[twit]

Out of the ones listed what is your favorite carribean destination?

[Toto2Kansas]

Aruba, no question about that. Best island we have ever visited.

[Nicecara]

Opps....you forgot my favorite...St. Maarten :)

[apex]

I like convenience. I am not the site seeing type. Therefore I choose Isla Margarita. Beach within walking distance and nice little stands to buy small souvenirs.

[LARGIN]

Aruba

[Druke I]

Not wild about the Caribbean, but of those listed - ARUBA.

[cruzbabe]

I haven't done Arube but based on the votes, I need to check it out.

[Aquarian]

I loved St. Lucia.

[hcs81m]

I voted for St. Thomas. In actuality I think it is a close second to Antigua.

I am amazed at how many people I know love Aruba. I spent 5 days there last year and found it to be just OK. It is very Americanized, the water is just OK, the beach was nice enough but nothing spectacular. We stayed in a nice resort (Hyatt) but once again, the pool was just OK. There are so many other places that have spectacular beaches, spectacular water, and spectacular resorts.

 

I don't get it.

For me, the best Carribean destination us the ship

[Mbouck1]

I persoanally liked Aruba out of all we have been on. We spent a week there for our 25th anniversay and it was the first carribean island we have been on. I think my wife would have to say St. Maarten also because she always gets the best price on jewelry there. :eek:

We like them all for different reasons. They all have their own special charm. One of my favorites, tho...(since you asked-:p ) is Granada. The scent of that island is one that I will never forget! The fragrance of nutmeg, cinnamon and chocolate is intoxicating! We like island that are NOT Americanized!

 

I wish I was on one of the islands now..............:rolleyes:

[OrangeAndBlue]

I loved Aruba but I also loved Curacao, which isn't on the list.

 

Definately want to get to some of the other islands, too. I am thinking about a 1 week stay at a resort in St. Lucia...

THE SHIP !! always.........

[Northender]

Like another poster you did not list St. Maartin also my favorite.)

I voted for St. Thomas because I love St. John and go there for the day.

 

Aside from doing to poll, I just enjoy the cruise:)

When we were on our cruise Jan 2004, we rented a car on our own and made our way around St. Lucia. We found way up in the hills (with the help of a ver nice island worker) the most awesome resort. Ladera Resort. We only ate lunch there, but took brochures. I'll try and dig out my information. It overlooked the Caribbean, you could see the Pitons, and rooms had their own individual oasis or pools. It was all open air...no windows. Netting around beds, etc. VERY cool!!! :)

 

It is: http://www.ladera.com

I liked St. Lucia for the tropics, and St Thomas and St Maartens for the shopping. :) Will be going to Grenada for the first time in Jan 2006. Cannot wait to see all the spices!

[CruiseFever]

...another vote for St Maarten

[Hav2cruise]

ST Maarten here

I also voted for Aruba... I love the dry weather, the people and the small town feel... But, you are right, the other things that you listed are comparable to other islands listed.

St. John's was the best quiet beaches and the best snorkeling around I can't wait to go back.

Tortola, BVI

[cruzzers]

We especially loved Antigua. Took a private tour with "Lawrence of Antigua" and saw the whole island in all it's beauty and spent the rest of the day at a beautiful beach.
