We did the Eastern Caribbean cruise and the kids are still talking about it two years later. Our best day was on St Maarten - we booked a day trip out on a boat with Captain Bob tours (Soualiga tours I think) We shared our boat with a family of 5 from Texas and there were about 8 boats going out from Capt Bob that day. My two were 9 and 12 at the time.
It was amazing - the kids snorkelled for the first time, swam with turtles, we watched the plane come down over the beach and swam to shore for lunch at a beach BBQ. The tour was a complete loop around both sides of the island and we were back in plenty of time for the ship.
All drinks, lunch, snorkelling gear and a captain for our boat was included - definitely worth considering if you are considering spending on a tour. I think it was about $110 pp

Thank you Claire, the boat trip sounds amazing. I will definitely be writing that one in my planner !
