125.0. "Bopping around the Caribbean, starting from the east" by PVX::JORGENSEN (Lori) Thu May 11 1989 15:51

    I am planning to go on a Cruise to the Caribbean. like the person
    in note 46, but from the Boston area.  But we want to bop around the
    islands, not go to any one particular location.
    
    Does anyone have experiences or recomendations?

125.2Cunard CountessSHALOT::CREAMERHi, y'all!Thu May 11 1989 16:3418
    The ship refered to in .1 is the Cunard Countess.  It leaves San
    Juan on Saturdays with different itineraries on alternate weeks.
    Unless they've changed recently, on one week the stops were Caracas,
    Grenada, Barbados, Martinique, and St. Thomas.  The next week she
    sails to Tortola, St. Martin, Guadaloupe, St. Lucia, Antigua, and
    St. Thomas.
    
    Having 'cruised' thru both of these itineraries, I personally would
    recommend the former.  It just seemed to be a bit less 'busy' than
    the latter.  (The full day at sea on Sunday made for a relaxing
    start to the week.)
    
    As you may have guessed by the fact that we went back for the other
    week, my wife and I really enjoyed the Countess.

    Hi Lori,
    
    Could you be a bit more specific?
    
    When are you thinking of going?
    How long a cruise are you able to take?
    What age group are you (20's, 30's ... 70's)?
    Are there particular islands you are interested in?
    Have you ever cruised before?
    Limit on the dollars?
    
    Info like the above will be very helpful because the question you
    asked could pretty much be answered by saying, "Any ship that does
    the Caribbean" since most visit several islands.
