Featured Southern Caribbean Cruise Ports

Survey the Southern Caribbean’s most famous islands (plus our main departure port).

  • Ft. Lauderdale

Aruba defies expectations with a vibrant desert interior ringed with white sand beaches, a dramatic northern coastline, and quaint colonial Dutch architecture. Cruise to Aruba's famous aloe plantations and factories, and learn their historical importance to the island. Visit the California lighthouse, named for the steamship that sank off the coast over a hundred years ago. Stroll through Oranjestad, the picturesque, Dutch-inspired capital while browsing for the perfect souvenir to remind you of your time here.

A small paradise off the coast of Venezuela, Bonaire has some of the world's most pristine diving and snorkeling locations. Preserved coral reefs wait in the warm water, easy to explore from the comfortable beach clubs ashore. Take a diving or snorkeling expedition to the uninhabited island of Klein Bonaire, offroad through the wild mangrove forests and salt flats of the island's interior, or take in the sights of the quaint Dutch-influenced capital by trolley.

With its dramatic landscapes, arid interior and pastel-painted Dutch-style houses, Curaçao is a distinct delight nestled in the warm Caribbean Sea. Cruises to Curaçao allow you to enjoy many beautiful beaches, snorkel through the shipwreck of a 50-year-old tugboat, or marvel at the striking sea cliffs of Boka Tabla. If the history of the island fascinates you, take a tour of the charming capital of Willemstad, or visit Fort Amsterdam and see the cannonball still embedded in its walls from a battle hundreds of years ago.

Pristine, lush and alive, Dominica escaped modern civilization's penchant for paving every surface and has remained a nature lover's paradise. Dive into the gorgeous blue depths of the dormant volcanic crater in Scotts Head Marine Reserve, and witness the vibrant sea life that makes it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the verdant rainforests, botanical gardens and waterfalls of the island's interior, and experience a slice of heaven on earth

A lush rainforest-covered island nestled between two volcanic peaks, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Pitons, St. Lucia is the definition of a tropical paradise. Cruise to St. Lucia and visit the famous Pitons, journey to the only drive-through volcanic cavern in the world, or experience the sulfur mud baths and recharge your batteries in ancient pools. Travel to the town of Soufriere, supposedly the birthplaces of Napoleon's Queen Josephine, zipline through the lush jungle canopy, or relax on one of the islands many resort beaches.

The "Venice of America" has been the premier destination for spring breakers for almost six decades, but don't let that fool you into thinking the city is one big party. From the Everglades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to an amazingly rich biosphere, to seven miles of white-sand beaches, Ft. Lauderdale is a beautifully diverse city.

Southern Caribbean from Miami October 2022

Southern Caribbean

During your Southern Caribbean trip from Miami in October 2022 , you will have the opportunity to go snorkeling, walk along beaches with pearly pink sand, and swim through crystal-clear blue waters. Here is a summary of the weather in the Southern Caribbean to help you efficiently plan your trip from Miami. Because the air and sea temperatures remain consistently warm throughout the year in the Southern Caribbean, the region's weather continues to be a popular destination for holidaymakers. The majority of these stops are well-known ports of call for cruises in the southern Caribbean. In general, this region includes all of the islands that are located in the closest proximity to South America, beginning with Saint Lucia in the north and ending with Trinidad in the south. Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, and Trinidad are seven of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean. The temperature of the southern Caribbean islands, like that of the rest of the Caribbean, is consistently warm and tropical throughout the year. Storms and high humidity are quite consistent during the wet season, which lasts from June to December. Tropical storms are brief but intense weather systems characterized by dense clouds that produce large amounts of precipitation in explosive bursts before rapidly dissipating. Storms have the potential to become more hazardous as the hurricane season progresses. The dry season, which lasts from January until May, is actually rather comparable to the rainy season; however, as one might anticipate, it is significantly drier. Even if the showers are getting lighter and shorter, the rain is still falling very often. Departing from Miami, Southern Caribbean cruise ports welcome ships and visitors from the world’s most popular cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line , MSC Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line , Oceania Cruises , Regent Seven Seas Cruises , Royal Caribbean , offering a large number of Southern Caribbean voyages in October 2022.

