Western Caribbean cruise reviews are raving about these newer ports and hot spots that are available from various cruise lines. Although the more traditional Eastern or Southern Caribbean cruise reviews rank those areas high and most popular, the Western Caribbean cruise reviews say that those areas have had the most growth in recent years in popularity for cruises.
There are many different places to choose from when considering a Western Caribbean cruise, from the well known ports to some that are less known, more rugged and adventurous. These cruises are usually taken during the hot times of year, such as during the Christmas holidays, since people want to get out of the cold and go somewhere exotic, according to the Western Caribbean cruise reviews.
The Hot Spots
There are many hot spots in the Western Caribbean, according to Western Caribbean cruise reviews. One such place is Costa Maya, Mexico. This port is located in the Yucatan Peninsula and is a man-made island created especially for cruises. As such, it is a private get away that is filled with exceptional touring experiences. There are bars and pools as well as shops available for tourists who port there.
Another hot spot is the Playa del Carmen, which is also in Mexico. There are many different places to listen to music, eat wonderful food at a variety of restaurants, and other nightlife entertainment. In addition, tourists can visit Mayan ruins as well as hidden caves and springs that were a vital part of ancient Mayan culture according to Western Caribbean cruise reviews.
Moving from Mexico, another wonderful vacation spot according to Western Caribbean cruise reviews is Belize City, Belize. This is a particular hot spot for scuba divers, since there is a barrier reef that is the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Since there are so many exotic fish and beautiful clear water, it is also popular among the avid snorkelers and swimmers.
If the tourists’ interest is more in beautiful beaches during the day and wild ghost stories told around the campfire at night, then Montego Bay, Jamaica is likely to be a great pick. There is a plantation there that is supposedly haunted by ‘The White Witch,’ whose name while living was Annie Palmer. Palmer mistreated the slaves on the plantation while she was alive and was supposedly cursed by one of them before she died.
Western Caribbean cruise reviews rave about the waterfalls that can be found at another hot spot in Jamaica – Ocho Rios. These waterfalls can be viewed through hiking, motorcycle rides or trips by Kayak. There are gorgeous lagoons and vegetation which will boggle the eyes.
