The problem with a cruise is we have all been on lots of them. The cheap ones go mostly to Mexico or the Bahamas. We feel like we've done them to death. Most of the ones that go to more interesting islands in the southern Caribbean leave from San Juan and it can be expensive to get a flight there. We did that one time too. We may try that in the fall though. But I hate the threat of dealing with hurricanes. Thanks for that suggestion!
