I'm going to do both of these ports of call in this post, because we did the same thing in both: a snorkel/beach tour.
The US Virgin Islands are a common stop on an Eastern Caribbean cruise itinerary. When we arrived they still had their Christmas decorations up (as did the ship, but they gradually undecorated during the cruise).

I've probably mentioned it before elsewhere, but my favourite thing in the world is to be face down in the water, looking at the fish. I especially love this in the Caribbean, because the water is so warm.

After the snorkelling, a beach stop was next. This was a nice tour, although I confess my favourite snorkelling tour continues to have been the Lord Sheffield in St Maarten (great tour that was: they handed us a beer before we ever got on the boat, and didn't care how we climbed all over it). That was on a sailing ship, and felt a bit more historical. And the crew were great. Don't get me wrong; I've never met a crew that wasn't absolutely fantastic.
The next day, we did it all over again in St Kitts.

One thing that disappointed me about this day was the lack of fish. But the beach part in Nevis was nice, and there was a dog (I always miss pets when on vacation).
