The Caribbean is a vast
region that offers a number of cruise options. The Western
Caribbean is a popular destination for cruises departing from Miami or Tampa, Florida. This area
includes a number of interesting ports of call including:
Key West
America’s southernmost city, Key West has a colorful history. Today it is both stylish and
funky, with something for everyone. Old Town, the most charming part of Key West, is especially interesting with its many
restaurants, shops, museums, and art galleries.
Montego Bay
This popular city is Jamaica’s second largest. Although much of Montego Bay looks new today, the city is actually some 200 years
old! Strolling through the town center or the eastern (tourist) section, you
can enjoy calypso music and sample a Jamaican specialty, such as jerk chicken.
Driving east on the road to Rio Ochos, you will find beautiful beaches, luxury
resorts and several of the island’s famous plantation houses.
George Town
Located on Grand Cayman Island, George
Town is the
capital of the Cayman Islands. It is sometimes called the "Switzerland of the Caribbean"
since it is a leading financial center. Nevertheless, the city and surrounding
area provide the tourist with many diversions – from shops and restaurants to
submarine dives to view the famous reefs and undersea life surrounding the
island.
Cozumel
This island resort is part of the Mexican
Caribbean. First discovered by divers in the 1950s, Cozumel now hosts visitors from all over the world. Besides diving, for which
it is still well known, the resort offers fabulous shops, luxurious hotels and
great restaurants, all with a special Mexican flavor.
