Thinking about a southern Caribbean cruise for my honeymoon in May. It leaves out of Puerto Rico and I’m thinking we should fly down a couple days early so we can spend some time there. What should we do and see while we’re there so we can say we’ve experienced Puerto Rico? Any great restaurants we need to check out?
Also, the cruise takes us to St Thomas, St Maarten, St Croix, Antigua, and Barbados- any must-see places on any of these islands? Anything to stay away from? Thanks.
My friend lives on St maartin. The dutch side is where people live and they eat on the French side. Fishing is good. Casino is cool. I won about $16000 playing blackjack last time there.
They have a grea nude beach:smiley:
Puerto Rico is also great. People are friendly. Tarpon fishing in sight of the airport is tops.
The diving off St Croix is great, but you should be too tired to do any of that:smiley:
Hunting, fishing, and poker are my sports. Work when necessary.
In Puerto Rico go to the island of Vieques and swim in the Bio-Bay at night…unforgetable…
also in old San Juan have a Mojito at Maria’s…
animal cruelty sucks…unless his lip hurts cause there is a 1/0 Owner Aki hook with a chinaback stuck in it

Well if you’re going to PR a few days early you can rent a car and do the Island counterclockwise from San Juan. Hit- Areciebo Observatory, Aguadilla and Rincon, you can go a Phosporescent Bay, go to the tropical rainforest on the way back, and hit El Fajardo and Marina del Ray on east coast. They have government hotels which used to be inexpensive. Disclosure- I haven’t done that loop in about 8 years; used to go there more frequently then.
Pull supersized marlin lures on the full moon in August,very little meat fishing.
Look at the local girls wearing clothes sooooooo tight. You will see.
Gambeling. A few casinos
The old Fort on the West end of San Juan, neat area.
The National pastime “Cockfighting” legal of course, open bar, A/C, and the waitstaff walk around with FRIED CHICKEN guess those were the loosers of the cockfight.
Every and I mean every building up as high as six stories had jail house window bars on them, so you can imagine of the type of crime that is prevalent there. I was in the Camden/ Carolina area of San Juan (sounds familuar)for a week and had no problems but we had a local watching our back, I am sure the tourist areas would be fairley safe.
I would not go back except as a side trip of the area not a destination, but if you have never seen it I could understand wanting to see it.
