Aruba - lagunabaybie's Rating: 5+

Aruba is one happy island, as its motto states. The shops are very convenient to get to after docking and taxis aren't hard to find and are not expensive at all. The beaches, mainly Eagle Beach, were fantastic and were so calm. The only thing I warn is to WEAR SUNSCREEN because the sun is so strong and being in the water the whole time makes you forget you're burning. I got burnt very badly and suffered a lot the rest of the cruise.

Curacao - lagunabaybie's Rating: 1.0

Curacao, in my opinion, was a waste of time. We happened to go on a very hot day and found the city EXTREMELY hard to navigate. There are no street signs and no one knows where anything is. We stepped off the ship, took a few pictures, and went back on. Not even worth getting off, really.

Dominica - lagunabaybie's Rating: 5+

If there was one island I wish I could live on, it would be Dominica. We took a tour (Reyno's Tours..A+!) and went to Trafalgar Falls, Sulfur Springs, the Gorge (?), and Champagne Beach, all which were absolutely magnificent and breathtaking. The island is all mountains and the driving is fun to do there. There is so much to see and so much to do that it never gets boring. The best island out of the whole trip! Oh and if you like to snorkel, make sure you check out Champagne Beach. Excellent place to snorkel with tropical fish and awesome coral.

St. Thomas - lagunabaybie's Rating: 4.0

After being so excited about Magen's Bay, I was really let down because in my opinion, it was not one of the best beaches in the world. My family and I went on Air Force One Tours with Papa Bear, who definitely should be used if touring St. Thomas. He not only showed us places with views, but told us about the history and government of the island. The best part was trying all the foods he gave to us, such as mini organic bananas, stinking toe, sour sap, and one other fruit that starts with a j (very melon-y) WHICH WAS AMAZING. All of them were grown right on the island, an added plus. Overall, the tour was the best part, along with maybe an hour on the beach, and you're fine.
