Best deal for your Caribbean Cruise

Tropical islands, great white beaches,  sunny weather and small old towns….caribbean cruises have always attracted many tourists.  The Caribbean is the most popular cruise destination and great deals can always be found.  Every year millions of people take a short or longer cruise to the Caribbean.

Carnival and Royal Caribbean are two of the most popular cruise lines that serve many destinations in the Caribbean.  They are for people with limited budgets and people who love to go to the main destinations in the Caribbean, like Roatan in Honduras or Cancun or Cozumel in Mexico.  The next step is Holland America Lines,  Celebrity Cruises or Princess. They basically go to the same destinations, but have more crew on board and the service level is considered somewhat higher.  For real top-notch cruises find a deal with Windstar or Cunard, designed for those people who like the best in class cruise to the Caribbean.

Popular cruise destinations in the Caribbean have traditionally been Cancun and Cozumel in Mexico, the Bahamas (Nassau), Roatan (Honduras) and Belize. On a short cruise typical Key West is included as well.  Islands in the Netherlands Antilles, like Bonaire, Aruba and Curacoa are becoming more popular as well as several destinations in Colombia. A great port in Colombia is Cartagena. Cartagena offers great weather, nice beaches but it is also a lovely Spanish colonial city.  Of course Colombia is mostly known for its drugs cartels, but safety in these ports is really, really not an issue anymore these days.  Cartagena is my personal recommendation for a great location in the Caribbean.

Planning for a cruise in the Caribbean is easy. Go to the websites of Carnival or Royal Caribbean and check the itenaries. Decide where you want to go and when and compare the offers to see which deal is the best. Don’t forget to contact an agent to find out if there might be a last minute cruise deal available.  Be flexible, sometimes you can get a great deal by departing from a different country like Panama.  Take the opportunity, fly into Panama and stay a couple of days before jumping on the boat.  You start to relax already before the cruise has started and you can visit sites like the Panama canal.

Finally, if you are travelling with kids, think about a Disney cruise. The kids will not get bored, and you will have a great time too.  Have fun in the Caribbean!
