Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Plenty of shopping (upscale as well as straw markets). Well organized. Did the discover scuba tour, probably wouldn't do it there again. It was not well organized.

Samana, Dominican Republic

We did the horseback tour to the waterfalls (not recommended if you aren't in decent physical shape- there is strenuous hiking up uneven terrain involved). VERY poor place.

Don't Miss: the waterfalls!

Snorkeling was ok, but very crowded.
