We are big fans of the cruising lifestyle here at Living the Dream and have been on 3 amazing itineraries throughout the Caribbean and are considering a fourth to Alaska in the near future. While we are primarily a backpacking and adventure travel blog, we often like to talk about why you should consider a cruise for both short vacations and inclusions in a long-term adventure. But us talking about how much we enjoy cruising is not going to convince you to book a trip. We've done that enough in our older posts. Instead, it is the destinations themselves that must do the talking. To do so, we picked our 7 favorite reasons to help make our argument.Reason #1 - San Juan, Puerto Rico
The stunning coastline and fort in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
Reason #2 - Saint Thomas
Sail boats off the coastline of Saint Thomas, USVI
Reason #3 - Dominica
Middleham Falls and a gorgeous emerald lagoon.
Reason #4 - Barbados
The stunning beaches and palm trees of Barbados
Reason #5 - Saint Kitts
Saint Kitts rolling hills at sunset.
Reason #6 - Saint Maarten
The arrival of the Air France jetliner over Maho Beach in Saint Maarten
Reason #7 - Saint Lucia
The two majestic Pitons of Saint Lucia.
If you haven't figured out, there is not much to say when your reasons are seven of the most beautiful destinations on the planet! But why does this make the case for cruising? Well, we went to these seven Caribbean islands on just one cruise of 7-days in duration. A new island every day, and a new paradise to explore and only paid $350 per person for a discounted cruise to do it all.
So we will ask one more time, who wants to go cruising?
