Without a doubt, one of the best ways to check out the Caribbean is via a cruise ship. From the comfort of the ship, you can be ferried around from Caribbean hot spot to Caribbean hot spot, getting a taste for a wide variety of flavors in the process.
However, you should never confine your experience to the Caribbean to solely that which you can get from a cruise ship. The reason is simple.