Get to Know Carnival Horizon

The line that brings the sea and the sky together inspired us... to build a ship that unites you with great fun, comfort, dining and exotic destinations. And most importantly, unites you with one another. It's Carnival Horizon! This ship doesn't just do it a little bit, either. First, Carnival Horizon goes big with the two-screen Carnival Multiplex ® , which brings together one theater packed with huge IMAX ® action and one with 3D visuals, incredible motion effects and more! This ship keeps things flowing with an onboard waterpark that splashes you more than a little — Dr. Seuss WaterWorks ™ splashes you oodles, with a little help from the wacky characters everybody loves. Go for a bike ride way, way above it all at SkyRide ® . The Punchliner Comedy Club ™ and Playlist Productions ™ are just two of your top onboard entertainment picks, and they’re both focused on uniting you with unforgettable performances up on stage. For relaxation, get to Serenity Adult-Only Retreat ™ , or step up to max relaxation at Cloud 9 Spa ™ featuring great massages, thermal suites and more. Havana Bar ™ & Pool is a good one too — a spot that brings together stylish poolside lounging with authentically Cuban cocktails... adding hot nightlife into the mix once the sun goes down. And all day long, you know we've got stuff for the kids — Carnival Horizon has three age-specific youth spaces! This ship brings tons of flavor to every meal. It starts with a guy named Guy — Fieri — who created two awesome spots on the ship: one's the crowd-pleasing Guy's Burger Joint ™ , and the other happens to be Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse ™ , a spot that serves up BBQ classics paired with freshly-brewed-right-on-board beers. If you're looking for great seafood on Carnival Horizon, then Seafood Shack ™ 's the place to cast your net. Bonsai Teppanyaki ™ is an intimate meal and interactive performance, while Fahrenheit 555 ™ is a dining experience that stands toe-to-toe with some of the best steakhouses on land. Jiji Asian Kitchen ® and Cucina del Capitano ® each specialize in delighting certain taste buds: the ones craving pan-Asian favorites, and classic Italian dishes served family-style. (Check... and check!) Add all this together and you've got... a vacation on Carnival Horizon that truly brings it all together.

  • 2022 Ultimate Southern Caribbean: Celebrity Equinox Dining Review

We last cruised on the Equinox Nov 28, 2021 and joined our friend and his 2 year old son last minute for this voyage on Jan 30th.

I did an extensive review of the ship for that Nov/Dec cruise , so this review is going to focus on three things: Cruising Celebrity with a Toddler, Cruising during COVID times, and the different entertainers that were on the ship. In separate reviews, I’ll have some great pictures of the food and I’ll have a report on the two unique excursions we did while on this cruise.

Cruising with a Toddler Most people might think my friend to be crazy, but he has been really wanting to get back to cruising and with his wife unable to have as much flexibility to travel as he has, he decided to book a cruise for just him and his two-year-old son. About two weeks before departure he convinced my husband and I to join him on the 12-night cruise. Ironically this was the same ship and itinerary we took in Nov/Dec, but since we have pretty much been to all the Caribbean islands anyway, we decided to take up his suggestions and join him.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

Quite frankly, we also weren’t sure about what it would be like to cruise with a two-year-old, but between the fact that his is a very good boy and has a close bond with his Dad and the fact that Celebrity made him a Celebrity with the VIP treatment, it was a fabulous experience for all 4 of us.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

Dinner can be a challenge in any situation for a toddler. Generally, they don’t always have the attention span to sit for a long meal, and on a cruise ship, there is really no way around that, but we made it work. It helps that he is used to going out to eat with his Dad, so he has had some practice as dining out. Our friend also cooks a lot at home and tries as much as he can to give his son real food rather than chicken nuggets and fish sticks, so for that reason the children’s menu was not preferred. Instead for most meals Dad just shared his food with his son, or we ordered a steak to be brought to his son right away as the rest of us were making our way though our earlier courses. In typical toddler fashion, what he liked one day wasn’t what he wanted the next day. We had to mitigate dinner roll consumption by allowing everyone at our table to take one piece of bread and then it went onto the other table, out of sight out of mind for the little one.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

