Re: Your Favorite Caribbean Cruising Islands
The French islands are horrible. They all speak French there. So rude. So expensive. Complete waste of time.
I think Haiti and Jamaica are great. Also Cuba and Rep Dominicana. Then also Puerto Rico for the adventurous ones.
Antigua is amazing and so is St. Lucia. Grenada is great too.
Venezuelan coast and islands, especially Margarita are probably the best. The hospitality, the friendliness, the complete security...

Wow, B,
You're certainly challenging some cruisers ideas of safety: Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Have things changed?
Cheers, Rognvald
