Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the biggest differences with a Caribbean cruise is the embarcation process. And with P and O cruises, it is super easy.
Both Britannia and Avia only sail the Caribbean from November to March.
I've also booked several shore excursions with Caribbean island tours and Caribbean cruise excursions. You save they benefit.
The good news is it's warm all year. The main cruise season runs from November to April.
