Caribbean cruises are all the rage these days. When you consider the range of amenities and facilities, the various ports of call, and the range of activities on offer, Caribbean cruises are pretty good value. They offer much more than any one Caribbean resort can offer, and can be great fun no matter what the weather is like. Modern cruise liners are huge and can commonly cope rough weather in gait without the passengers on board even noticing. The popularity of Caribbean cruises has resulted in some cruise lines operating in the region, as well as some dissimilar routes to select from. So how do you determine which cruise line and route?
Firstly, let us take a look at the Caribbean cruise lines on offer. The big names are Royal Caribbean, Princess and Norwegian, and it makes sense to look at these three first. They have made their names based on their prestige of reliability, service and range of amenities, services, activities and routes. The pick of these would have to be Royal Caribbean. They have the largest and most Modern fleet of cruise ships in the Caribbean, and, despite normal fares being a tad expensive, have some surprisingly cheap Caribbean cruise holder deals especially in the off season. Any way if you are planning your vacation for a high season, book well in strengthen as Royal Caribbean is often sold out months beforehand. Norwegian is also a great cruise line and a miniature economy than Royal Caribbean, while Princess is someone else good selection for those seeing for a deal. There are some other Caribbean cruise operations that work on theme-based cruises, such as Celebrity, which may suit unavoidable travelers' tastes.

Now, on to Caribbean cruise routes. Ordinarily cruises take place in a unavoidable area of the Caribbean, visiting the ports of call particular to that region. Basically, the Caribbean Sea can be divided into Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern areas. Depending on the distance of the cruise, one or a few of these regions can be explored. There are also cruises just to one destination, such as Bermuda or the Bahamas (both of which are technically not authentically part of the Caribbean, but close enough!). Personally, I think the Eastern and Southern routes are the most interesting. The Eastern routes commonly stop in at amazing places such as Antigua, St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla, all of which are steeped in history and have the friendliest people. These routes may also take you straight through the French and Netherlands Antilles, which have their own distinctive cultural climate and magnificent sights. The Southern cruises also take you to magical islands such as Trinidad, Tobago, Curacao, Aruba, Barbados and Bonaire. Those with adequate time and money can authentically consolidate these two regions into one cruise, seeing what I consider to be the best of what the Caribbean has to offer!
