Peace2U Posted February 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2011 HI. I am considering a couple of cruises. One goes to St Croix and the other goes to Curacao. The other ports are fairly identical. Which island is better? We don't snorkel, we just like touring islands and nice beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted February 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I would pick Curacao if it were me.. the only time we went to St Croix we were docked a good way from the main shopping/sightseeing area; the island isn't that picturesque and several cruise lines quit going there altogether. Curacao has charming downtown area in Willemstad, lovely beaches, nice restaurants. lots of good info on this board to get suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been to Curacao 3x and I'd happily go back. Have been to St Croix only once, and while I did enjoy the stop, I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable as Curacao. I think Curacao has something to offer for everyone, whether you just want to beach it, want to shop or want some sightseeing with some history thrown in.

sail7seas Posted March 6, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Curacao..... We've been to Curacao about 10 times, the last being in May, 2010 and every time we go, we think it better and better. We were just in St. Croix in December, 2010 and our day there was not nearly as enjoyable for us as Curacao. The ships had stopped calling there for years and are just starting back. St. Croix is building back up their cruise ship tourism and there's still more work needed. JMO...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted March 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Another vote for Curacao. We love, love, love Curacao. It's really unique, friendly and fun to just walk around. We felt safe, we weren't harrassed by vendors and had a spectacular time in Curacao. Great island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted March 13, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2011 St. Croix is my favorite islands. However, I am a HUGE fan of snorkeling, and St. Croix has the best at Buck Island. Curacao is a fun island, with great shopping and a nice atmosphere. You can't really go wrong with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
