While we don't mind having a port stop in Dominica, it's not one of our favorites ... lack of beaches.
Everytime we book a catamaran to the "Champagne Reef" it gets cancelled for one reason or another .... Do hope we get to do it on our upcoming cruise in January .... The Champagne Reef is something I've always wanted to do.
Actually, we've not had a bad time just shopping around in town. (Had to ... per above, cancelled excursions ) The town is not big but it's clean ... and the locals have always been friendly and nice.

What did you do when you were there?

We were on Dominica in Dec and took the public transit to Trafalgar Falls which was great. The bus stop is hard to find but was very interesting. The cost was under $20 US for ride and entrance fee to the falls. We really enjoyed it
We were in Dominica in '06 and loved it. It wasn't then (and I hope still isn't) as commercial and "touristy" as some of the islands. We took a private tour with Reyno and got a real feel for the island and hope to go back one day.
