While on the island of St. Lucia we were taken to the Morne Coubaril Historical Park as part of our island tour through the cruise line and I could have easily have spent more time there. When you arrive you are met with a few little souvenir shops that sell locally made items (from booze to coconut candy, various seasonings to chocolates, and more). There is also a little restaurant that serves up a variety of local dishes (try the sour orange juice, it's really good!).

When I was looking at our cruise the main thing that I did not want to do was to book excursions through the cruise line as no they are more expensive than going direct. However since we had an onboard credit that we weren't going to use for anything else there was no reason for us not to use it for this reason as it would save us money from paying out of pocket for the cheaper excursions.
