Kerguelen seems like it would be the coldest to me.

Ile St Paul has hot springs so that would be cool...

But I think I will go with the Cretan one.  Having my own Mediterranean Island cannot be passed up.

Diego Garcia is there, but most of the islands are uninhabited, and it's kinda far away.  It's one of the main places people sailing around the world go to to see an uninhabited tropical island.

Diego Garcia isn't the musician, it's the actor. They're easy to confuse, though.

Ideally, the shipwreck would take place on a deserted luxury resort on some pacific island stocked to the brim with supplies for a few years.

On the cruise ship would be the international eunuch manservant convention and out of utter happenstance, all the miss world candidates would be attending a post-competition conference.

Through utter unfortunate tragedy, none of the crew would survive the incident causing the wreck and there would be no way to contact the world until very much later.

I have a feeling that if Languishtas ended up on a deserted island (shipwrecked or otherwise), there'd be The Others in the jungle, consisting of OHGamer, Uglyduck, tomatocow, SaDiStIk and BumbleBee.
