No matter what your vacation interests are, there’s a Caribbean experience out there for you. And with all the great destinations Royal Caribbean sails to, you can get there in style!

I Want… The. Best. Shopping.
Are you looking to shop ‘til you drop? Get yourself to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Frommer’s has described this cosmopolitan port as a “shopping mecca,” and the spot is considered one of the best duty-free destinations in the world. Go crazy for brand-name jewelry, clothing, watches, cameras and much more.

I Want… The Beach. That’s Really It.
Is your perfect vacay full of white sand, palm trees… and not much else? Head to Aruba, whose name is synonymous with powder-fine white-sand beaches and calm, clear waters.   And what better way to wrap up your beach day than with a catamaran cruise?
A second opinion: If the ocean is where your heart really goes wild, take a trip to Bonaire in the Dutch Antilles, best known for its snorkeling adventures.

I Want… The Local Fare (Bonus Points If I Get to Learn How to Make It)
Experience the flavors of Jamaica. From the port of Falmouth, try this culinary immersion at an 18th century Great House. You’ll learn how to make Dolphin Cove Special Blend Jerk Sauce and Coconut ‘Run Down’ with Shrimp from Chef Irie using herbs and spices from the house’s own gardens.

I Want… The Great Outdoors
Enjoy some of the best nature has to offer in St. Lucia. Scramble up The Pitons, primeval twin peaks that top 2,000 feet and serve as the island’s most famous landmark.

A second opinion: In Dominica, you can check out volcanic peaks, boiling waters and underwater springs. Adventure awaits!

I Want… A Great Romance
A great way to set the mood is chocolate, right? In the Bahamas, take your sweetie to the Graycliff Chocolatier. You can learn how to make delicious treats like chocolate truffles and bonbons with tropical flavors inspired by the island.

I Want… An Adrenaline Rush, Stat
So hiking just doesn’t cut it for you. Puerto Rico’s Toro Verde Adventure Park holds the holy grail for adrenaline junkies: “La Bestia,” one of the world’s highest and longest zip lines, extending more than 4,700 feet through the forest canopy.
A second opinion: Hang on tight during this dolphin encounter on Grand Cayman. The dolphin glides you through the water as you grip on to its fin.
