Jamaica is growing popular as a cruise destination and it is said that almost half of the travelers to Caribbean annually wants to visit Jamaica. They hear about the warm weather, lovely white sand beaches, the people and rich culture and want to experience the real Jamaican life.
What happens next is they get a sample of the offerings and fall deeply in love and want more than just a short stay; majority of them returns for longer stay at the resorts.
This popularity has grown so much that during the high season bookings have to be made months in advance.
Some people like the idea of having the activities and amenities on board and they get to enjoy a little of what each port has to offer. When you choose a western Caribbean cruise it will take you to Jamaica, however, most of the cruise into the Caribbean start from Florida.
The best time for a cruise is during the holidays and winter season as travelers are in search of warmth. The popular holiday cruises are Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Easter. The season between Decembers to early part of April will have higher prices as this period is very popular.
If you are on a budget and want to experience the Caribbean the best times would be in the spring time. There is one drawback with a cruise at this time because of the hurricanes, but you will really get to enjoy a vacation.
These trips are also very flexible and you get cruises to Jamaica that will last for one day, two days or one or two weeks. But however you choose to spend your time or what time of year you get to the island, you are guaranteed to enjoy all that it has to offer.
