Eastern Caribbean vs. Western Caribbean

[ChicosWife]

We took the Western in November and loved it! Grand Cayman was beautiful and we had an amazing time, and Jamaica had a laid back vibe that we loved and had never experience before. I would highly recommend.

I know people travel there safely every day, but after the recent issues with bombs planted on Cozumel ferries, I personally would feel uneasy going into port there.

If I recall correctly the bomb issue happened twice, a few months ago. It was only an issue for excursions taking the ferry. The rest of the island was never considered to be in danger. I think the issue got blown way out of proportion. Precautions were in place when needed and the issue has been resolved to most people's satisfaction.

I find the Eastern very boring - only shopping and beach days. We've had some of our best cruise excursions on the Western itinerary. We've personally never had any issues in either Jamaica or Cozumel. People claim the same things about Nassau (we've never had issues there either).
