Western Caribbean

Which Lines Cruise the Western Caribbean?

A huge variety of cruise lines offer Western Caribbean cruises, including Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America.

What's the Best Time to Cruise the Western Caribbean?

The best time to cruise the Western Caribbean is between December and March, when the weather is warm but storm season is over. April and May can also be good choices with fewer crowds. This is a beautiful destination with warm weather no matter what time of the year you travel, but keep in mind that hurricane season is between June and November.

Tips to Enjoy the Best Western Caribbean Cruise

  • Use sunscreen! A severe sunburn can certainly ruin your cruise experience. You might also consider sun hats and bathing suit cover-ups.
  • Bring a poncho or jacket. The Western Caribbean is definitely sunny, but it does experience a lot of passing storms and rain showers.
  • Be prepared for Grand Cayman crowds. This is a very busy port, so expect crowded shops and beaches. Also be aware that strong winds or high seas could prevent the ship from making port.
  • Check out a snorkeling program. The Western Caribbean is a great place to dive, full of beautiful fish and sea life. Bring snorkel gear or check to see if Western Caribbean cruise specials include a dive program.

Popular Western Caribbean Cruise Ports

  1. Belize City: Belize is a prime spot for snorkeling. Another popular option is a tubing excursion through breathtaking underground caves.
  2. Cozumel: Cozumel is a small island off the Yucatan peninsula with shopping opportunities and reefs for diving. El Cielo is a white-sand beach with clear water perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and spotting sea life.
  3. Progreso: Progreso is home to pretty beaches and ecological reserves. Many people are drawn here because they can take a day trip to the famous Chitzen Itza (about two hours away). You can also reach the closer Maya sites of Uxmal and Dzibilchaltun from Progreso.
  4. Costa Maya: Costa Maya is a tourist village with all of the bars, shops, restaurants, and pools you'd hope to find at a stop like this. If you'd like to see something more authentic to Mexico, check out the nearby fishing village of Mahahual.
  5. Ocho Rios: Jamaica's Ocho Rios is famous for the Dunn's River Falls and Park, featuring a hike up a 600-foot waterfall. You can also visit the Mystic Mountain adventure park for zipline rides or a bobsled experience.
  6. George Town: Near the Cayman Islands capital, you might want to spend all of your time relaxing on Seven Mile Beach full of stretches of sand, shade trees, and clear water. More adventurous travelers like to visit Stingray City Sandbar to feed some stingrays.
