Return To Cruises Article Archive   Cruise and Stay Caribbean Guide - Part 1 By Damian Mortimer Murphy There are roughly 20 cruise lines that sail the Caribbean sea. Most people, particularly Americans choose the bigger cruise ships like the Royal Caribbean. Ships like the Royal Caribbean have a lot of amenities and provide a lot of onboard events for its customers. Unfortunately due to the size of the larger cruise ships, they can only dock at the larger ports. Smaller ships operated by the likes of Windstar are able to get into these smaller, more obscure ports that are usually quieter. Things to consider on a Caribbean Cruise and Stay Its important to note that not every Caribbean island has a port but due to increasing demand and competition from cruise liners the number of ports are increasing giving more choice of locations. Most people decide to take a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. The most common cruises that people take are either the Eastern/Western Caribbean cruises. Deciding on which cruise is better is a matter of personal preference. The following sections aim to give you some information on the Eastern/Western Caribbean cruises so that you can choose your preferred choice.
