CJS2766 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 For me? Ocho Rios has never been the top of my list. We've been there twice and just wasn't my cup of tea! Bahamas is another, but with us going to CocoCay this October, that may change. dmattinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG Cruiser Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Nassau. The first visit was okay. Then I stayed on the ship for the succeeding visits, except when I was with newbie cruisers who needed a “guide” to Atlantis. EDIT: If ever I got off the ship, it was only to get some Conch Fritters by the port. Va4fam, VirtKitty, Kathleen and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8erguy1978 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Add me to the Nassau list! I was looking forward to the flight simulator but believe they are no longer in business. Although, in a weird ironic twist, one reason for a last minute booking on Adventure was because it is sailing out of Nassau.

Ampurp85 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 In all honesty any Caribbean port for me. When I sail in the US, none of the ports are the drawing point; these ports are nothing but pushy vendors and beach stuff. I actually loath beach stuff, even in Chicago I can do beach stuff, not that I would go out of my way to. Pushy vendors are everywhere but some ports like Luxor,anything Greek or European, etc have wonderful excursions. Sharla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielle OG Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 To all those who say Nassau, I highly, highly recommend the Pearl Island excursion. We actually preferred it to Coco Cay. Peal island is a beautiful, tiny private island with a great little beach and very few people. It was our favourite part of the entire cruise My answer to the question is Port Canaveral because I just don't know what to do there. Any Suggestions would be welcome.

Cakemeister Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Definitely the disembarkation port. Any other port is great, including Nassau. One of our favorite cruises was when our itinerary was changed a couple of months before sailing, to a "Nassau Only" cruise. They had to do some work on the Liberty's engines or something. It was one of my favorite cruises because we got a hefty discount! If they offered cruises to nowhere from Galveston, I would be all over that.

smokeybandit Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Antigua - It's a beach port, and for as much as I like cruising, I'm not a "sit on the beach" person Falmouth, Jamaica - Not a bad port, per se, but shore excursions seem to be hours away. We just go get a couple bags of coffee beans and get back on the ship Belize - This one I'd mark with an asterisk, since the last time we were there basically none of the shore excursions were available to our then 5 yr old. We'll be back next year with a 10 yr old, so it'll probably come off the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOasis Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 During the cruise I would have to say Honduras, the last time we didn't even bother getting off the ship because the time before we were nearly robbed in Honduras. My second least favorite port is disembarkation because it means my cruise is over and its back to reality. Even after being on a cruise B2B for 14 days I still hate disembarkation day.

mk-ultra Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Anywhere in Jamaica. I just stay on the ship now and enjoy the extra space and quicker service. Lovely looking place and I've met some awesome people, but holy smokes they've got a serious problem with aggressive touts, even on cruise booked tours. For me, it's not relaxing at all.

Cat mom Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Another vote for Nassau. I have a stop there in October probably won’t get off the ship.
