Going on a Eastern Carribbean Cruise. First time Anyone with excursion

I LOVE cruises, especially to the Caribbean. Our first was an 11 day cruise from Miami to San Juan. Spent an extra 3 days in San Juan.

I wasn't fond of Nassau, I liked the "not quite as developed" islands better, like Dominique.

It really depends on what type of things you like to do, we're the nature types. If I remember right St. Maarten has a big butterfly farm. Snorkeling is always good - or diving, if you dive.

We also took a dive on a mini submarine - that was awesome.

Oh - and St. Maarten also has a great outdoor market - depending on what day you're there. Good place to pick up gifts!
 
pips&peeps :

When I was 18 my family fly to Antigua. All I can remember is:

TAKE BOTTLED WATER WITH YOU WHEN YOU DOCK!!!! DO NOT DRINK THE WATER, DO NOT BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH THE WATER.

We had to go home early, I lost 20 pounds I didn't need to lose and had diahrrea for 2-3 weeks after we returned. This was in the late 80's, so things may have changed. Better safe than sorry though.

nah 99% of the caribben is using filtered water thats totally safe to drink and if it isnt people will be sure and let you know.
I was in Cancun once and i went to the bar and asked for some drink with ise. then I said "is the ice from filtered water??" the bartender stops, looks at me real serious and say very slowly .."nooooooo senor......es water....from da pool"
then starts crackin up...I thought that was pretty funny.​
 
That is funny Quad. I have been to Mexico and Guatemala and you really do have to be causious in both places. I never got sick but i didn't drink the wate either.
