clarets Posted April 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Having yet to go on our first p&o cruise ( Baltic, may 2019 ) i am now in the process of planning my wife's 60th which she has decided will be a caribbean cruise jan/feb 2020, my question having looked at quite a few cruises for 14nights and noticed most have 9 ports to stop at is what ports must be seen and which are not as appealing. Thanks in advance for any advice given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blue Sky Posted April 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It is all a case of personal perference I love Antigua St Maarten Bonaire Curaçao Aruba Grenada but could give Dominica and St Vincent a miss but hubby loves these two islands can only suggest research research Google, insta Pinterest the islands and of course Cruise Critic at the end of the day it's a lovely part of the world.

tartanexile81 Posted April 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2018 As has been said it's down to individual preference. Personally I dislike the ones in the Western Caribbean which have been too americanised for my taste. I love a beach with great scenery so prefer the more naturally beautiful islands in the East which sounds like the opposite to Mr Blue Sky. My favourites are Antigua, Tortola and St Lucia which I'd say are the unmissables. I also love Dominica - get up into the mountains, Guadeloupe (Death In Paradise Locations) , St Barth's though not many ships go there, St Kitts and Barbados. My least favourites are Jamaica, Aruba and St Maarten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee-ess Posted April 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Mt ideal 9 island cruise would be (in no particular order of of preference.) Barbados, Grenada, curacao, Bonaire, Antigua, Tortola, St Kitts,St Maarten,St Vincent. St Maarten is only included to visit St Barths and St Vincent is included only to visit Bequia or Mustique, St Vincent for itself I would not include. What would I do ( assuming I could afford all the excursions) Barbados - Car Hire and drive to East Coast for the day, finishing up at the Oistins Fish Fry Grenada - Lobster lunch excursion to Hog Island Curacao - visit Cas Abao beach Bonaire - go Diving Antigua - Circumnavigation Boat trip Tortola - Visit Jost Van Dyke St Kitts - visit Nevis St Maarten - Ferry to St Barths St Vincent - Boat trip to Bequia Edited April 8, 2018 by bee-ess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
