What are your favorite RCI Caribbean destinations?

[jsausley]

My wife and I are looking into next year's cruising itineraries and we're trying to decide where to go next. I thought it would be a fun way to poll the users here and get some insight from you guys who have been to many locations.

 

What are your favorite ports of call and why do you like them?

 

(Note: I was limited to 14 options on the poll, so I had to leave a few out -- sorry!)

ABC islands:)

Grand Cayman is a must! It's a gorgeous place...easy to walk off into the port and city. Stingray City is an obvious visit while there. We privately booked Captain Marvin's for that excursion. So inexpensive and very professional. Located just outside the port.

 

St. Lucia was a lot of fun....going to see the Petons there! We privately booked a full island tour and it was probably one of the best tours we've done thus far.

 

I love Western Caribbean and Southern Caribbean itineraries the best.

You'll get tons of different answers, especially since the previous poster thinks Grand Cayman is a must and I would never get off the ship again there. Which shows we are all different 😉

I loved Bermuda and the NE/Canada itinerary.

Agreed! But that's why a poll could be interesting -- to see the distribution of votes.

 

Personally, we loved Cozumel and Grand Cayman for the scuba diving. Culturally, these weren't our favorites though. St. Maarten and St. Thomas were both amazing, and we absolutely loved San Juan -- we're really looking into doing either the Roatan/Belize set or the ABC Islands next. Personally, neither my wife nor I cared for Labadee or the Bahamas.

We are right there with you. Love the diving! :)

We are beach people and love Labadee- We also love the ABCs- Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

 

Enjoy your cruise- no bad choices!

We had one of our best beach days ever on Tortola--also like Bonaire (snorkeling) and Turks and Caicos.

[OCruisers]

Especially always enjoy having a port stop in St. Maarten! :D

We've been to Roatan twice. Great snorkeling. Belize has a nice rainforest and cave tubing. Try them

[debshomespun]

Of the Islands listed, Aruba is my favorite. I love all the ABC Islands! :D.

[Fouremco]

ABCs and St. Lucia. Too bad that more itineraries don't include Bonaire, but we manage to find one most years. :)

[Virtopia]

ABC islands:)

 

I've only been to A and C so far, but hoping to visit B soon!

 

But yes, Curacao and Aruba were amazing! Looking forward to going back to both next year.

I voted for St. Thomas as it provides the opportunity to ferry over to lovely St. John, USVI ;). Loved Aruba and Curacao, but my favorite is the BVIs (Virgin Gorda, Tortola) where I've also vacationed on land. Enjoy your cruise!

[jagsfan]

St Thomas/St John because they're not flat. They're beautiful, to me, at least. Back when I still shopped, St Thomas had so much to offer.

Also Dominica and Tortola. Dominica reminds me of Maui.

[CCRUZER]

I voted for Curacao but my all time favorite is still Bermuda!

[riclop]

We love St Maarten.

[Sky616]

I voted for St. Croix. We were there for the first time in April and loved it. It's very laid back. True there may not be as much to do here but we really liked that about the island. We rented a car and circled the island. Also voted for St. Maarten and Barbados. Yea I cheated and voted for more than one but we like most of these islands some more than others.
