Caribbean Cruises More Flexible

Cruises of the Caribbean have been hailed as a more flexible alternative to breaks elsewhere.

Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor in chief of CruiseCritic.com, told the Associated Press that the climate of the Caribbean makes it more of a year-round option for cruise fans.

"With the Caribbean, one of the biggest advantages is there’s simply more choice and it’s a much more flexible option," she said.

"During times of the year when there’s more variety, pricing will be more competitive as well."

Ms Brown’s comments followed research by the Cruise Lines International Association which showed that more than half of people who have never taken a cruise expect to do so within three years.

Caribbean cruises could be more in demand in future with Royal Caribbean’s much-anticipated Oasis of the Seas yet to even set sail.

Launching late next year, the Oasis of the Seas will provide different experiences onboard to suit individual travellers’ tastes.
