Set sail on Valentine's Day from the port of Ft. Lauderdale. Whether you are a romantic or not, you'll enjoy Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos: an unspoilt island that is known as one of the top five diving destinations in the Caribbean.
Next, you'll be able to explore the city of old San Juan or the 28,000 acre Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico. In St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, you'll find some of the best duty-free shopping in the Caribbean as well as beautiful Megans Bay. Another option: a side-trip to unspoilt St. John.
Finally, hit the beach, swim with the stingrays or ride through the surf during a glorious day on the award-winning Holland America Line private island of Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas before you return to Ft. Lauderdale.
