Another option for a Caribbean vacation is the all inclusive resort holidays, a great choice for the budget conscious traveller. Room, food, entertainment, are all included in one low price, and the food is usually buffet style, to accommodate a variety of tastes.

The Dominican Republic has some very good ones, though do always check to see how far away from the airport and the main attractions of the locale your resort is, and whether or not you will need a rental car.

Many places offer free shuttle service to all the main attractions, and/or offer daily tours, but if you want to go off the beaten path, you may need to add a rented car to your package.

When you are looking for a hotel, resort, or cruise ship, make sure it has the activities that you are most interested in, swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing and so on. Comparison shop on cruise ships in terms of price, type of room, inside and outside, with or without balcony, and above all, which ports of call you will get to enjoy.

If you are choosing the locale yourself, make sure there is enough to do for the time you are going to stay there, and contingency plans if the weather does not turn out as great as you hope.

With sunshine, good food and stunning natural features guaranteed, your vacation in the Caribbean, whichever island you choose, is sure to be unforgettable.

Caribbean culture is a vibrant mix of African, Indigenous, European and North American traditions. This has resulted in unique forms of dance, art, architecture, language, cuisine and much more.

During your vacation, you may like to wander through museums of Caribbean art, visit a traditional village or witness a national dance performance. The music of the Caribbean – reggae, salsa and soca are just a few of the styles are an essential part of everyday life. Rhythm and soul are very important to many people in the Caribbean islands.

You will find a very laid back atmosphere, but do keep in mind that you can’t be too relaxed, as crime against tourists happens all over the world now.

Each of the Caribbean Islands has its own special appeal, and the most difficult decision will be deciding between them for your vacation. Another good choice might be to select a cruise for 7 to 10 days, so you can experience various ports of call.

Cruise ships for the Caribbean mainly leave from the Gold Coast of Florida, but you can usually find trips from various ports of call up and down the Eastern seaboard, and the Gulf coast of Texas too.

The great thing about a cruise is that food, accommodation, transportation, and entertainment are pretty much all included in the one price. Pack and unpack once, and yet get to experience a wide variety of relaxing and romantic spots.

The whole aspect of life on board ship is also very laid back, though it can be as active as you want it to be, with swimming pools, rock walls, casinos, and all manner of other actitivies you can participate in.
