Dominica was the most different of all caribbean islands.  VERY VERY green and lush.  Not too much of a beach going island.  The volcano on the island causes most of the sand to be black/ grey.  This port tends to be more of a sightseeing or exploring nature island.  You will find many tour operators at the port who are reliable if you don't want to do a ship sponsored tour.  We did this and saved lots of money.  Be sure to select one of the operators who are in a uniform or is wearing a badge.  We went to the Emerald Pool and Rainforest.  The rainforest is amazing and is a true rainforest.  They get over 400 inches of rain a year.  When selecting a tour operator don't cross over the street and select one of the individuals offering to take you around the island.  The earlier you get off the ship the more options you will have.


The shopping in Dominica was also pretty good.
