That's the great thing about a cruise you don't have to choose between them. The only one I've been to which I wasn't too impressed with was St Maarten - although the beach is lovely. My own favourites would be Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua and St Thomas.

I find it very difficult to pick one but it would probably be Tortola.  I shall never forget touring the island in an open-sided bus with those fantastic views over Caribbean beaches and the smell of the pines and herbs, magic.

My husband would pick Mayreau. We went there for the first time earlier this year. We'd only been to Catalina Island before and neither of us like that much, but Mayreau is beautiful.

I loved Dominica.  It was completely uncommercialised.

We would find it really difficult to choose one island among so many beautiful ones but we loved Dominica, walking in the rainforest in a downpour to Emerald Falls getting soaked to the skin was unforgettable.  Also loved Mayreau, St. Maartan, Tobago and St. Lucia.

I loved them all but if I had to pick a favourite it would probably be St Lucia because we had such a great day seeing the island and sailing on the catamaran back to the Oceana.

So hard to choose as, contrary to some opinions, they are all different ..Tortola has beautiful views and beaches and friendly people, St. Kitts is neat and tidy, St Maarten sells wonderful jewellery!  Least favourites - Grand Cayman ..rich but dull, Antigua - people pushy and aggressive.  Must agree with others about Bonaire and Dominica, though, least commercialised and most natural - face it, they are all so worth visiting we just have to keep going!!!

St Vincent, Dominica, St Kitts spring to mind as especially memorable

Tortola for the open sided bus trip

Aruba, long beach

Barbados, everyone friendly. Even the taxi drivers aren't pushy, just ask and move on if your answer is no thanks

St Lucia, get up high for excellent viewing. Our guide even blagged us an entry to the Governers house & gardens

And if you want to forsake P & O - Take Disney to Castaway Cay.... bliss. Even an adults only beach, complete with own BBQ

I could start a worst, but some have listed here as best, but that's for another post, yes? Just goes to show how tastes differ

Very difficult to pick --all have their own personality.

But we loved  the isle of Dominica

Off to explore more islands
