A 42 foot catamaran with 6-8 people headed to the another Caribbean island after spending all day on an island. That’s a better place to be.

We did this in Abaco about 4 yrs ago. Unbelievable experience.

I’m literally sitting in an airport after just disembarking the RCL Wonder of the Seas and I can’t figure out how anyone can enjoy that. Everything was crowded, hot tubs full, chairs taken, the food was meh. Stopped in St Maarten, San Juan and CocoCay. CocoCay was our best stop. We rented a cabana and had an attendant taking care of everything for us as far as food and drink goes. San Juan and St Maarten both had multiple ships in town on the same days and it was hard to not feel like your were in a tourist trap snow globe. Made in China, ‘local’ shops everywhere. It was a trip provided by a vendor so it cost us little to nothing but it’s not a vacation I’d pay for. It was my 3rd RCL cruise and I’ve done 1 Carnival and RCL does it way better than Carnival but it’s just not my thing either way.
