Question: What are the cruise ship ports of call in the Caribbean?
With cruise ships getting ever-larger, specialized ports are required to accommodate these giants of the sea. Most Caribbean islands have only one major port capable of docking large cruise ships, but some popular destinations -- like Jamaica, for example -- have multiple mega-ports. Smaller islands may have ports that welcome cruise ships of all sizes but can only shuttle passengers to shore via smaller boats called tenders.
