The signs are still there, they just point to different things. The Trade Winds that once blew British men-of-war safely into English Harbour now fuel one of the world's foremost maritime events, Sailing Week. The expansive, winding coastline that made Antigua difficult for outsiders to navigate is where today's trekkers encounter a tremendous wealth of secluded, powdery soft beaches. The coral reefs, once the bane of marauding enemy ships, now attract snorkelers and scuba divers from all over the world. And the fascinating little island of Barbuda -- once a scavenger's paradise because so many ships wrecked on its reefs -- is now home to one of the region's most significant bird sanctuaries. more

All the signs pointed towards Antigua. The island had warm, steady winds, a complex coastline of safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral reef. It would make a perfect place to hide a fleet. And so in 1784 the legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson sailed to Antigua and established Great Britain's most important Caribbean base. Little did he know that over 200 years later the same unique characteristics that attracted the Royal Navy would transform Antigua and Barbuda in one of the Caribbean's premier tourist destinations. more

The Islands Of The Bahamas is a 100,000-sq-mile archipelago that extends over 500 miles of the clearest water in the world. The 700 islands, including uninhabited cays and large rocks, total an estimated land area of 5,382 sq miles, and register a highest land elevation of 206 ft. Most notable, however, is that each island has it's own diversity that continues beyond geography, carrying through to the heart of The Bahamas, the Bahamian people. Population: somewhere north of 300,000.

St Kitts was a new stop for us. Further south in the Caribbean, it straddles the divide between Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. In fact, half the island has rough Atlantic Ocean-facing beaches and the other side is a calmer Caribbean. With plenty of rainforests and even a volcano(!), the island feels very much like Caribbean-meets-South-Pacific with those gently sloping hills and mountaintops concealed by low-lying clouds. But fear not – there’s plenty of sun and sand to be had. here

There is so much to love about the beautifully balmy Caribbean and we were delighted to return to these gorgeous little islands while on Allure of the Seas. Those terrible hurricanes last fall really did a number on St Thomas and St John in addition to the British Virgin Islands (my beloved Tortola!) and while things are improving substantially it’s still a little rough around the edges.

The drive down the peninsula to Cockleshell beach (that faces the neighboring island of Nevis) was jaw-droppingly beautiful. The road snakes along the edge of the island on the Atlantic side before plunging down towards the Caribbean side, and eventually deposits you on Cockleshell Beach, which true to its name is loaded with tons of soft sand and beautiful seashells.
