I went on a southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas in July 2007. I left from San Juan, Puerto Rico, then sailed to Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten and St. Thomas.

The way things have always been

Anse La Raye is cute little fishing village in St. Lucia, where they still build their boats by hand.  The colorful and eclectic materials used on their modest homes reminded me Boca in Buenos Aires, only a little more tropical.  The drive through the town is slow-going because the roads are so narrow and they're usually packed with pedestrians.  In the afternoons, they're filled will children in uniforms walking home from school. 

The town is very simple, but inspirational in that it shows people can be happy without being materialistic.  (I did not see even one 52 inch HD plasma television with an accompanying Series 3 Tivo in the entire town. ;-P ... )
