Which Caribbean cruise

Recommended Posts

My husband and I, both in our early 60s, would like to take a Caribbean cruise in February. We are anxious to get reservations made but don't know where to start. Which cruiseline and which route would we most enjoy? We are looking for a relaxing vacation without too much excitment. Will appreciate any suggestions.

The best advice is talk to a travel agent they can give you a cruiseline that suits your lifestyle, budget and what you are looking for in a cruise.

There are so many choices out there as well as opinions.

 

What one person may like another will not.

 

Talk to a travel professional in your area.

 

enjoy your cruise

Try Holland America. We did the Amsterdam last year, but I think the Volendam is doing that route this year. 10 days to southern/panama canal. We have cruised twice with HAL and find that we (ages 62 & 55) fit in perfectly. There are less youngsters on the more than 7 day cruises.

My wife and I are the same ages you are and we enjoy the Western Caribbean. RCI's Mariner of the Seas is a great ship!

 

We don't rush around trying to get in all of the excursions.

 

We just go ashore and wander around. Sometimes we hire a taxi for an informal tour.

 

Relax, take it easy, take some good books, and enjoy yourselves.

Excellent advice for the un-hurried!:)

My most favourite ports would be anything with a St. in it. St. Lucia, St. Martin were my favourite so I would have to say the southern Caribbean. I would also say either Princess or Royal Caribbean, they are fun but not wild!

 

Good luck on your choices!
