elou Posted January 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Need help deciding on a ship iin September. Actually, I am asking which island has more to do with sightseeing. Do not want any water sports at all. From what I read, it seems nearly everything is water-related. Anything worth seeing on these islands? Thanks.

truecruiser Posted January 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i was in grand turk twice. i loved it, but there was nothing to see really. but i like the beach and sun. roatan is coming for us in 2009. looks like there is a lot to do there. check out the excursions on CCL's site, the ports of call forum and also sites on the web. here's one: http://www.roatanisland.net/roatan.htm ETA: and, another: http://www.roatanonline.com/things_to_do.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted January 23, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Both islands are beach/water destinations. Roatan is mountainous, well hilly anyway:p , and does offer a zip line/canopy tour if that would interest you. Grand Turk is a flat coral island.

iluvindia Posted January 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2008 grand turk is fun, small isle only 6miles long by 1mile or so wide rent a moped there, it is only about $45 for a day, $30 half day gasoline included roatan is unspoilt and undeveloped east of the capital coxen hole, it is very americanized west of town, i don't know if that is better! west bay is nice you can go ziplining there, fun fun fun be very wary if you rent a car from avis on roatan, we did that in november and the car was a pos, upon our return avis in the us refunded us the full cost of the rental i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec2007w3boys Posted January 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We were on the Valor in November and although we loved all the ports, there was something about Roatan that made it our favorite. Maybe the lack the commercialization, the friendlieness of the people, the beauty of the country and the beautiful beaches. We hired a driver through Victor Bodden (who is highly recommended on cruise critic) and we had a wonderul day. Just my opinion!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
