Can you answer Nicole F’s question about Caribbean?:
My boyfriend and I planning to island hop between the Caribbean Islands, starting at Puerto Rico, working our way South, getting back to the center and then heading North again. I have heard of mail boats and some ferries, but, more specifically what is the best (and cheapest) way to get from island to island?

Caribbean Feedback: The ferries are the cheapest, but you won’t get to all the islands that way. To see them all you’ll eventually have to take local planes. Frequently though, the price of airfare goes down as more people book the flights.

Caribbean Feedback: why don’t u take a cruise??? Then you get to see many (not all) the islands, all meals, etc. are paid for, all travel is taken care of, etc. Makes the most sense if you want to visit more than 1.
Caribbean Feedback: Try for the Caribbean airlines.
Caribbean Feedback: Why dont u just go crusing? A ferry is cheaper but certainly u wont get to go to all of those places that u want to and you would have to pay for food drinks etc. On a cruise u wont have to! =)
Good luck.
Caribbean Feedback: Check – they have the BEST deals like 2 for 1 priced Cruises, Flights, plus hotel packages almost anywhere – you cannot find a better deal I guarantee you.
Caribbean Feedback: Taking a cruise would the best way of seeing the islands. It is far cheaper as well since after paying for the cruise you do not have to pay any accommodation nor for meals and you get to see lots of islands for your money. You are not restricted in the amount of luggage you can take one a ship. If you want to bring back 10 suitcases you can but the airlines would restrict you. You will also be dining in fine restaurants on the ship. The only disadvantage for some people is that the alcohol is not free but juice is only at breakfast.
This cruise line takes you from Puerto Rico, St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua, St Kitts and back to San Juan. Depending on when you want to go it is onlyUS $449-$579. Is that not cheap?
