You step off the ship into a warm, briny breeze and the low hum of island life — palm fronds lift and the road leads inland toward limestone walls and ocean vistas. The first stop, Pedro St. James, opens like a chapter: an 18th‑century stone house perched above a sweep of turquoise, where a short interpretive film and shaded garden paths set the scene for the island’s political beginnings.
