What is your favorite island and why?

Tough choice! I haven't seen them all yet, so I'll go with St. Thomas/St. John. We've been there the most and have always enjoyed ourselves snorkeling, shopping (great buys), touring and just being lazy on a beach.

Grand Cayman! I just fell in love with that island. There is no poverty, Seven Mile Beach is beautiful. And the shopping is good too

I go with Kat - Grand Cayman! Why? besides it's natural beauty, this island is in much beter shape (financially) than her "sisters" down south and it shows!

For shear beauty, Dominica, St. Lucia and Barbados are real pretty islands

I haven't seen them all yet either..............

St. Thomas if it wasn't so crowded now

So I guess St. Marteen or Grand Cayman............

Curacao is by far one of my favorite of the caribbean islands. The crystal blue-ish green water, the tropical fish and white sandy beaches. The people there were amazing and so friendly. I would love to go back someday.

This is tough. We have been to many of the Caribbean islands. But I vote for St Maarten - love their beaches.

I have been to so many. I liked them all for various reasons.

St.Thomas - shopping and beaches
St. John - beaches
St.Martin - shopping , lunch, I had a good tour of the island
St. Croix - I snorkeled here and didn't see much of the island
St. Lucia - The Pitons are beautiful
Barbados - Great island to tour
Martinique - Great tours - Just stay out of town
Trinidad- Steel Drums - Great tours - I liked the Monastary
Dominica - Unspoiled Rain Forest
St.Kitts - had a nice tour of the island also did a snorkel and a helipcopter tour
Guadalope - nice local shopping - NO International Diamonds or Columbian Emeralds
Jamaica - I liked our tour (I know others hate this island)
Curacao - Shopping and great tour
Antigua - Would like to go back. Ship lost an engine so I didn't see much
Costa Rica - Wonderful place
Aruba - great beach
Grand Cayman - Ok but too many ships anymore and I hate tendering
Cozumel - good shopping. I would like to go back and see the beach.
San Juan - Nice tour of old and new SJ. Great pina coladas
Bahamas - good beaches but 1/2 days stops are the pits

Isle of Margarita - bottom of my list - Been there twice and did not get off the ship.
