mems Posted September 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I got an e-mail today from my cousin who is on Brilliance. She was looking forward to their visit to Santorini. It brought back such fond memories of that part of the world. I was trying to decide which of our stops was my favorite. Soooo as I wonder I'll ask you. What was your all time favorite Port of Call and why??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natesfirewife Posted September 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I would have to say Juneau, Alaska because we had such an awesome time on the Helicopter tour out to the Glacier to do Ice Trekking. The weather was perfect (80 degrees) and everyone was wonderful. Not to mention the landscape was beautiful. We can't wait to go back next August with the CC Group Cruise on the Serenade. If we are talking a little further south then I would have to say Puerto Vallarta, we have always loved going there and being surronded by the jungle. We do land vacations there south of town and it's hard to go there on a ship for one day, it's just not enough for us. We are trying the W. Caribbean this Christmas so my opinions could change, but definitely Alaska!! Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bribrittmom Posted September 6, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I too would have to say Juneau,Alaska because of the natural beauty and the awesome helicopter glacier landing. Definitely nothing like it in Ohio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulaW Posted September 6, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Alaska is pretty amazing, but I still have to say Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The scenery and atmosphere is breathtaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted September 6, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I really enjoyed Aruba. Very Friendly Islanders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mems Posted September 6, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Wow, maybe we should re-think Alaska. We've always put Alaska on the bottom of our list of places to see. I think it's a climate thing. Here in Michigan when we start looking forward to some warm temps and sunny skies after the bitter cold and snow the last thing we want to do is head further north.

Rare drpclarke Posted September 6, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Any of the Italian ports were just glorious....but the one that always brings tears to my eyes thinking about it is the Amalfi Coast (Positano) Rachel Fantasy 12/00 Imagination 6/01 Splendour 6/03 Sovereign 12/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamwnfa Posted September 6, 2004 #12 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Wow, tough question with so many beautiful places. One of the most beautiful was Bay of Islands on the north island of New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyceyw Posted September 6, 2004 #13 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I have to vote for Ochos Rios, Jamiaca. We loved the climbing the falls. We also took a taxi all over the island. We saw parts of the island that most cruises would never venture out to see. We met a lot of really nice locals. It is such a beautiful island.

BEVEROO Posted September 6, 2004 #15 Share Posted September 6, 2004 My vote goes to Labadee! It is just so relaxing there laying under the bread fruit trees and splashing about in the water! Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted September 6, 2004 #16 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Aruba in the Caribbean: lots to do, easy to rent a car, great snorkeling from shore. Hawaii: Hilo. Loved the Volcano National park followed by drive to the Mauna Loa nut factory. Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedoc Posted September 6, 2004 #17 Share Posted September 6, 2004 St. Kitts. Found a wonderful uncrowded beach with a beautiful view of mountains and jungle. To top it all off -cold Caribe beers and Pina Coladas for a dollar. Paradise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted September 6, 2004 #21 Share Posted September 6, 2004 St Kitts has my vote because we did not expect alot- but found the island to be one of our favorites because of the people & beauty of their island. I can't wait till I have the chance to go back again !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitaBcruising Posted September 7, 2004 #23 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Mcboo, Where is Bequia? I didn't know either, so had to look! It is in the Grenadines, just south of St. Vincent. Sounds lovely! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted September 7, 2004 #24 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I loved St. Lucia, but our best time was in Mahahual. I've said it a dozen times before, but it was still our perfect "Corona commercial". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyVette Posted September 7, 2004 #25 Share Posted September 7, 2004 As of right now I have to say that Bermuda was my favorite. It was great being docked in Bermuda for a few days so DH/I were able to see/do a lot of things. Granted we didn't see the entire island but it's a place that I would go back to!
