Best place to honeymoon in the Caribbean?

I am getting married at the end of April and my fiance and I are thinking of taking a honeymoon in the caribbean. We were considering St. Johns. If anyone has been to the caribbean and could provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey..US too! My fiance and I are looking at the possibility of actually getting married and have our honeymoon in the caribbean. I'd love some suggestions aswell. We were thinking of St. Lucia since we had such a great time there last year. I'd love some other suggestions

Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau.

I'll be going to St. John in 11 days and have been going there during the winter on a regular basis for many years. An extremely beautiful and quiet little island. Whether you'd like it depends on what you're looking for. It's like a very small town in a gorgeous setting with a number of very nice open air restaurants, but not much in the way of exciting night life. Very low key. Relatively unspoiled, much nicer than St. Thomas, in my opinion (and much less crime), and still part of the U.S. which is nice. I absolutely love it there. Did you have any particular accomodations in mind?

I don't know much about the rest of the Caribbean as obviously there are many other beautiful islands to be found there. If you have any questions about St. John though, I'll be happy to answer them as best I can.

John,
I'd love to hear where you'd recommend to stay on St. Johns? I've snorkled at St. Johns while on a cruise, but never stayed there. Is there anything else you'd recommend to do while you are staying there besides snorkling?

Why limit yourself to only one location? I recommend a cruise!

I second that. IMO, you CANNOT beat the value of a cruise. My wife and I took a Princess 7-day Eastern Carribean cruise and it was absolutely wonderful. We booked a mini-suite with a balcony. The trip could not have been any better. The Grand Princess stopped in St. Maarten and St. Thomas and Princess Cays. We took an excursion over to Trunk Bay for some wonderful snorkling. We will be going back for our 3 year anniversary this year hopefully. We cannot recommend this enough. In fact, when my brother got married, he and his bride actually sailed on the same ship and had a wonderful experience as well.

I second the cruise option. I went on my first cruise last year. LOVED it! Hassle free, relaxing, tons of things to do and the food was out of this world.. Going again this year.

That wasn't my experience at all. The food was OK on my cruise, I'd use the word "sufficient" to describe it. I know some people love cruise food, and they do work very hard to make it as good as possible, but I've done enough backpacking to recognize the taste and texture of dehydrated - rehydrated food, and they serve a -lot- of it.
