   Barthelemy (several times a day, you can go there and back in a day), Sabu (once a day, only with an overnight stay).

On a cruise ship to each island you will have only one full day, but this is usually enough for small islands.

No one will forbid you to ride public transport.

Cruises are focused on retirees, and not on those who like to travel around more countries, so it’s difficult to visit many countries at a time in one cruise – they rarely last more than 7-8 days, there are days at sea, they can go to different islands of one country (

Prices start at $200 per day per cabin, and following the good American tradition, you will be charged $15-20 “mandatory tips” per person every day.

As for Transport on the islands,especially for tourists, there are taxis near the cruise ship terminal at unimaginably exorbitant expensive prices.

Public transport is available on all decently populated islands.

Public Transport is absent mainly in the British colonies, because there is a very small population.

A trip to the small islands costs from $0.

3 to $2.

Larger islands like Cuba and Hispaniola have intercity buses.
