Why Cruise Passengers Use This St. Lucia Schedule
- ✓Castries is the cruise call — the 2028 table sizes Pitons and Soufrière day trips against published arrivals, not beach-resort marketing names.

- ✓Marigot Bay sails batch around morning gangway times; 2028 overlap helps you book early seats.
- ✓Eastern and Southern Caribbean loops often include St. Lucia with Antigua or Barbados — comparing 2028 volumes prevents overcommitted days.
