Prettist and cleanest ports.

[CruisinCandy10]

You all that have traveled alot, what are the nicest ports. DH & I just got off the Celebration on Saturday. Really enjoyed our cruise. Don't care if I ever go back to Nassau again. It was dirty! The water was very pretty. We were there 18 years ago. Didn't do much downtown shopping and can't remember (everything has changed) We remember the beaches being pink from the coral. Didn't find that this time. Was told the Western Carribean is better. Didn't like Coz. beaches. Not pretty sand or water. So may be USVI and St. Thomas/ St. JOhn.

Thanks for your opinions, Candy

You should have gone here while in Nassau.

 

 

Seek and ye shall find.

 

To me, the prettiest ports have been Bermuda, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas/St. John, and Kauai.

[MrLee]

I have to agree with Grand Cayman. As far as the port itself goes, St Thomas is beautiful. Flowers all over and, although it's really a strip mall, the area just outside is beautifully done.

What beach is that? We plan on doing the self walking tour in Nassau but not sure what we'll do afterwards.

thanks

The carnival miracle cruise. All but Belize. Very clean ports. All the ports were great for scuba on that ship

Some of my favorites:

 

St Lucia

Grand Cayman

Curacuo (can't even spell it:eek: )

San Juan

St. Thomas

Guadeloupe

 

to name a few, keeping in mind because we had so much fun in these places it puts them high on the list.

 

We'll continue to explore and add more to the list!

Bermuda!

[LHP]

Oddly enough, I don't look so much at the "neatness" of the port. I prefer safety. I have no problem with a "natural" port that reflects the surrounding country.

[sgriff17]

I kind of agree with the last poster...but....

 

St Thomas

Cabo

[ondeckatsea]

St. Georges, Bermuda.....Nawilliwilli, Kauai.....Lahaina, Maui......Kona, Hawaii.....Vancouver, BC......Cruz Bay, St. John USVI.....Basseterre, St. Kitts

[Hollyspop]

St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Costa Mayo and of course Vancouver B.C. These are a few of my favorites. And then there are all the ports in Alaska that take your breath away!!!!:) :)

Nassau, is very over rated in my opinion. It has nothing special to offer.

I have to agree with you on this one. Last year I went on a trip with my old job and stayed at Atlantis on Nassau Island. Everything there is jacked up and you can't trust anyone. Be aware of phone calls showing up on your phone bill! Make sure you book everything with a credit card so you can dispute charges later because it happened to a lot of my old co-workers. As for the area I stayed in, it was gorgeous but the drive from the airport to the hotel was not well maintained. Then again, it is an Island!! Hmmm....

Roatan!! Simply breathtaking! Gorgeous beaches, crystal-clear water, very friendly locals...I'd go back in a heartbeat.

 

Cozumel and Bermuda are also high up on the list.

 

Personally I like Nassau. Been there twice and really enjoyed both visits.

[Philly Steve]

We've been to over 2-dozen caribbean destinations and, for us, Grand Cayman wins, hands down. :) Must be all of those banks!

[Lurkyloo]

I thought Cabo San Lucas was breathtaking, and the marina and town were very clean! :)

 

[caribbean dreams]

I find beauty in almost every port, but the top cleanest ports are, Grand Cayman, San Juan, Aruba and the alaska ports.

my top most beautiful ports are St. John USVI, Roatan & Dominica not at the port itself but once you get up in the rainforest, it is stunning.

I am from Alaska so i didn't count its beauty.

[Loves_Dogs]

The cleanest port in my opinion has to be Grand Cayman.

 

The most beautiful ports:

1- Grand Cayman

2- Aruba

3- St Thomas

 

My favrote ports:

1- Barbados (great scuba diving)

2- Aruba

3- St Thomas (more great diving)

 

We did not care for Nassau either. My other least favorite port would have to be Dominica.

[suncoastgirl]

I would have to vote for St. John USVI and Antigua for prettiest. The beaches in Antigua are great not to mention there are 365 of them. One for each day of the year!

[RvrCrzr]

I like nice scenery, nice sand beaches and nice people. Clean is good too.

 

My Favs:

Grand Cayman

Dominica

Kauai

St.Thomas USVI

Princess Cays

Barbados

Cozumel

Key West

Honolulu

Maui

Kona

 

Not my Favs:

Ensenada

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Haiti

Hilo

Curacao

Isla Margarita

[Las Vegas Non Rev]

Another vote for grand caymam. :)

[Verystormy]

Would disagree with all of the above i am afraid - Get out of the caribbean and head for asia and australia. While i know you guys consider it cheap to stay in the caribbean, asia can, because of the difference in economy, prices can work out very good (I can get 14 nights in asia in luxury for less than 7 nights in europe)

Fow the best beaches by a long way, it has to be maldives or seychelles

[CarribbeanTina271]

St. Thomas!!

Aruba!!

X I will have to agree with this whole post. Beautiful reef at Tabayana Beach in Roatan. The place is unforgettable. I loved Nassau too (the reef we snorkeled) and I loved Cozumel (before Wilma). I hope Cozumel is recovering well.

 

Roatan!! Simply breathtaking! Gorgeous beaches, crystal-clear water, very friendly locals...I'd go back in a heartbeat.

 

Cozumel and Bermuda are also high up on the list.

Loved Grand Cayman, Didn't care for Ochos Rios.
