mrb1963 Posted November 10, 2014 #51 Share Posted November 10, 2014 For me it would be St. Maarten with a very slight edge to runner up Barbados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXIpoo Posted November 10, 2014 #52 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Definitely Curaçao. Being there while the sun was setting was breathtaking. I'm pretty sure that's where I'm going for my honeymoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severus Posted November 10, 2014 #56 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Grand Turk. Perfect relaxed beach day.We did love Aruba and Curacao tho. Agreed, Grand Turk is the best. Beach at walking distance, relaxing and just plain beautifull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndilouwho Posted November 10, 2014 #57 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Without a doubt St. Lucia, the Pitons are amazing and the entire island is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted November 10, 2014 #58 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) We like these two a lot St. Kitts & St. Lucia. We didn’t like these very much. Freeport, Costa Maya & Key West. Edited November 10, 2014 by near the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSRoberts Posted November 10, 2014 #59 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My personal favorite: Portland, ME. Second: Halifax. If I ever make it to Alaska or Northern Europe, I'm sure some of those ports will be high on the list. I'm not much of a beach bum nor do I like hot weather. I've only gone to the caribbean as my friends were going. I wish there were more affordable choices in temperate and cool weather cruising.

taillon Posted November 10, 2014 #61 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Tough question...so far I would say, Grand Cayman. We are cruising in less than two weeks and it will be the first time to Roatan so that might change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellster1 Posted November 11, 2014 #63 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Roatan! It has special meaning to me because it was my mom's favorite port. The people in Roatan are so, SO nice. Just so friendly. The beaches are beautiful, with the water so clear. I feel safe allowing my son to swim all over the place there. Plus, they have this drink called the Monkey La-La. WOW! It's the best frozen drink I've ever had!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellster1 Posted November 12, 2014 #66 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I always go to the same one, Tabyana Beach...on the West End. It's about a 20 minute drive from the pier, but I always stick to this beach for a few reasons: 1) It's a nice sized beach, with plenty on trees for shade, such beautiful trees, too! It never has felt crowded. The sand is always soft and pretty, free of seaweed so I can walk barefoot and be totally comfortable. 2) It's (so far) one of the only beaches I've been to that has clear-bottom kayaks, which my son loves. 3) They have a super fun waterside, trampoline, obstacle court that not only my little boy loves, but I love as well! It's so fun to race down the slide and fall into the water...and again, I feel safe to do so. 4) The water goes on far awhile until it gets too deep, so I'm comfortable when I snorkel with the little guy. The facilities are nice, the people are nice, and I feel the drinks are well-priced. I've always gone to this beach through the ship excursion, and it includes a nice lunch. It seems ridiculous to pay money for a "beach break" excursion, when all you have to do is walk off the ship, and you're at a really beautiful beach, right?? (not to mention the 20 minute bus ride)...But it's so worth it me me! Lastly, on a personal level this beach brings back wonderful memories I have of my mom. It was her absolute favorite, even up against St. Marteen, St. Lucia, and even Tortola. Tabyana Beach is just so special. I think Roatan is a very, very special place. I cannot wait to go back!!!
