subject: The Learner's Ultimate Information To Foreigner Wishing To Experience On The Caribbean Journey [print this page] Selecting the Best Caribbean Cruise Itinerary
When planning a cruise to the Caribbean, one is challenged by having to decide on which itinerary to choose. The Caribbean offers sunny gold beaches, white powdery sands, bright blue waters, and exciting island hopping. One itinerary to consider is the Eastern Caribbean where most first time cruises often go, as it offers more time on the shore than on sea compared to other routes making beach and water activities the center of attention. The Western Caribbean cruise is a fusion of Spanish history, great shopping, and some beach fun though cruisers get to have more time on the sea than on shore since the islands are a bit farther apart. Tour of French and Native Indian heritage, landscape created by volcanoes, and rich rainforests comprise the Southern Caribbean cruise. Whatever route the traveler prefers and chooses the important part is that you get value for your money and enjoy the cruise.
Sailing on the Finest Eastern Caribbean Cruises
The Eastern Caribbean Cruise is one of the most sought-after cruises in the Caribbean islands. Since the islands on this route are near each other, tourists can spend more time on the shore rather than spend most of the time on board the cruise ships. Shore excursions include a taste of the amazing brilliant sun, pristine white sand and crystal clear azure sea of these natural and untouched islands with swimming or sports activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, beach volleyball or just simply lazing under the shade of its palm trees. This cruise can take from as short as a weekend or up to one week or more. Rates vary depending on the cruise line, accommodation and type of services availed of, ranging from the most basic to the most magnificent. These cruises almost always include ports of call at Bahamas, Puerto Rico with San Juan, St. John, St. Thomas, St. Martin or St. Maarten and the British and American Virgin Islands. Cruise season is usually December to April with cheap rates during the summer months. Remember to avoid sailing during the months of hurricanes and storms which is from June to November.
Pleasurable Cruise with Carnival Caribbean Cruise
Nothing beats the unforgettable fun that one can get from Carnival Cruises. They espouse the mission of giving each passenger a delightful enjoyable cruising adventure. The accommodation consists of spacious and well furnished staterooms with lavishly decorated interiors provided with signature Carnival Comfort Beds and also has round the clock room service. You will never run out of things to do and pamper yourself with on board like socializing at the Atrium, rejuvenating at the spa, shopping at Fun Shops, a tour of the art gallery, swimming at their outdoor swimming pools, sliding down their Carnival Waterslide, going on an early morning jog at the ship's top track or having an exciting time during your shore tours. During the nighttime, you can be one of the night owls who cannot resist the never ending parties at clubs and bars, casinos, and impressive production shows, musicals, and comedy. Carnival Cruises are guaranteed to bring fun and entertainment to all.
Caribbean Cruise Cabin Selections
Going on a Caribbean cruise is equally made perfect by staying in the best accommodation type or cabin of your choice. Cruise liners have ships sailing with quite a few room choices, all depending on the cruise line companies and the size of the ship. Staterooms or standard rooms are the most economical and smallest of all with only the essential furnishings available and no window most of the time. Those with portholes that give an astonishing view of the ocean and islands are the ocean view type cabins. If you want to savor a taste of fresh sea breeze and watch the ocean from the outside, you can select cabins with balconies or verandas. For a more luxurious and classy cruise, the suite accommodation is perfect with the fully furnished cabin and lavishly decorated interiors plus a large bathroom. Whichever type of room you opt to stay in, it is always best to consider every aspect of your trip and what is important is that you enjoy the cruise and the experience is worth everything you spend.
