The Western Caribbean has a more
exotic adventurous flavor and is
becoming increasingly popular with
Belize, Cozumel, Grand Cayman,
Jamaica and Costa Maya being the
more popular stops. Many cruise
ships departing from Texas and
Louisiana typically travel to this
part of the Caribbean because of
it’s proximity to these ports. While
enjoying great weather year round be
aware that hurricanes tend to occur
around the end of October to early
November so plan accordingly. Scuba
diving and snorkeling is among the
best in the world and is perfect for
those looking for a more active
vacation with water activities the
order of the day. This part of the
Caribbean is also home to several
ancient Mayan temple ruins that are
sure to appeal to any modern day
Indiana Jones. The Grand Cayman
islands are probably the most
popular port of call in the Western
Caribbean and are made up of three
islands; Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac
and Little Brac. Being an English
territory there should not be a
language problem and because of
their location the Caymans are
usually free from hurricanes making
them ideal to visit any time.
Finally, we have the Southern
Caribbean considered by many as one
of the last unspoiled tropical
paradises in the world. Aruba,
Barbados, Antigua, Costa Rica,
Dominica and the British Virgin
Islands are the major tourist
destinations in the area. The best
time to cruise the Southern
Caribbean is the dead of winter and
because this part of the Caribbean
is fairly unknown and less developed
it tends to be less crowded and
cheaper overall. The Southern
Caribbean attracts the more
adventurous cruiser who wants to get
away from the hectic crowds of the
Eastern Caribbean islands.
Temperatures in the Southern
Caribbean do not vary much and
tropical storms and hurricanes are
rare which makes this a perfect
cruise destination for those wanting
to see unspoiled tropical beauty.
The Southern Caribbean is a perfect
place to kick back and relax in some
of the most beautiful surroundings
in the world. No matter which part
of the Caribbean you choose to sail
to you can expect a first rate trip
and a vacation experience you will
always remember. Whether you plan to
shop, dive or just lay on a secluded
beach soaking up the sun you will
find a region that is made just for
you.