We even did three nights of specialty dining, for which again he was surprisingly good. He had a good nap every afternoon, so that helped mitigate the fussiness that one might expect from a toddler. On our final night of specialty dining, we split ourselves into two groups. With the little boy and I going to the animated Le Petite Chef Dining experience, and Dad and my husband doing the Tuscan Grill. Luckily these two venues are adjacent to each other. About 45 minutes into the Le Petite chef experience, the little guy had had enough and was ready to see Daddy again. The staff brought our entrees over to Tuscan Grill where the little boy was able to sit still for his Dad and we all finished our meal together.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

Youth Program Celebrity has always, in my opinion, had a great youth program. The age requirements have always been 3 and older and fully potty trained. My friend knew this when we booked him and was prepared to spend 100% of his time on the cruise with his son. On the first day of the cruise, we learned that his toddler was the only person under the age of 18 on the cruise. The youth director let him know that normally the toddler play room is staffed open all day long for parents to come by with their young children for play time with the parents present. Because he was the only youth on the cruise, they would not have the kids playroom staffed regularly. But instead the youth director gave him his phone number so that he could call and arrange for someone from the youth staff to meet them there with a few minutes notice so that he could have play time at the facility. Someone from the youth staff was on call every day for just this purpose. They also let him check out a toy truck to play with in his room or on the lawn club. And speaking of the lawn club, that was another great spot where he could run around and burn off some energy. Celebrity gave him a gift of a bucket with shovel, plastic clam and starfish molds got him to play with in his room.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

All of these things were great, but the best thing that they did for him during the cruise was to set up an inflatable baby pool on the pool deck Celebrity requires that children be fully potty trained to use the regular pools, so they had three engineers, youth staff and pool staff work to get this inflatable pool set up for him most afternoons. That way he could splash and play and burn off some energy all while enjoying the music of the pool side entertainers. Dad and friends could chill in lawn chairs and watch him play.

For the most part, fellow guests didn’t seem to mind having a toddler around. Most guests would tell us that they are grand parents and just love kids. I suppose the ones that were annoyed probably didn’t say anything to us. Sometimes, when the band was playing, he would want to dance, but sometimes his idea of dancing was running around, which meant the three of us adults trying to make sure that he stayed out of peoples way. Occasionally, the other guests gave him too much attention, and it would kind of stir him up, since at two he was unable to verbalize what he needed to express.

southern caribbean cruises october 2022

I took him to the production shows, and he really loved all the music, dancing, acrobatics, lights and costumes. He would sit still for the full 45 minutes and really enjoy the show. We didn’t take him to the feature entertainers show simply because we thought he might not find it as engaging.

There were a couple of nights when “Aunt Suzanne” offered to take him back the room and let the guys have a night out. I wanted to watch the Olympics which came on at 10 or 11 at night, so I took him back to the room and he watched Thomas the Train on a tablet, while I watched Olympics.

Overall, the staff went out of their way to accommodate the little guy, sometimes it seemed like too much attention as every where we went, we were greeted by a Greek chorus calling out his name.

Cruising During COVID and Mask Times Cruising has been back in operation since June of 2021, and the overall percentage of passengers that have tested positive has been microscopic compared to on land. In fact, in Dec 21 or Jan of 22, if an average cruise ship was a state, it would have been the safest state in the country in terms of percentage of COVID cases on board. Everyone who is age eligible is vaccinated and tested. In the case my friend’s son he was not age eligible for the vaccination, so he had a PCR test at home, an antigen test at the pier, and another test before disembarkation. On top of that, all the workers on the cruise ship were wearing masks, and for this cruise, which may have been the last cruise to require it, guests had to wear masks when public areas indoors and not actively eating or drinking.

