Martinique is a nice little island. First, let me recommend if I may—Don’t take ANY shore excursions if you don’t have to. They are expensive, and in many cases, you can coordinate your own trip for less. Spend some time surfing the internet, and booking a rental car in advance for the islands that you are going to. For example, the ships shore tour that goes to St. Pierre (the town were the tragic volcanic eruption occurred in 1902, burying the town.) is $60/ person. We rented a car and went there ourselves. We got to tour the town (a French train ride that costs about $7/person), and check out the Depaz rum distillery (for free). The point is, that if there are at least two people in your group. You could rent a car and be on your own, going to some beaches and exploring the island for much cheaper than using the ships excursion. However, be careful of where the car rental place is. We booked through Avis. It was at the airport, a 20-30 minute taxi ride from the pier.
