Browneyedhunni85 Posted November 26, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I thought this would be fun! What is your favorite port(s) and why? I know its hard to just pick 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browneyedhunni85 Posted November 26, 2007 Author #2 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'll go ahead and post my favorite ports. So far, Cozumel & Costa Maya. I love Mexico and the locals are more inviting than in the Bahamas. The beaches are so pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerdude Posted November 26, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Ours is probably because it was our first. Play Del Carmen. It was such a neat port. We went into Cancun to do a shopping tour which was fine. But afterwords, we went back to the ship, got cleaned up and had a great time at the Senor Frogs there. Got back to the ship around midnight and just seeing this big ole ship all lit up at night was such a wonderful memory. Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grneyedmustang Posted November 26, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2007 So far, it's been Key West, but I haven't stopped at other ports besides Key West and the Bahamas - until my 2nd cruise on December 30th. I've taken land vacations to other countries (Jamaica, Dominican Republic) - but I'll reserve additional comment until I come back from my next cruise. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidimom Posted November 26, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2007 #1 - Half Moon Cay! - Can't beat having your own private beach with food only a short walk away! Love being able to wander down to the far end of the beach where no one else ventures to and enjoying my DH company all alone! #2 - St. Thomas! Love the beaches, views and great shopping so close to the ship! #3 - Key West! Can't beat the quaintness of the town and love all the little shops there. Good food to helps! #4 - Grand Caymans - Love those stingrays and the Tortuga Rum cake is the best! #5- Aruba - What a wonderful island to cruise around in a rental! People there were very nice and the beaches are great! I know you only asked for our favorite, but I have so many favorites, I had to rank them in order!

Pitchblue Posted November 26, 2007 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2007 St. Marteen, Orient Beach specifically! Although we had a surprisingly great day in Martinique! All ports hold the potential, it's the attitude that makes the biggest difference! (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browneyedhunni85 Posted November 26, 2007 Author #15 Share Posted November 26, 2007 You guys have gotten me all excited. We are going to St. Thomas & St. Maarten in March for our 3rd cruise. I hear it is so beautiful. Then in 2009 we get to book our honeymoon cruise and I really would love to do Grand Cayman or HMC. When we were in Cozumel we went to Paradise Beach and had so much fun.

twofromcolumbus Posted November 26, 2007 #16 Share Posted November 26, 2007 So far we have 2 tied as favorites: Aruba and Barbados with Curacao a close third. Next up we will be going to Cabo San Lucas and then we will be going to St Maarten in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyttleone1977 Posted November 26, 2007 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I would have to say mine is Ocho Rios. It has made me want to go back and stay in Jamaica for a whole week! None of the other ports I have been to (Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Limon and Colon) have made me feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieastrosfan Posted November 26, 2007 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Favorite port is/was Costa Maya. Sadly, I think the Costa Maya I knew and loved is gone, so it may not be my favorite anymore. :( I loved the "untouched" feeling of the area, it just felt so rustic and relaxing, and it was gorgeous! Second favorite is Tortola. Just amazingly beautiful. On my short list of places to take a land vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Pilgrim Posted November 26, 2007 #19 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Bonaire was great! Beautiful beaches, awesome snorkeling and nice mellow people who are glad to teach you about the island. Also you have to love a place that has a pink airport!! Barbados was also gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ClevelandRocks- Posted November 26, 2007 #20 Share Posted November 26, 2007 French side of St. Maarten because Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzOhioLady Posted November 26, 2007 #21 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Here'e another vote for, St. Thomas, its my all time favorite. I love to shop there and the local food is the Bomb! Cozumel is a fast runner up! Probably because I can Eat, Drink and be Merry at Carlos & Charlies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted November 26, 2007 #22 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Cozumel in general (Paradise Beach to be specific) It allows me to do exactly what I love and it keeps the boys entertained and happy!! (without costing me my first born child) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
