It must be noted that you will need to make your own arrangements for transportation to your ship and departure port.

Once you arrive at ship side, just about everything is taken care of for you.

This will allow you to leave the ship in port and get back on board when you are through with your tours or town visit.

After you have settled in, your ships staff will notify you of your dining area and you will be given the opportunity to choose your dining time, either early or late dining. After you have been informed where you'll be seated for meals, you may want to take a tour around the ship. You'll need time to find things and the different places you'll be using during your voyage.

As the ship leaves port, you will be on your way to an exciting adventure and fun times ahead. It's just about meal time and that will give you a chance to meet your service staff. These are the folks that will be helping you at meal time. These people are kind, and are there to make your meal a very enjoyable experience.

After your meal, you can sit back, relax and enjoy a show, take in a movie or spend some time in the gaming area. Probably, your next day you'll be pulling into some port like Belize City, Grand Cayman or maybe Cozumel. There're also places like Montego Bay in Jamaica or a very pretty part of Mexico, a small town called Playa Del Carmen. Each port usually offers enough time to book a tour of the area. Check with the ship tour booking office.

Finally, the trip must come to an end. You'll have some wonderful memories for ever. Once docked in port, you'll need to settle up on any money you owe. You should be aware that you should save back enough money to leave a nice tip to your staff who met your needs while on board. Surely you'll be telling all your friends about your Western Caribbean Cruise and the lifetime of memories you have gained.
