The Caribbean is the biggest cruise destination in the world! Caribbean cruises last from 4 to 14 days. The huge varity of islands and cultures, duty-free shopping, the crystal-clear waters, lovely beaches, exciting water sports make it a favorite cruise destination the world over. Caribbean cruises are divided into three regions: Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, and Southern Caribbean.
Many Caribbean cruises are truly kid-friendly. Most ships have great children’s programs and fun children’s activity centers. Western Caribbean cruises visit the incredible Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatan coast. Mexico's barrier reef that reaches the coast of Belize is great for snorkeling and diving. The Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach is wonderful, and you can do your banking while there. The Southern Caribbean cruises stop by Aruba, popular St. Thomas and the rain forests of Martinique. Eastern Caribbean cruises usually visit ports in the Virgin Islands, San Juan, the Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos Islands.
If you are concerned about the Caribbean hurricane season, it runs from June 1 through November 30, however the sophisticated radar and weather-tracking systems on cruise ships leave little for concern. Ships can easily avoid storms and will change Caribbean cruise ports if they see the need.
