Good Advice.
I suggest you schedule this trip through your cruise ship. It may cost
a few dollars more, but you are much less likely to have a problem with
the ship leaving without you if your are late getting bacek. (Or course,
this depends a little on the ships sailing schedule.)
It has been a few years, but when I was last in St Lucia some of the locals
were *VERY* pushy -- trying to sell you everything from bananas to their
services as a guide. If you say NO, you'll probably have to say it several
times. Do NOT say YES unless you understand exactly what you are buying
and how much it will cost.
