If you really like museums, you should check out the Donker-DeGraff
House on Statia. Excellent museum for such a small island.
Anthropology, history, antique furniture, literature, just a really
diverse museum and the curator and staff are very knowledgeable. OTOH,
Statia doesn't allow cruise ships, which will limit your options,
i.e., you'd actually have to get off your cruise ship and stay there.
I recommend Talk of the Town.
Also while on Dominica, go visit (and eat at) Calibishie on the NE
coast. It was beautiful before, but it was the location for last
Pirates of Caribbean. Beautiful, rugged country, but the ocean on the
east coast is way too rough to swim in. However, there is a python
sunning garden if you'd like to visit.
