roe2ship Posted October 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I know there are lots more of Caribbean islands but polls are limited to ten options so I listed the most popular Caribbean destinations. Overall, which is your favorite and why? Thank you to all who participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa_bel Posted October 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2004 In my limited experience of the Caribbean, St-Martin can't be beat. It's got 3 cultures in one place, beautiful beaches, great restaurants and shopping... The only minus is that it's not really "traditionnal Caribbean". I will be discovering 3 more islands with the Dawn so that might change. I have my eyes on Barbados and Dominica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted October 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2004 All of them, but because DH and I have many cruises under our belt, we are perfectly happy to simply stay aboard and not even disembark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geejay Posted October 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I would never have picked St. Thomas until last year when we went on the Winifred for a day sail. Now I can't wait to get back. It was the best day we have ever had in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptData Posted October 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I actually have two Grand Cayman and Aruba. String Ray City and the reef of Grand Cayman and the beaches of Aruba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted October 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2004 None of the above is my favorite... :( My favorite is Curacao with my next favorite Belize. Of those listed in the poll, I'd say that St. Maarten is my favorite followed by Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorito Posted October 11, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Trunk Bay in St Johns is as perfect as I've seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpayne Posted October 11, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2004 St Thomas....we like it so much that we live in a few weeks for a 10 day land vacation! Other than Hawaii this will be our first land (non cruise) vacation to a tropical destination. We love that from one island you can easily get to several others by ferry (St John, Tortola, St Croix, Virgin Gorda). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurmoly Posted October 11, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Have to say St.Thomas. Our son ans his wife live there. They have a great time taking visitors out on their sail boat for weeks at a time..What a life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi_D Posted October 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Cozumel is on my top 10 list.. So much to do, diving, golf, shopping, boating, hobie cat races, diving or swimming with the dolphins and most of all Carlos and Charlies:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger1 Posted October 11, 2004 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'll second Trunk Bay in St.Johns...closest thing to heaven on earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RvrCrzr Posted October 11, 2004 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I vote for DOMINICA. Beautiful, unspoiled island, friendly people, less trampled with tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarian Posted October 11, 2004 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I loved the view of the Pitons sailing down the coast of St. Lucia! Everyone was so friendly and we had so much fun dancing on the catamaran, snorkeling at Anse Cochon, the bougainvillia at the botanical gardens was beautiful, the food delicious, and oh yes, I even enjoyed the hair-raising ride on the bus through the rainforest and banana plantation.

zeroni Posted October 12, 2004 #18 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Martinique, by far, because of its incredible beauty. Second to that is St. John's - the snorkeling/diving is heaven. Since those weren't in the poll, I picked St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyinGA Posted October 12, 2004 #19 Share Posted October 12, 2004 St Thomas is our favorite. Can't wait to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCruiser33 Posted October 12, 2004 #20 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It's hard to pick just one! I love Grand Cayman ... I love St. Thomas for the shopping ... but I'm also looking forward to a future trip to Antigua. (cross your fingers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinelee Posted October 12, 2004 #21 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Dominica, by far the most beautiful island in the Caribbean. And by far the best cabbie.....

Cruise38 Posted October 12, 2004 #22 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I would have to say Aruba and then Tortola. However, I now fit into the mold after some 20 Caribbean Cruises of - if I never see the Caribbean again it will be to soon. There is to much world to see.

Tarheelbelle Posted October 13, 2004 #23 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I loved Curacao for its clean beauty and friendly people, but my favorites are the nature islands of Dominica, St. Kitts and St. Lucia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyCruiser Posted October 14, 2004 #24 Share Posted October 14, 2004 There is nothing as beautiful as the beaches in Barbados. I'll take Trunk Bay on St. John as second. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie55 Posted October 15, 2004 #25 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Definitely St. Thomas. Spent 10 days there for our honeymoon, and will be taking our first Princess cruise next spring to celebrate our 25th anniversary and will be there for a day (with our 2 teenagers!). As my sister just built a home on St. John, I'm sure I'll be back there again soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
