Send in your Caribbean cruise stories and tips

You've read SmarterTravel.com's coverage of Caribbean cruising—now it's your turn. I'd love to hear stories about your favorite experience while on a Caribbean cruise or your best tips on how to make the most of a Caribbean vacation at sea.

Did you have an adventure of a lifetime while on a shore excursion? Perhaps one island was special to you and prompted you to book another trip there. Do you have a fail-proof strategy for getting great Caribbean cruise deals? Whether you're describing a lesser-known tour operator that can give you a great shore day for less or have a tale about a special onboard moment, I want to hear it.
