Western Carribean Cruises
There are so many islands in the Caribbean that sometimes its best
to explore just one area at a time. Honduras and Belize have lovely
seaports that many western Carribean cruises will stop at. While
the islands are tiny and the pace is slower, you can easily take
one of the western Carribean cruises for 10 days and really soak
up the scenery of the Western Caribbean. |

When you take a holiday in the western Carribean, you get an entirely
different experience to the major resort destinations along the
eastern fringes of the region. In the smaller, less well known islands
such as The Virgin Islands, along with the Central American countries
of Honduras and Belize, you can visit places where the real culture
of the region has been less changed by the ever encroaching pace
of tourism, and where you can still get an authentic taste of Carribean
life today.
One of the things about western Carribean cruises as opposed to
those in the east is that you will tend to spend a little more time
at sea, particularly over the first few days of your holiday as
you make your way from Florida across the Gulf of Mexico. This means
that you will get a chance to enjoy the facilities available on
board ship at the start of your holiday. |

Most of the major cruise ships that operate in the Carribean offer
world class entertainment and facilities including a choice of swimming
pools, theatre with music and magic shows, as well as golf driving
ranges, casinos, a number of different restaurants, and of course
a choice of bars.
Modern cruise ships have full size shopping malls where you can
shop duty free, and you will definitely want to take advantage of
this if you plan on going to one of the balls during your western
Carribean cruises. These functions are formal, and give the passengers
the chance to enjoy a lovely evening of food, drink and dancing
at sea, and are an excellent opportunity to meet new people who
you can get to know during the rest of your cruise. |

On long days at sea during a western Carribean cruise you can sunbathe
on the ship and relax in the sunshine, either by the pool or on
one of the sun decks. If you are the kind of person who wants to
spend time relaxing on the boat as well as going ashore, then a
cruise of the western Carribean is probably the right choice for
you, and something that you will inevitably enjoy.
For a holiday that allows you to get off the beaten track and spend
time exploring all new destinations, as well as enjoying the fantastic
facilities aboard your ship, a western Carribean cruise is hard
to beat. You get the best of both worlds, and will have the opportunity
to discover a lot of places that you will want to return to again
and again in the future, as well as the kind of beach destinations
that you would normally expect from a Carribean cruise. |
