Reasons For Many Caribbean
Cruises From Florida

Unlike any other state, Florida holds many advantages which have resulted in the majority of Caribbean cruises from the US's most south-eastern state.

A. Florida's Proximity to the Caribbean - The most obvious reason is that Florida is the closest state to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

While one may have to fly from far to board a Caribbean cruise from Florida, once there you are not far from the islands most visited by Caribbean cruise lines. 

B. Florida's Geographical Layout - Have you noticed? Florida is almost completely surrounded by water. Consequently, the state is a prime location for several Caribbean cruise ports and therefore many cruise sailings.

There are five major cruise ports offering Caribbean cruises from Florida. These Caribbean cruise ports are:

1. Jacksonville Cruise Terminal in the northeast;

2. Port Canaveral in the east;

3. Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) in the southeast;

4. Miami Cruise Port in the south; and,

5. Tampa Cruise Terminal in the southwest.

All five florida cruise terminals together spit out 100's ofCaribbean cruises from the "Sunshine State" each year.

C. Florida's Infrastructure - The state is highly developed with 100's of miles of highway roads and many frequently flown international airports.

The large number of airports, conveniently located near to cruise ports, provide for easy access and therefore many Caribbean cruises from Florida.

D. Prevalence of Family Attractions - Florida may be dubbed as one of the major "family-attraction spots" in the world.

As a result of the large number of family-friendly attractions in Florida, many people travel to the state not just to board a Caribbean cruise, but also to enjoy the attractions before or after a cruise. 

Attractions in Florida include: 

*Walt Disney World

*Universal Studios

*Kennedy Space Center

*Busch Gardens

*The Holy Land Experience

*Wet 'n Wild

*Sea World

With so many attractions in the Sunshine State, can you see why thousands book Caribbean cruises from Florida?
