Favorite Port

[In2why]

I keep looking at the ports and wondering if anyone has a favorite......and a least favorite.

 

 

I think the number one excursion I keep hearing about that sounds divine would be cave tubing. Or at least what I picture when I imagine it. We lean more to the peaceful and relaxing type of vacation rather than thrill seeking, hard drinking type. DH is a history buff and ruins look fascinating too. Any suggestions for cruises that leave out of FL?

I've only done eastern and western caribbean cruises. Out of those, my favorites are Roatan and Belize. Least favorites are Freeport followed by Nassau. I'd love to do a southern. I think I'd find some new favorites there.:)

St. Maarten is the best! It's the only port I've been to that I'd want to spend a week at.

Progreso or Coz.

Love that Mexican hospitality:)

[Beachgirl6479]

My favorite port so far has been Puerto Vallarta. The town is very quaint, the people are friendly, the beach is beautiful, and to be able to kick back with a margarita and some truly authentic Mexican food...bliss...

Cave tubing in Belize is a must-do!! One of my all-time favorite excursions.

 

Favorite ports:

 

Roantan

Belize

St. Martin

Bermuda

 

Can honestly say I have found something to enjoy everywhere we have been, so I really can't pick one I don't like.

Of the ports I have visited thus far, St.Marten is by far my favorite port:D. I cant wait to go again. My least fav port is Cozumel and then Nassau. The more I cruise, my fave port may change:confused:.

so far we have had all great cruises. Our favorites have been St Marteen and Nassau...if I had to pick a least favorite I guess it would be Princess Cays...just wasnt that much to do, tendering was difficult but even then not too bad

[cruiserbryce]

Princess cays is only on Princess...nevermind the silly post above:D

[TwinMom7]

For us, it was Costa Maya.

 

Unfortunately, it will be a while....

I would say my favorite is Grand Cayman. Rum Point Beach is the most beautiful spot I think I've ever been to. 2nd, on the west coast Ixtapa and or Cabo.

 

Least Favorite, CARNIVAL WAKE UP!!! ENSENADA WITHOUT A DOUBT.

They need to loose that from their Iteneraries!

 

Happy Cruising~

Favorite: Half Moon Cay - absolutely wonderful beach - they just need to make it so you can rent a clamshell onboard, debark and find chairs, and hand the guy your receipt so you don't waste an hour standing in line!

 

Close behind: Grand Cayman and St John

 

Least: Freeport

 

Two new ports coming up: St Thomas (actually docked in St T but we spent the day in St J, so it doesn't count) and San Juan!

[jbhcw]

my ideal port stop:) :) :) St. Maartin is a close second:)

[tkportersat]

Favorite: Costa Maya or Montego Bay

 

Old Reliable: Cozumel

 

Least Favorite: Definitely Progreso.

 

Doesn't mean I dislike ANY of them, but as far as preferences go...there you have it!:D

For the Caribbean, my favorite so far is Curacao and my least favorite is Nassau. The port I most want to visit is Barbados. For Mexico, my favorite is Cabo; no least favorite. For the Panama Canal cruise (Aruba to Acapulco), my favorite was Costa Rica; no least favorite. I don't have a favorite for Alaska, but next time I want to see Sitka.

[GTVCRUISER]

St. Maartin in the Caribbean and Zihuatanejo in Mexico.

[Patneeds2cruise]

HALF MOON CAY - most beautiful beach I have ever seen.

[linsue1231]

St. Maartin, by far is my favorite and I have to agree It is one port I would spend a week at. As of now St. Thomas is my least favorite...have been there twice and I just dont like it much.

Skip St. Thomas and go to St. Johns again.

St. Thomas has the most beautiful port/bay but the beaches are quite lame view wise.

 

Our fav by far: St. Marteen (Orient Beach is awesome, but watch out for the French danglers)

A surprisingly good stop was Martinique.

It was surprising because everyone was telling us how anti-American they were and how we'd be treated like crap.

Never happened, and the island is beautiful.

 

Costa Maya is another fav. Such nice folks, cheap eats and drinks, and $15 massages on the beach. We had the best day just chillin. We felt horrible for the locals after the 'cane hit them

 

Least fav - Key West. We love Key West, but the cruise lines refuse to stop at the right time to hit KW which would be from like 8:00pm till 2:00am

Instead, they stop there in the morning, so you get to smell the party remnants from the night before, look around for anyplace that might be open, or go down to the lame little strip of beach.

Usually not enough time to entertain the best activity KW has to offer, fishing!

Stopping there from 9-6pm wouldn't hurt.

Next cruise - Legend, Dec 16th

[cruzeluver]

Kevin,

 

Its actually Key West that makes the ships come in early in the day. Its because they do not want ships docked at Mallory Square during the sunset celebration. It is crappy, but there ya go!

[Dubsolute]

My favorite was going over to St. John from St. Thomas during a Southern cruise. I would gladly spend a land vacation there in the future.

[luci]

I would have to say that we just liked the sheer beauty of Sitka, Ak. Cabo San Lucas isn't too bad either.

[kylescoolmom]

My favorites are Antigua and Tortola.
