I heard so many things about St. Lucia, St. Thomas, and St. Maartin. I was wondering whats everyone's opinion on them. Also, should I choose E. Caribbean or S. Caribbean? What is the difference between the two. Which is the best? Thanks in advance.

Have been to W & E Caribbean. Scheduled on cruise leaving Sunday. In Jan took adult kids on Navigator of the Seas out of Miami. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and really like the Eastern Caribbean best. Clean and warm. The thing you need to consider is that to take a southern Caribbean cruise they start in San Juan, more expensive just due to the fact you need airfare to San Juan. If you decide Eastern Caribbean, St. Thomas is awesome and get on the Doubloon snorkeling pirate ship. The gang there is awesome and take the time to show you things at Turtle Island. We even fished on the way back to the bay. We are schuled on the Adventurer of the Seas in Feb 2004 and believe you me I will be back on the Doubloon when we get to St. Thomas. Hope this helped!
