefully more to come.

[@EECCTravels]

Yes! It’s probably the best crepe I have had!

[@user-js4pf6pr2g]

I loved the Island tour looked great and I really enjoy your content. Have you guys ever consider one of those river boat cruises either in the states or abroad like Viking or something

[@EECCTravels]

Yes! We actually have a series from AmaWaterways from November in Holland & Belgium and are planning a USA river cruise this year.

[@99Moonbeam]

Love island hoping

[@billdurand3773]

You look beautiful Elisa!

[@ryanb2861]

Any plans on going back to hawaii. Would love to see you guys go more indepth on the islands and give big island another shot.

[@EECCTravels]

We definitely do plan on going back! We want to go back to the north shore to watch and film the surf competition on the big waves!

[@jay-_bad]

My home 🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳

[@jucsmiles5922]

Great video. We've been to St. Kitts, but not Nevis. When we go on the Icon later this year, we will defiantly go and check out Nevis. One question, at the aqua show, where you sat, did you two get wet because you were down front?

[@EECCTravels]

The show was great! And no, we didn’t get wet.

[@donovanbullock1785]

I would love to do an Iland tour.

[@cindymcguine5688]

Only issue if you do an excursion thats not thru the cruise ship and something happens and you don’t get back in time that could be an issue. I’m too paranoid.

[@ss_sailaway]

When discussing the history the gigantic part that African slaves had must be mentioned. 📚📚📚 Most, if not all, Caribbean islands had whatever European settler success stories only because the slave labor was free to them after purchasing.⛓⛓⛓ This is especially true with any plantation like Alexander Hamilton would have been very familiar with.

[@letiacarlson7242]

U need to see the ice show

[@EECCTravels]

We did!! It was incredible!

[@Skittl1321]

Isnt the lack of crowds because it is at 80% capacity? What about when its summer vacation with families and its 125%?

[@EECCTravels]

There were still almost 6k passengers onboard!

[@seadayz1883]

Was it hot this time of year? February or was it a different time of year?

[@EECCTravels]

This was shot last month in January and it was much cooler somewhere around in the 80’s as opposed to the summer months which is much much hotter! Winter in the Caribbean is very nice! 👍

[@ThatGirlKia13]

Did you get too meet the KZbinrs ordinary adventures ??

[@EECCTravels]

I don’t think we met them

[@j2170000]

They were right behind you guys at the lime and coconut video lol 😆

[@user-vc8ci3gs5b]

Hi I am india how can I go to st.kitts

[@clairebass5843]

I would love to go to some of the Caribbean Islands to learn more about slavery. I am wondering if history gets brushed over, or is the brutality also taught?

[@clairebass5843]

I suppose it changes from island to island.

[@sscott6122]

Love the hat you are wearing. Where did you get it?

[@EECCTravels]

I found it in a shop in Animal Kingdom in Disney World.

[@willg7882]

👍!

[@howardosden3112]

We've been to St. Kitts, but not Nevis.

[@vickigilligan8159]

alisa LOVE the oversized sunglasses. I have been lookin everywhere for really large framed sunglasses. What are those?

[@EECCTravels]

I found those on Temu 👍

[@aimeerogers4542]

Before booking with a third party company, people with mobility issues need to know if they have to go outside the port to pick up the tour and where they will be dropped off when it's over.

[@johnthyen5599]

You lose an hour on the ferry boat that is something to think about

[@EECCTravels]

That is true but it was a nice day.

[@eleanor4482]

We normally drive over to Reggae Beach Bar. Don’t know if you saw all the monkeys in diapers at the port.

[@Mic22795]

Amazing….um…with all the slaves?!?!?

[@etwpg]

Ugliest ship I’ve ever seen.

[@EECCTravels]

Really? I quite liked it.

[@arnaldocerra7218]

Agreed, absolutely hideous ship and the AQUA show looked like a cheap copy of “O” in Las Vegas but I guess some people are easily impressed. St. Kitts & Nevis might be beautiful but it was very boring. At times it seemed they were struggling to make it interesting…

[@stephencc2126]

U guys is a joke

[@ulysseswynnjr9207]

You Two 2️⃣ are like 👍 (L.O.V.E.R.S.!) … And … I just love that! … Keep up 🆙 with the good 😊 work. ~ I can’t wait until I’m vacationing on this RCI Cruise 🚢 Ship 🛳️ Enjoy. Stay Healthy. Safe and Sound Travels. God bless you both. 🇺🇸😋🇺🇸😋
