Southern Explorer

[CKG1007]

We are going on a Southern Explorer cruise in October for our honeymoon. The stops are San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Grenada, Aruba, and Bonaire. I was wondering if anyone knows what the weather is like in these places in October and if there are any good places to go scuba diving. We did the discover scuba diving in St. Thomas last month and are looking at doing the same type of thing on this cruise. Also, does anyone know any other good excursions for these stops, or any excursions to avoid?

St. Thomas, we normally go to St. John and Trunk Bay for snorkeling. We haven't scuba dived there, but the snorkeling is great. There are also some great snorkel/dive spots off of Buck Island in St. Thomas. In Grenada, take a catamaran or dive boat to Flamingo Bay. When we were there last October it was beautiful, great fish and clear water. We took the Mushi Mushi catamaran in Bonaire, it was for snorkeling, but it was a great tour. The dive spot in Aruba always seems to be a sunken tug, it's an ok dive. Haven't been diving in San Juan or St. Kitts. The weather in October is wonderful (unless there's a storm), we normally book then for my hubby's birthday. This year we're going a little later and enjoying Thanksgiving on board as well. Congratulations on your weddding. Have a wonderful honeymoon!!
