Visiting any of the Lesser Antilles or other islands in the Caribbean is always a good time as long as you’re not one of the “ugly American” touristas. They’re each culturally diverse as well as different in climate and topography, so it’s like visiting a totally different country each time in

We've gone on several Caribbean cruises, they're pretty fun, theres lots to do on the floating hotel ships, shows, pools, climbing walls. Think of it as a floating all inclusive (except alcohol) resort. I like getting to see several places during the trip. We've had fun in Dominica, Honduras,

I'd go on the yurp river or canal boats in a flash.  The Delta Queen/Mississippi queen etc would be great too.   Or any private boat/ship.   But no floating disease emporium that looks like the Kona Surf hotel. Just got back from the Christmas boat parade.   In Hawaii Santa comes in a red

In the interest of full disclosure I went on a cruise on my honeymoon, but it was on a now defunct Greek line call “Costa” which was very nice. Understand that this was in 1980 when the average cruise passenger was an old lady of maybe 65-70 years of age and you packed evening wear. The ship
