Planning a Caribbean Cruise

For people who've never traveled to the Caribbean, cruising is an excellent method for previewing a number of islands in a short time.

A cruise can let you discover a favorite tropical island, one you otherwise might never have considered.

Cruising is also one of the most comfortable ways to travel. Stay in one room, visit many islands and enjoy luxury resort service.

Selecting a Stateroom . . .  What to consider

What to Pack & Wear . . . Not as overwhelming as it might seem

Dining Choices & Options . . . The most important choice is whether to dine early or late

Time in Port . . . Planning shore excursions, individual trips, walking tours
