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

3 out of 5

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.