In our staterooms or outdoors on the ship, we were not required to wear them. In some of the ports, we were required to wear them when going ashore or when not actively eating or drinking. Truly this was no big deal. Hopefully science will tell as to whether or not the masks actually do anything to mitigate the spread of COVID or other infections, but this was the protocol at the time, and we could stay at home and not wear a mask, or go on a cruise and have to wear a mask sometimes. We obviously like the latter option much better!

We only had to wear the masks for a few minutes at a time. Even my friend’s son wore his. He was so cute because when we’d finish a meal, we’d say to him “Lets get your mask on” and then he would so cutely say “Mask On”. He’d only needed it until he got outside or back to his room. This is not like traveling on a plane where travelers have to wear a mask for hours at a time or being at school all day with a mask on.

Cruising during this period, when the CDC oddly decided that they would issue a warning against cruising, meant that many passengers cancelled or just didn’t book. That meant that we had only about 880 guests on our cruise. Dining was virtually open seating, though we did usually come no later than 6:30 because we had a small child with us. It also meant that the buffet was navigable. I have often complaints on a full ship that the lunch buffet was completely overcrowded with no place to sit. If the weather is not conducive to folks eating outside on a full ship, it can be impossible to find a place to eat at lunch. That is such a shame because the lunchtime buffet food is pretty darn good, but if there is no place to sit, you can’t enjoy it. I really loved the fact that only ½ the tables were ever occupied. Most days we were even able to get one of the large round booths which worked well for a somewhat squirmy toddler. We were so spoiled. I know we will miss these days when ships are sailing full again.

Entertainment Celebrity features three basic types of entertainment: Production Cast, Touring Featured Entertainers, and house bands/performers. The production singers and dancers put on the juke box musical shows that they feature in the main theater, and sometimes a pop-up show or another special event.

The touring artists are specialty acts like singers, violinists, singing groups, and comedians. Traditional these acts might come and go mid cruise, but with COVID, I believe that they are coming on ships for a few weeks at a time and then moving on to another ship. These artists generally perform with the live orchestra in the main theater. Shows are about 45 minutes. The final category are the house bands and performers that might perform poolside or in the smaller venues or provide the dance music for the parties. While the production shows and house bands were the same entertainers featured during my Nov/Dec 2021 cruise, the guest specialty acts were completely different.

There were several outstanding female vocalists in the production cast but the blonde who sang “Sound of Silence” stood out to me most. I also enjoyed the dancers airialist and acrobats. That acts never get old to me.

They had two house bands, one which specialized in ballroom rhythms for standard and traditional songs. Guests who are ballroom dancers can now find a time set aside just for them every evening with live ballroom music. Several guitar and vocal soloists and duos also performed in the lounges as well as a classical violin and guitar duo performed quite often in the ensemble lounge.

My favorite act had to be Icelandic Violinist and vocalist Greta Solome. She represented Iceland in the real Eurovision song contest but was also somehow involved in the music for the Will Ferrel comedy Eurovision the Story of Fire Saga. She even sang the Oscar nominated song Husivik My Hometown during the show.

My next favorite act was the Shamrock Tenors from Belfast, Northern Ireland who sang a great variety of traditional and popular Irish songs. They really made their sets fun with humorous lyrics and infectious energy. Finally, rounding out the list of guests were a musical comedian and David Tan a classical piano player who played movie themes. He and Greta even gave an assist to the Shamrock Tenors who are normally 4 strong but had a member that had to quarantine in Miami due to a COVID exposure. They said he’d be back soon, but the help from Greta and David was quite endearing and we got to see more of their talent as well. That enthusiastic collaboration between artists is one of the things we have loved about the entertainment on Celebrity. They even collaborated on an encore performance in the atrium on the last night of the cruise.

The final entertainer I enjoyed in the theatre was a master of the Zylosynth instrument. Very fun and entertaining.
