Creator's Key Takeaways

Western Caribbean is just a fantastic Cruise I love Western Caribbean cruises there's so many places for easy departure

Cozumel is a great infrastructure for cruise ships because it's evolved to be probably the fourth or fifth largest cruise ship port in the entire world

Grand Cayman has the world famous Seven Mile Beach and you can take a bus to get over to the beach so it can be an inexpensive stop

Jamaica is absolutely a gorgeous Island however with recent events uh before I travel I would check the state department's website

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take at least a five-day cruise to pack in a lot of vacation due to sea days
βœ“Check the state department's website for travel advisories before going to Jamaica
βœ“Book the seven fathoms Distillery tour online and take a taxi cab over there
