Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

We went to the private island excursion - very small beach. Wouldn't do it again but would definitely get off at this port. Would go to one of the other beaches next time. Didn't like the Haitian Flea Market --- way too pushy - felt like we were being attacked. Artisan Market was enjoyable.

Don't Miss: the beaches and water

Casa De Campo, Dominican Republic

1 out of 5

We wound up in "Samana", which was horrible. Not safe - there were police at each tourist stop and you were constantly asked for money. Didn't hear one person like this stop.

Pros: The crew was fun and the shows spectacular.

Cons: Did not like Samana, Dominican Republic at all - they need to skip this port
