Ft. Lauderdale, FL: Nothing much here other than the docks and the ship yard. Not sure why i said this, but I guess common ground that I've left from one cruise here (the other out of 'Nawlins)
Bahamas: Went to Half Moon Cay. This was pretty boring, didn't do too much as this was the last stop on the cruise. Hung out on the beach, and the water was kind of cold in February. Nassau is pretty good, I've heard.
Cayman Islands: Probably my favorite place in the Carribean. Went once as a stop on a cruise and the other my buddy and his wife move there, so we visited for 7 days. Sting Ray city is a MUST. Been 3 times and always amazing. luckily, my buddies sister-in-law, was a tour operator for a sting ray operation and she took us on a private tour of the island, including sting ray city where we had the place to ourselves. usually, there are 500 people with cruises there. feed them squid, it's a weird feeling. They suck the food up really strong. The whole island is awesome, but pretty expensive. Very British and developed.
Cozumel, Mexico: Did the best snorkling of my life here. Went to a reef and saw amazing fish and other things. Then, went on a 4x4 safari around the area. Pretty cool. Go snorkling here, really cool.
Turks and Caicos: Really boring place, nothing really there. But we did a motorized underwater scooter thing where you hold it in front of you and it propells you through the water. Saw some cool sea-turtles, nurse sharks and other stuff. Really fun. Then went and drank at the Margaretiaville. fun times.
Jamaica: Went to Montego Bay. People always yell at me for saying this, but by far the worst place I've ever been to in the caribbean. The locals did nothing but harrass my fiancee to braid her hair, and we didn't feel overwhelmingly safe, but our excursion was fun. We did an innertube water rafting trip down a dirty river. It was pretty fun, I'll admit.
St. Maarten: This was cool. We did a sailing trip where we raced in '80s race boats that were used in some cup race... there was even a Canadian boat they had racing.. Place was cool, nice scenery.
British Virgin Islands: Really amazing hills and beaches. We just walked off the boat and found a taxi after walking around for a few hours. They took us around the island where we went to a rum place (where we saw a Source sticker, which I found odd... but okay) then to a really nice beach and hung out for the rest of the day.
