Sail ins on the Emerald?

[canadarocks]

We'll be aboard the Emerald on a B2B next March and I'd like to know which ports are worth getting up very early for? Can anyone tell me if any of the following ports are especially memorable for the Sail In?

 

Aruba, Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica, St Thomas, Fort Lauderdale, Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados, and St Kitts.

 

Thanks in advance! :)

In Aruba, the ship comes to port straight in from the Sea..not too much to see.

 

In St. Lucia, the ship passes the Twin Pitons and some lovely inlets and bays.

Thanks so much, we will make sure we are up to watch the Sail In to St Lucia! :)

Not always...depends on the order of the ports. Coming from Antigua, it does not pass the Pitons.

Sleep in. What you miss on sail ins you can see on sail outs.

We will be coming from Antigua. :(

With some ports it does make a difference, but perhaps not in the Caribbean?

We have done many B2Bs 10 days cruises in the area.

 

Aruba is interesting (arriving or leaving) because of the narrow channel that the ship must navigate.

 

Bonaire is interesting because you get a great view of Klein Bonaire where some of the best snorkeling is.

 

Antigua offers some views and is has a very shallow channel.

 

St Lucia offers in interesting harbour entrance and great views of the airport runway.

 

If you do google earth of each of these ports, in advance, you will see what I mean.
