Travel Tips for Caribbean

History & culture

The Caribbean is a melting pot of diverse cultures and histories that have shaped the region into the captivating destination it is today. As you sail from one island to another, you’ll discover the lasting impact of European colonization, particularly from the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch. Wander through well-preserved colonial architecture, marvel at ancient forts, and immerse yourself in the fascinating tales of pirates and hidden treasure. Enjoy the pulsating rhythms of reggae, soca, and calypso music, witness the captivating art of local craftsmen, and partake in lively cultural festivals that showcase the region’s rich heritage.

Food & drink

Caribbean cuisine is a delectable fusion of flavours, spices, and cooking techniques that reflect the islands’ diverse cultural heritage. On your cruise, indulge in an array of mouthwatering dishes that incorporate fresh local seafood, tropical fruits, and exotic spices. Savour the taste of Creole-inspired dishes in Martinique, sample spicy jerk chicken in Jamaica, or delight in the fresh catch of the day in Barbados. As you savour the flavours of the Caribbean, don’t forget to try the region’s famous beverages. Sip on a refreshing rum punch, enjoy a chilled local beer, or indulge in a smooth sipping rum as you watch the sunset over the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

Tips for cruising to the Caribbean

Currency considerations

Each Caribbean island may have its own currency, and while many businesses accept US dollars, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the local currency and exchange rates before your trip. Major credit cards are widely accepted, but having some local cash on hand can be useful for small purchases, taxis, and tipping. Exchange rates can vary, so consider using a currency conversion app or website to stay up-to-date on the latest rates.

Customs and traditions to be aware of

The Caribbean is a melting pot of cultures, and it’s essential to be respectful and aware of local customs and traditions. Be mindful of local dress codes, particularly when visiting religious sites or more conservative communities. It’s also important to be aware of any local laws or customs, such as alcohol consumption regulations or photography restrictions at specific sites.

Making the most use of short durations in port

With limited time at each port of call, it’s crucial to plan your activities in advance to maximize your experience. Research each destination before your cruise, noting any must-see attractions, historical sites, or unique experiences. Prioritize your top choices, and consider booking guided tours or shore excursions through your cruise line to ensure you don’t miss out on any highlights. Keep in mind that many Caribbean destinations operate on “island time,” so be patient, and flexible, and leave enough time to return to your ship before departure.

Each Caribbean destination may offer different transportation options, so it’s important to research the best way to get around during your time onshore. Taxis are often readily available at cruise ports, but be sure to negotiate the fare before you start your journey. Public transportation, such as buses or minibuses, can be an affordable and authentic way to explore the islands, but schedules can be unpredictable. Alternatively, consider renting a car or scooter to give you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
