From the publisher

Subtropical temperatures, gentle trade winds, vibrant colors, luscious foliage, and exotic menus-the splendor of the Caribbean and the pleasures of cruising make an unbeatable combination. Cruise expert Kay Showker shows how to plan a carefree vacation at sea and in port, including valuable information on shore excursions. Created for all budgets and tastes, Caribbean Ports of Call includes detailed profiles of the major cruise lines and their ships, as well as practical advice on selecting and reserving the ideal cruise vacation.

Bringing together the author's two previous Ports of Call books (covering the Eastern and Western Caribbean), Caribbean Ports of Call also covers shore excursions through the entire Caribbean-those islands most frequently visited by the major cruise lines-plus the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. It covers:

* The Bahamas and the Out Islands-Nassau, Freeport, the Biminis, the Abacos, Eleuthera, and many more
* British Virgin Islands-Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada

* Cayman Islands-Grand Cayman

* Central America-Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and the San Blas Islands

* Eastern Caribbean-Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados

* Key West-Duval Street, Mallory Square, Caroline Street

* Jamaica-Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Kingston

* Mexican Caribbean-Cozumel, Playa del Carmen/Calica, Cancn, Costa Maya

* Puerto Rico-San Juan, Ponce

* Southern Caribbean-Trinidad and Tobago, Bonaire, Curaao, Aruba

* St. Maarten/St. Martin-Dutch Windward Islands, Philipsburg, Marigot, Saba, St. Eustatius, Anguilla

* U.S. Virgin Islands-St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix

"The bible on the Caribbean, not just for cruise ship passengers."
-Los Angeles Times (for Caribbean Ports of Call: Eastern and Southern)

From the rear cover

A top expert helps you find the line, the ship, and the excursions for your tastes and your pocketbook. It is a world both foreign and familiar--an exotic world of vivid color and gentle trade winds. Paradise, the Caribbean is often called, and you will see why as your ship glides gently through aquamarine and sapphire waters to reach places thick with tropical greenery down to their white-sand shorelines. With this guide, cruise expert Kay Showker brings together in one volume all the information you need to plan a carefree vacation at sea and in port. She covers ports of call and shore excursions throughout the Caribbean and beyond--setting out from the Bahamas, as well as the Turks and Caicos, to Key West and the Northern Caribbean and on south through the Eastern and Southern Caribbean to Aruba; and those ports and excursions west from Jamaica to the Mexican Caribbean, Central America, and the Panama Canal. Created for all budgets and tastes, Caribbean Ports of Call also includes detailed profiles of the major cruise lines and their ships, as well as practical advice on selecting and reserving the ideal cruise vacation.
