St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean's most topographically dramatic islands, defined by the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons rising sharply from the southwestern coast. The Castries cruise port sits on the island's northwest side, with ships docking at either Pointe Seraphine (a duty-free shopping complex within walking distance of downtown Castries) or the La Place Carenage terminal on the opposite side of the harbor.

Belize City is the largest city in Belize, a small Central American country on the Caribbean coast known for its barrier reef (the second largest in the world), jungle ruins, and laid-back culture. The city itself has about 60,000 residents and a rough, unpolished feel that can surprise passengers expecting a typical Caribbean port.

Cozumel cruise port is one of the busiest in the Caribbean, with multiple ships docking on the island every day during peak season. Cozumel is a flat, laid-back island off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it's been a cruise staple for decades.
