The
Best Eastern Caribbean Cruise Destination
If you are looking to plan you cruise and want to stop at
the best eastern Caribbean cruise spot there are many different
locations to choose from. For me there are many different ones
and choosing the best eastern Caribbean cruise location will
come down to personal preference. While I can not tell you what
the best eastern Caribbean cruise destination is, I can give
you some advice on what to look for when finding your personal
best eastern Caribbean cruise spot. Many of these same things
will hold true for finding the best southern Caribbean cruise
spot as well, so take note when planning your trip.
Must
Haves For The Best Eastern Caribbean Cruise
Spot
The first thing you need to have is beaches. Beaches are
what truly make the Caribbean great, and miles of white
pristine sand are the most iconic representation of this
paradise. I would look for an island with extensive public
beaches that are within walking distance of lodging. These
should be easy enough to find and almost all of the
destinations have access to this.
Part and parcel with the beaches is snorkeling and scuba
diving. The coral reefs in the Caribbean are some of the fines
in the entire world and if you enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving
then finding a location that has unique and fun dives is a
must. Several of the islands give you the opportunity to dive
on a real shipwreck, and if you can I highly suggest taking the
chance to take advantage of this.
Next up is shopping. One of the best aspects sometimes
overlooked on the Caribbean islands is the shopping. Many of
the islands offer duty free shops where you can get 25-50% the
price you would normally see in the US or Europe. Specialties
of these shops include jewelry and gems, so if you are looked
for a prized memento I suggest finding an island that has many
shops where prices are competitive.
Last up is dining. There are some islands that have unique
restaurants and even more unique cuisine. I would take some
time to do research on the islands and their local cuisine and
if you find some you like, be sure to plan a stop.
As you can see there are many things that go into planning
the best eastern Caribbean cruise spot. My personal suggestion
is your first to the Caribbean to schedule as many different
stops as you can. This way you can see as many different things
as you can and find what you truly enjoy to better plan your
next trip to this paradise.
