Your Summer Doesnt Have to End so Quick with a Caribbean Cruise Vacation

By Ric Henderson

It is hard to believe that August is already here and will be gone before you know it. What that usually means is a sad face as the summer has slipped away and a full winter of work lies ahead. Not so fast my friend, save one of those weeks of vacation that you still have and extend your summer with a Caribbean Cruise Vacation.

There is just something about the sunshine that makes everything better. Your spirits get lifted and life just seems better in general. For most people, especially those on the east coast, the end of August signals the end of the fun and sun in the beach. If you want to change that outlook, start planning a Caribbean Cruise and give yourself some to look forward to.

One of the Caribbean Cruise Vacation destinations that you may want to check out is the Western Caribbean. This is probably the most popular of all and that is very easy to understand why with destinations like Mexico, Princess Cays, Cozumel, Jamaica and the Grand Cayman. If you have never taken a cruise, this is a great first choice.

The Eastern Caribbean also has plenty of excellent ports. Some of the destinations here are worthy of longer stays so you may want to look into a destination cruise instead of a multi-port cruise. Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Marteen have some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Other activities to enjoy are rock climbing, exploring the rainforest and lots of great shopping.

Maybe you have been on one of the busier cruises before and would prefer something that goes somewhere more remote so you can truly unwind from your busy life. If that is the case, you can find no better place that the South Caribbean. It is just as beautiful as any of the other areas, but it is just a bit more remote and less crowded.

Once you know where you want to go, the next decision you will have to make is how long of a vacation that you are going to take. There are cruises ranging anywhere from 3 " 8 days or more. If you really want to keep the summer going, split that vacation week up and take a couple of long weekends.

Even if you do decide to break up your days, make sure at some point that you do take one of the longer Caribbean Cruise Vacations. For most people, 4 days is just not enough time to enjoy everything that his part of the world has to offer. Beautiful islands, incredible food and some of the best scenery in the world is something that you can never get tired of.

When you want to extend that summer, you need to seriously consider going on a Caribbean Cruise Vacation. In all honesty, they cost nothing more than a week at the shore would cost you and you are getting so much more for your money. Do something different this year and take a cruise to the Caribbean!
