The Jamaica Cruise Experience

In recent years, the Jamaican cruise experience has become popular among all travelers who enjoy the sand, sea and sun! Depending on your needs and style, there is sure to be a cruise line to fit your vision of an ideal and relaxing vacation. Everything from budget to luxury accommodations are available depending on which cruise line you book with. There is a variety of cruise lines that offer Jamaican cruises:  Carnival Cruises, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean, just to name a few. Typically, these cruise ships leave from various ports in Florida and set sail through the Caribbean Sea. Most cruises sail directly to Jamaica and one can enjoy what the ship has to offer before arriving at the various Jamaican ports.  Typically on board, a guest can enjoy fine dining, nightlife, spa services, fitness classes and then retreat to their cabins, which include all the comforts of home. Once the cruise ship arrives to this beautiful tropical island, its first port usually is Montego Bay. Here travelers can explore the town, seeing the old plantation houses, the Nile Mile, and Bob Marley's birthplace. Also, the numerous outdoor craft markets are sure to keep shoppers busy. The famous Doctor Cave Beach is located here Montego Bay as well. The second port normally is Ocho Rios. Once docked, vacationers can reach the center of town in approximately ten minutes and enjoy the scenery by eating and drinking at the many restaurants and bars. The Dunn's River Falls, which is a 600 foot cascading waterfall, would be an ideal place to cool off from Jamaica's hot and humid weather. A typical Jamaican cruise ends with Port Antonio, a romantic town especially for honeymooners. Vacationers can explore the Blue Lagoon, the isolated Frenchman's Cove Beach and the beautiful Reach Falls. Those that want to see the main parts of this tropical island opt for a Jamaican cruise and immensely enjoy their experience.
