I've only been to the western carrib. From what I once read, I think that some of the eastern carrib have four destinations, instead of three. However, some of those cruises may travel trough the Atlantic which is a little rougher than the gulf.

Most people (cruisers) like to try different places, one or two at a time. Most like trying different places each time they cruise.

Personally, due to time and not liking to fly, I usually cruise from home, to the west cribb, and back home.
But then I am not the typical cruiser. I go just to get away (even if it is same thing each time) and leave the driving to the captain or his officers.

I would have a hunch that most others will choose the eastern carribean.

good luck

Yup, eastern.

(shopping is better in St Maarten than St Thomas......................at least for beer)

It depends on what you like to do. I've been to all three. My very first cruise onboard the Jubliee was to the eastern. I was in college and it was a lot of fun. I'm not much of a shopper so basically just hung out at the beach in the bahamas, then hung around Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas (Love St. Thomas) and did the horseback riding thing in Puerto Rico. The only place I would visit again would be St. Thomas which I did on my next cruise to the southern caribbean. On the Festivale, we took off from San Juan, which I don't think I ever want to visit again, and we went as far south as Barbados. Barbados was wonderful, we hired a taxi driver to take us around the island and then finished the day at the beach. Did the beach thing in Martinque and St. Marten/Sint Martin. On thing I didn't like about this cruise was there were way too many stops. We also stopped at Dominica and as I said earlier, St. Thomas. My third cruise on the Destiny was the western caribbean. We loved it so much we did the exact same itinerary on the Triumph (Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios). Love Grand Cayman. My perfect cruise would be to St. Thomas, Grand Cayman and Barbados.

I think all three itineraries are wonderful and there are places I love and places I don't care to visit again, San Juan and Jamaica just to name a few.

My question is, what about the Mexican Riviera? I haven't done that yet and I'm wondering if it's the same, better or worse than the caribbean. We're thinking of that for our next cruise in 2007, otherwise maybe the exoctic southern caribbean but i've heard "not so good" things about Belize and Costa Maya. However I would love to see the panama canal.

Any other thoughts?
