And the Azores... I could live there... I did like both Lisbon and Cadiz, wouldn't mind to go back there. But the Azores.. We stayed for one week in Ponta Delgada in 2017. The town it self isn't something that I need to go back to, ever. The nature outside Ponta Delgada is FANTASTIC. But it's small Islands that's faraway from everything and I wouldn't want to live there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, in the Caribbean, its Bonaire, Dominica and Tortola. Elsewhere, I could never get tired of the Greek Islands and Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwsmcernst Posted July 25, 2019 #54 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I absolutely love St. Maarten, Aruba, and Curacao. Part of the reason we doing the B2B in Oct. We prefer the Dutch side of St. Maarten. Aruba has amazing beaches. Curacao, the town and the architecture just makes me happy. I also really like sailing from Puerto Rico as well. I am really hoping the unrest will be over by October. I keep trying to visit the forts, and each time (5 times to be exact) something has happened that we never made it. It is becoming a joke now with my DH. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 25, 2019 #55 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There is not a port I have disliked enough to think I am never going back or would stay on the ship for. Yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted July 25, 2019 #56 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, Whatever (for Edinburgh), Barcelona, Gibraltar, Dubrovnik, Venice & just about all of the rest of Italy, Kotor, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney . . . . Actually, I think my list is going to be really long. Might just be easier to say almost every port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a chance to listen to Sophia Loren talk a couple of years ago and asked her what her favorite food was , she said I am from Naples so it’s pizza. We love Naples too, and it does have the best pizza in the world. We stayed in Naples for four nights once and really enjoyed it although we were careful where we went to eat at night. We also stopped there twice on a cruuse and spent one of those days just wandering around the old town, fortified by pizza at Da Michele naturally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nature, yes, and the fact that the temperature is never less that 14 C, nor higher than 26 C … that appeals to someone with very fair skin!

marco Posted July 26, 2019 #73 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Actually, I think it' because we all DON"T. We were recently on a tour in Europe while a lot of countries were experiencing a severe heat wave a folks in our group were constantly asking "how much is that in Fahrenheit?" But I digress, as this has nothing to do with the title of this thread, "which countries do you enjoy returning to" Edited July 26, 2019 by marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted July 26, 2019 #74 Share Posted July 26, 2019 If you are satisfied with an estimate that's close, double centigrade and add 30. Most here can likely do that in their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they don't go wandering off on their own when in ports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
