I was excited and thrilled to go to the ports on our Eastern Caribbean cruise, but after reading a few articles about crime, I am very worried and not sure about exploring. My travel agent said she felt Bermuda was very safe and her and her husband rented scooters to explore the island.

However I read this article: http://www.bahamasb2b.com/news/story.php?title=violent-crime-rising-against-tourists-in-the-caribbean

And I am not sure anymore. I also read the story of Rebecca Middleton who was killed and sodomized in Bermuda in 1996. She was a canadien tourist. I am so freaked out!!

Our ports are: Bermuda, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and San Juan Puerto Rico. Are these places safe? Which are more worriesome than others? Please help I am worried about my vacation

we are looking to "elope" with my best friend and his brother – only four people – NOT A DESTINATION WEDDING. we want an all inclusive i think… not exactly sure if its worth it. never been to all inclusive. but want to marry on beach – no passport required a must as we are looking to go in june. i want a beautiful hotel that is has great service – friendly more than fancy – because i think that makes such a difference. i would love to hear any bride or groom to give me any feedback good or bad – please help… – i find it hard to look for our unique situation and the resorts i was recommended to in st. thomas have horrible reviews. He loves to fish and golf – we are not looking for the cheapest deal necessarily but would love someone to tell me a place they loved and why – preferably in the us virgin islands. st thomas, st johns, st croix– (also if you know of one in florida, or hawaii not ruling them out…) Help:)

My brother, his wife, our cousin, myself and hubby took a cruise this year, went to St. Thomas, St. Croix and Barbados. We fell in love with the water. Our family wants to do it again next year. We did not care for doing the cruise, we always seemed to be rushing to get back to the ship. We went on snorkeling trips, zip lines etc. Especially want to do snorkeling again. We are thinking of maybe renting a house on one of the islands or do an all inclusive. We love water toys, so any suggestions of which island to stay at and where. We are in our 50′s and do not want to be around a bunch of kids. We did see a houseboat that sleeps six online. Looks like we could rent that for our trip. Any ideas or experiences that you could share would be great.

I am planning a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands. I will be traveling alone and this is my first trip there. There are so many choices! Advice from someone who has traveled there (St. Thomas, St. Croix, etc.) would be nice. I want to shop, eat, relax on the beach…… So if you know where the best beaches and great places to stay are, please share. Thanks.

St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Ports of Call – Cruise Option #2:

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
St. John’s, Antigua
Castries, St. Lucia

Also – will the weather be warm enough for water fun in January? Any other input or suggestions are welcome. We’d like to do a mix of water activities/sightseeing/shopping (me) and relaxing (hubby). Thanks!
