  1. There’s a BBC series called “Death in Paradise” filmed on Guadeloupe. Repetitive scripts and terrible acting but millions of us watch it for the Caribbean scenery. Got to admit I’ve investigated a trip. You fly to Paris and then it’s direct to Guadeloupe for not many Euros at all!

  2. Some beautiful places, full of travel envy with all these photos. The Caribbean has always been a luxury destination to me, quite exclusive and a bit past my reach. As the years have gone on I think it’s become more accessible and even though it’s high luxury it’s somewhere many more of us could hope to go. With so many gorgeous islands though I don’t know where exactly I’d aim for. Spoilt for choice!

  3. I actually have a fear of small boats and get seasick in an enclosed one that’s why I’ve avoided cruises. But I do get dragged into such trips and I have fun, except I need to quell my fear or just divert my attention and do something else. It looks to me that the Caribbean is really meant to be discovered and enjoyed aboard a sea vessel. Those wonderful places and endless blue sea makes me wish I was at the beach right now. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines could be the perfect place for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. Lovely scenery and very private.

  4. Once when I was in Barbados on holiday we hired a catamaran with the skipper for the day. At first the waters were fairly busy with jet-skis but soon we got out to sea and it was beautiful.

    As the skipper poured me a rum and coke, he told me that he often did 2 day charters. Next time we go to the Caribbean I’d like to do a lot longer on a Catamarran.

  5. I’ve done a little catamaran cruising in the Caribbean but no where enough. From an afternoon afloat and a sunset cruise I can definitely argue that a catamaran is the way to explore the Caribbean.
