Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Walk the pontoon bridge into town, the most picturesque in the Caribbean.
Don't Miss: Walking around Willemstad, beach

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
The Baths at Virgin Gorda are a top destination in the Caribbean. Well worth taking the path to "Devil's Beach", not as hard as guide said, with spectacular scenery.
Don't Miss: The Baths at Virgin Gorda

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
Less developed tourism-wise than the other islands. Beware of longer than 3 hour excursions...they take you to many roadside peddler stands where they beg for money.
Don't Miss: The Pitons, scenery

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
The French side, Marigot is better than Philipsburg. Fort St. Louis is good walking excursion.
Don't Miss: The French side, Marigot, Butterfly Farm, dining on Grand Case at beach side

St. George's, Grenada

5 out of 5
The nutmeg cooperative is well worth seeing, walking around St. George's, and tasting the nutmeg ice cream.
Don't Miss: The nutmeg cooperative processing station

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Four Square Rum Factory is worth seeing, it has spectacular gardens and ambiance.
Don't Miss: One of the rum factories, beach

Oranjestad, Aruba

3 out of 5
Good place to rent a car, they drive on the right side
Don't Miss: Natural Bridge on Atlantic side, the desert side

Pros: Itinerary to 8 Islands in 10 days, quality food, service
