1. Caribbean Ports

2. Some of the best things about cruising is visiting
all the beautiful places the ship ports.
The Caribbean is no exception, with many
islands; the chances are you’d need to come
back a few times to make sure you’ve seen
everything.
In an attempt to make things a little easier for
you, I’ve listed some of the places I visited on my
Royal Caribbean Cruise last year.

3. San Juan, Puerto Rico
One of the most popular places to visit here is
Old San Juan, which offers a large variety of
sightseeing, shopping and dining opportunities.
Take a horse drawn carried ride throughout the
town to plan your day and get some designer
jewellery and local crafts at great prices.

4. Check out some of the islands heritage in its vast
array of art venues, museums, historic churches
and fortresses.
Or if nature is more of your thing why not go
hiking or do a bit of bird watching?
There are shopping opportunities around every
corner and even the change to take a tour
around a world famous rum factory.

5. Georgetown, Grand Cayman
This port is popular and bustling but never
unbearably busy. The biggest attraction of this
port is its shopping facilities where tourists can
buy a wide range of high end items at duty free
prices.
There is a wide array of goods such as watches,
camera, good quality jewellery, perfumes and
cosmetics to be had here, at a fraction of the
normal price.

6. Whilst porting here make sure you take a chance to
enjoy some of the local cuisine, with conch
fritters, stingray beer and rum cake rated the
highest with tourists.
Other activities not to be missed include relaxing on
some of their breath-taking beaches, learning some
of its heritage in local museums and taking a swim
with the stingrays.

7. Willemstad, Curacao
Willemstad is a beautiful reminder of Curacaos
Dutch heritage and this is reflected in its
colourful colonial architecture.
If you want to get about and about whilst
there, there is no shortage of things to do, with
a variety of sightseeing, shopping opportunities
and restaurants close at hand.

8. If you have shopping in mind, make sure you
visit Willemstad’s famous floating market where
you can purchase fresh fruit, vegetables and fish
from the catch of the day.
If you are staying on the island overnight, make
sure you venture out and sample its nightlife, try
your luck with some beach casino, see a live jazz
in a local club or dance the night away at an
open air beach party.
