Often considered the vacation of choice for a certain age group, the demand for Caribbean cruises is increasing; this has got to be the easiest way to see a variety of Caribbean islands in a short space of time. There is fantastic scenery, beautiful beaches, and exotic Caribbean island locations; on the cruise liner itself you will have entertainment and a full program of activities at anytime of the day or night. Some people only take a short break and visit perhaps only a couple of islands as part of a larger vacation but most people are doing a tour of as many islands as they can with some lasting over two weeks.
Vacations like this are about enjoyment and it what these companies do best irrespective of weather or environment, it is your choice; enjoy the on board entertainment or that at each destination. If anything, you will have a hard time keeping up with everything that you can possibly do on a cruise liner.
It is always a pleasant use of your time to see what vacations on ships are available and see what choice of packages there are so why not start at the local travel operator for some advice. Each Caribbean cruise will visit a certain number of islands on that particular voyage so you must decide if you want to visit certain islands like Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas or Antigua for example.
Some cruise vacations to the Caribbean are for people that like to party with plenty of discos and non-stop entertainment and may not be the ideal place for families. Even though your tour operator should be able to provide information on the types of Caribbean cruise packages that are available, there will probably be more advice to be found on the web sites.
Of course you will need to take all the usual changes of clothing you have for a vacation but ships have many more evening functions which require a little more thought. Women may want to take two or three evening dresses and men will need a tuxedo, they will probably get to wear it for a number of evenings.
The great thing about cruise vacations is that if you take your children along you can be sure they will have a fun filled time. There will be probably more for your children to do than at a standard resort, in fact you probably won’t see them much during the day.
Some Caribbean cruises are specifically for adults only, which ideal for couples, honeymooners and people that would like to have a child free vacation. There is no end to what you can actually request on your cruise liner vacation so if you have just got married or are celebrating your fiftieth wedding anniversary, something special can be arranged.
A Caribbean cruise will be your vacation of a lifetime as it has the scenery, locations, beaches and the first class service you can expect on board a cruise liner whether you are alone or with others.

What are the silver cylinders near the smokestack on the Island Princess cruise ship.?I saw a Princess Cruise ship (I believe it was the Island Princess). I noticed that on each side of the smokestack, there were silver cylinders mounted horizontally that looked something like a jet engine. Does anyone have any idea what those are?

LOL! I have to keep watching this! so Beautiful! Musics Perfect!
We sailed on the Island Escape 5 years ago in the Med, on a 7 day cruise. We booked an inside cabin and ended up with an ocean view on deck 9.
Very informal, and because of that, very relaxing. No different from any other cruise line regarding service and amenities.
To be honest, I didn't really like most of the shows but that was 5 years ago, they must have improved by now.
The food was reasonable, plenty of choice, no reason to go hungry.
The excursions were pricey, but it doesn't matter which cruise line you go with, all the excursions are pricey.
