What is the Best Caribbean Cruise Line and Route? By John A Wright

Caribbean cruises are in fashion these days. If one takes into account the range of services and facilities, the various ports of call, and the range of activities on offer, Caribbean cruises are very good value. Offer much more than a Caribbean resort can offer, and can be fun no matter what the weather is like. Modern cruise ships are huge and can usually handle bad weather in step without passengers on board even felt. The popularity of Caribbean cruises has led to a number of cruise lines operating in the region, as well as different routes to choose from. So how do you decide which cruise line and the road?

First, let's take a look at the Caribbean cruise lines that are offered. The big names of Royal Caribbean, Princess and Norwegian, and it makes sense to analyze these three. They have made their names on the basis of their reputation for reliability, service and range of amenities, services, activities and routes. The selection of these would be Royal Caribbean. They have the largest and most modern fleet of cruise ships in the Caribbean, and, despite normal rates to be rather expensive, cheap, surprisingly, some Caribbean cruise package deals especially in the low season. However, if you are planning your holiday season, book well in advance as Royal Caribbean are often sold out months in advance. Norway is also a major cruise line and a little cheaper than Royal Caribbean, while the Princess is another good choice for those seeking an agreement. There are several other cruise operators in the Caribbean working on the theme-based cruises, such as celebrity, which may satisfy some people tastes.

Now, in the Caribbean cruise routes. In general, the cruise takes place in a certain area of the Caribbean, visiting ports of call to this particular region. Basically, the Caribbean Sea can be divided into East, West, North and South zones. Depending on the length of the cruise, one or more of these regions can be explored. There are also cruises to one destination, such as Bermuda or the Bahamas (which technically are not really part of the Caribbean, but close enough). Personally, I think the east and south are the most interesting itineraries. The eastern routes stopping at usually great places like Antigua, St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla, all of which are loaded with history and friendly people. These routes can also take over the French and Netherlands Antilles, which have their own cultural environment and magnificent views. Southern will also take cruises to the magical islands like Trinidad, Tobago, Curacao, Aruba, Barbados and Bonaire. Those with enough time and money can combine these two regions on a cruise, to see what is the best of what the Caribbean has to offer!
