The Western Caribbean: For More Relaxation Time On Your Cruise
Cruise Lines generally divide their Caribbean Cruises into three distinct groups: Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, and Southern Caribbean. For most people, the Eastern Caribbean is the best known.
The exact destinations for each cruise depend on the cruise line and upon the number of days in the cruise. It is a matter of logistics. You can get more destinations in on a 10 or 12 day cruise than you can on a 3, 4, 5, or 7 day cruise.
This lens will concentrate on the cruise lines with Western Caribbean destinations, and link to specific lenses for each destination within the Western Caribbean area. Although the departure cities are considered part of the destination list, I am not including them in my lenses on destinations.
The same will be done for Southern Caribbean destinations, and for Eastern Caribbean destinations,
There is some overlap of destinations among the different cruise areas since most of the cruise departure cities of in the U.S. or San Juan, Puerto Rico. For that reason, some destinations that are not geographically part of the named group will be included along the route.

Who Should Take A Western Caribbean Cruise?
Western Caribbean cruises are recommended particularly for first time cruisers. It is also for those wanting more rest and relaxation.
Most Western Caribbean cruises make less stops than do the Eastern and Southern Caribbean cruises. The ports of call are further away from each other and there are at least two full days at sea on a seven day cruise. So, you may only have three to four stops on a seven day cruise. Of course, it the cruise destinations you wish to visit are normally found on a Western Caribbean cruise, then the cruise is definitely for you. These generally include Cozumel (or other Mexican stops), Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Roatan Island, Honduras.
Your choice might also depend on from which port you wish to start your journey. Western Caribbean cruises embark from Miami, Ft.Lauderdale, Cape Canaveral or Tampa in Florida; Galveston in Texas; Mobile, Alabama; or New Orleans, Louisiana.
