Favorite Caribbean Port

[SweetPea0517]

Tell me what is your favorite Caribbean port & why?

[nurseamanda]

St Maarten. Beautiful scenery, great food, friendly folks, and it's like getting two cultures in one!

[Jenhem31]

Tie between St. Maarten and Grand Turk. I find both breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.

[Cruisegirl6]

St. Maarten for a bit of everything (land tours, water sports, beach, food)

Grand Turk for beach and complimentary chaise/chairs and pool at margarhitaville

Grand Cayman for shopping, beach and water sports, my most favorite shore excursion ever is stingray city here

Aruba has everything, always a trade wind breeze and never felt hot in July (we take land vacations here) and the best dining/restaurants are here, water sports are excellent, the best people, no haggling no venders begging to buy their items or people begging for hair braiding, never found here and totally safe island overall.

Grand Cayman for cleanliness, friendliness and overall feeling of being a very safe place. Also, for some sick and twisted reason I think it's really cool that there are a bunch of live chickens running all over the place in front of their KFC. I know, I may need some counseling.

Bonaire - small and not over run by tourists.

My favorite Caribbean port is not exactly in the Caribbean, It's in BERMUDA. :D:)

I am fascinated with Mayan culture, so my favorite is Progreso, because it is an easy access port to some of the most beautiful Mayan ruins in the Americas.

[LA_CA_GAL]

Loved Cozumel and doing the wild side. Nothing like it, truly unique.

[JawjaFatBoy]

So far, my favorite has been St. Thomas. Love the "mountain in the ocean" feel and just a beautiful place overall.

 

Puerto Rico is probably a close second. Loved the forts, the history and the overall friendly feel. Not to mention excellent food and RUM!:p

I like Curacao because I find some of the sites to be very interesting plus it has nice beaches and a nice town at the port.

St. Barths - beautiful uncrowded island, magnificent beaches, top notch food, and it is uncrowded.

 

and

 

Jost van Dyke - if you haven't been there you have no idea what you are missing.

Notice no one said Jamaica!! I've stopped getting off the ship at all when we dock at any Jamaican port.

[cruzeluver]

Bonaire for being not overly-developed and the best diving/snorkeling.

 

Cartagena, Colombia for amazing culture and history.

[skrufy]

Our favorite is St. Thmas/ St. John. We love the catamaran snorkling at Honeymoon beach off of St. John. The beaches on both St. Thomas and St. John are not to be missed.

[OCruisers]

St. Maarten -- Good variety of things to do! :)

Wow, it has been fun reading everyone's favorite! All of the comments have given me new ideas of places I need to explore yet[emoji7]. I hope they keep coming.

9 years ago we went to Cozumel Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Our favorite BY FAR was Jamaica. I am excited to go again this December

[cruiseapril]

Our favorites are Curacao and Aruba.

 

Curacao has a nice walking city- Willemstad- with lots of beautiful buildings and historic areas. (We like Fort Nassau- above the city- which is also a restaurant.) Curacao also has many cove beaches which have good snorkeling.

 

We like Aruba's Palm Beach- the beach is great. It is a high rise area, but some of the hotels have day passes and that is fun. Aruba is a good place for a tour of the wild areas.

[AnchorsAweigh2011]

My favorite port is Grand Cayman because I enjoy swimming with the stingrays at Stingray City.

[greensnow]

I've never been to any of them yet. My december cruise will be my first time there.

I think I'm most looking forward to St. Lucia.
