Title: Caribbean destinations?
Post by: Doublelunger on April 12, 2018, 12:16:17 PM: The wife and I are looking at taking a trip somewhere and the Caribbean interested both of us. Who's been? What islands? What did you like/dislike?

Post by: 3boys on April 12, 2018, 12:41:25 PM: Been to most of them. It’s all depends on what you like to do. I love Bonaire and Dominica for diving but there not much else to do. You might consider a cruise from Florida that hits several islands and get the taste of the Carribean. The flights to the islands are expensive.

A full weeks worth of fun & games.
No regrets - we did what they call a free-style cruise.
You eat when and where you want - no table reservations with boring people.
I agree with Stein, I liked them all - wish I could have visited more.

Can always visit St johns or St Thomas.
BVI has more laid back feel. Good luck. Any Caribbean is ok in my book.

Just got from Turks and Caicos. Beautiful quiet beaches. Snorkeling and/or diving NOTHING like Bonaire.

St Thomas and St John are amazing. I would skip St Croix for the USVI.

Cruising in the Caribbean on the new ships is amazingly smooth. Most of the time you can’t even tell you are moving. My wife always got sick on our boat and sometimes even the Wa ferries. She has now done 29 cruises and has only been sick once when we hit a major storm coming back from Alaska.

Post by: sneakyjake on April 13, 2018, 08:26:28 AM: PM me some info on Bonaire. Would like to hear more about it. Or just post it. How’d you get there where did you stay. Activities. We would like to do more trips to the area, it’s just a really big target.

Post by: BD1 on April 13, 2018, 11:49:50 AM: St. Thomas years ago at an all inclusive...it was amazing, but I can't remember where I stayed :o Had cool activities you could do around the island (parasailing, booze cruise, snorkeling etc.) Insanely beautiful.
