Caribbean winter cruises lure travelers with warm seas
Travel agents report a surge in last minute Caribbean and Mexico cruises as a milder dream replaces snow. Prices in winter and spring reportedly 15 to 20 percent lower than last year, aided by more ships. Experts cite harsh weather, full-capacity sailings, and promotions as key drivers. Travelers plan packing around versatile outfits, light layers, and essentials like sunscreen and comfortable footwear for on board and at shore. Professionals advise packing smartly with mix and match basics and noting dress codes for formal nights.
