"My 12-year-old daughter, wife, and I volunteered at a recycling center on Antigua. Our driver gave us a tour of the island, including treats from a locals-only bakery in town.

At the center, which supports several families, we sorted materials amongst locals and learned about the science of recycling. The experience allowed us to connect with locals in a way very few tourists do.

Our daughter learned about life in the islands in a secure setting and has been inspired to study environmental science. A few days of serving in the beauty of the islands and the luxury of the ship made the experience extremely rewarding."
