Where do Caribbean cruises go?
What’s the difference between the Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, and Southern Caribbean? We’ll tell ya — and show you all the cruise deals too!
Eastern Caribbean
Eastern Caribbean cruises go to the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport), Grand Turk, Jamaica, the cruise lines’ private islands like Stirrup Cay, Half Moon Bay, Ocean Cay, and the Virgin Islands like St. Thomas and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
These destinations are all very beachy, with perfect sand and water. They are stunningly beautiful and also usually small and safe. These places are less than 5 miles wide and they will come find you rather than leave you behind. (They usually find folks passed out on the beach from too many margaritas.)
We feel the most culturally and architecturally interesting Eastern Caribbean cruise destination is Puerto Rico. Christopher Columbus arrived in Puerto Rico in 1493, and the Europeans (Spain) stayed and colonized this island. So old San Juan looks like a 500-year-old European city. Against the backdrop of the stunning Caribbean waters, it’s a very unique and beautiful juxtaposition. GO!

Western Caribbean
Western Caribbean cruises go to Mexican ports like Cozumel and Costa Maya; Central American countries such as Belize and Honduras; Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Key West.
These destinations are equally beautiful, and also very interesting, as Mexico and Central American countries have long histories and cultures rich with distinct architecture, cuisine, native dress, and traditions.
And because these countries are connected to the North and South American continents, the number and variety of animal life are much greater. Can you say SLOTH? Yes, you can find those at Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth hangout in Roatan, Honduras.
If you want more than just sitting on a beautiful beach, a Western Caribbean cruise is best for you.

Southern Caribbean
Southern Caribbean cruises most often start in San Juan and go to Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, Trinidad, St. Lucia, and Grenada.
If you want to be sure to hit warm waters and hot temps even in January and February, with smaller crowds in more tropical and exotic destinations, the Southern Caribbean may be best for you — worth the flight down to San Juan to begin your cruise.
The spice market in Grenada, the Pitons of St. Lucia, the salt flats of Bonaire — these are very unique phenomena AND you have perfect sand and calm, bathtub-warm waters.

What’s the difference between the Caribbean and the Bahamas?
The Bahamas are technically located in the Atlantic Ocean, while “Caribbean” islands are located within the Caribbean Sea. In reality, the Bahamas are farther north. The Bahamas includes Nassau and Freeport — and the water and beaches are simply gorgeous!
Some Eastern Caribbean ports are…
