I would have to say St. Croix. I booked the 2/28/09 sailing. This is the only Eastern I am willing to take as it is the only one that does not have U.S customs at St. Thomas. I know that sounds petty but the last thing I want to do in the middle of my vacation is wake up early in the morning to go through customs at a port were I have no intentions of leaving the ship.

Really? Just to make sure I'm understanding (as it sounds so odd) Even if you are not planning on going in to port (just want to stay on the ship), you still have to get off the ship and go through customs? And then get back on? Is St. Thomas the only port that requires that?
Customs comes onto the ship. EVERYONE must get in line to be checked by customs in the Walt Disney theater. You will be given a time to go based on your dinner seating.
I believe everyone must go through before anyone is let off the ship.
This happens in St Thomas only. The reason is that the ship stops at a "foreign port" (St Maarten) prior to arriving at St Thomas (A US port).
