It is so hard to choose! I loved the Lands End boat tour in Cabo San Lucas. I did that twice on two seperate cruises. And the Stingray City excursion in Grand Cayman Island.

My favourite port was Juneau Alaska, we went on a helecopter and landed on a glacier, it was an experience I will never forget. In the afternoon at Juneau we went on a wildlife tour and saw humpback whales and Orca whales one actually swam under our boat an experience to remember to say the least. I will never forget Alaska as long as I live and hope to go back soon.

We like St.Maarten. The port is beautiful, shopping is varied and Orient Beach is a beautiful beach. The people are friendly and language differences (french,dutch & english) is not a problem so venturing out on your own is easy and safe.

Abby - which part of Orient Beach did you go to? - the nude part, clothing optional part or the "fully clothed" part? Yes the beach is lovely but the couple of times we were there the wind was so strong and there was an undercurrent so we couldn't go in the water.
Daley - now that must have been a thrill!!!!!

Kas, we were at the clothing optional section of the beach and actually had our 2 kids with us. It poured rain the entire time we were there but we went to swim so a little extra water was okay. The weather also assured that the kids didn't see anything we didn't want them to see.
