Help, 1st time to St Thomas

We're going the Carnival Glory (Got a balcony room:). We want to see the
Island but not sure if we shoud take the 3.5 hour excursion tour to Magens Bay
or the 6 hour island excursion tour or rent our own taxi.
Also, what's better on St Maarten, little Divis Island or Everythings Cool
or take a tour somewhere?

Thanks

Sounds interesting. Where would we rent a jeep at St Johns? Did you make
reservations in advance?

Thanks
