My wife and I would like to take a cruise and learn in the caribbean this

while the actuall sailing seems to be slightly cheaper in Grenada but
airfairs are more. What is the post-hurricane situation like? I also
envision BVI being more crowded.

=====================================

If you have never been to either place, I'd start with the BVI.
Crowding is not really an issue although it is deservedly a very
popular place to sail. There is a great deal of variety between the
various islands, locals are very friendly, services are good and the
scenery is magnificent. Grenada got whacked very badly by hurricane
Ivan and is still cleaning up:
