My wife and I would like to take a cruise and learn in the caribbean
this winter, is there in merits between BVI and Grenada - we are on a
budget and 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.

Grenada was severely damaged by Ivan. I wouldn't expect to have much in
the way of services available as they're just getting back on their feet
right now. I suspect that it will be many years before they're back to
normal. I will also point out that restaurants in Grenada are quite
pricey.

The BVIs are a wonderful place. Yes, you'll find it more crowded, but I
wouldn't look at that as a negative.

Given the current situation in Grenada, I couldn't recommend it at this
time.
