Curacao - LoveSt.Thomas's Rating: 4.0
We did the Dolphin Encounter it was cut short due to rain, but it was a small tour, and you met right on the pier, and the entire process was not all that confusing. They give you way to much time at the Dolphin place to shower, change clothes and shop, since everything in the gift shop is overpriced, though we did buy the video and some photos of our experiences.
The mall right outside the cruise pier was nice and had some great cruise recommended shops where we bought some tshirts and what not.
The only downside was the weather.

Aruba - LoveSt.Thomas's Rating: 5.0
We had lots of sunshine and went horseback riding. The ranch was in good shape and the horses were extremely well behaved. The tour guides were really nice and talkative, and it was an hour ride down and back. We rode along the beach, but didn't go into the water, as that was a shame since it was extremely hot that day, I believe it was 90s at least.
We later returned to the pier and used the Cruise lines recommended shops to venture through Aruba and we visited countless jewelry stores, and eventually bought some nice jewelry, and got an amazing price. Tanzanite is a good investment especially right now.
Lots of good shops right off the pier definitely something to check out!

Dominica - LoveSt.Thomas's Rating: 3.0
This island is neutral for me. I'm not sure if I would return or not. Right off the pier is a flea market area which is nice to buy some hand made jewelry and tshirts for good prices.
Our tour consisted of snorkeling, then going to Sulfur Springs, and then to Trafalgar falls. It was an interesting tour though there is not enough time in each place to really enjoy, though overall it was a great tour. Maybe next time I'll go to the beach of swim in the falls.
I thought it was a really under developed country but I'm not sure if that was just me or not.

St. Thomas - LoveSt.Thomas's Rating: 5+
I love visiting St. Thomas. I've been several times and I'm always excited to see it. This time we did a small tour again, this time it was a yacht and snorkeling tour, where we took a dingy out to a yacht, and then we sailed out towards St. Croix, and we all learned how to drive the yacht, and reached a secluded cove, where we snorkeled and saw plenty of turtles and sea life. It was extremely fun, and sailing on the yacht was magnificent. The weather was beautiful that day.
My family except me did the Skyride which gives you an amazing view of the ships in the harbor and what not. We also did some shopping in the shopping area right off the pier. Overall it's a great port and I love visiting here.
