The only thing you need to be aware of is that depending on when you're planning to go, there could be alot of foreigners, Puerto Ricans, or children onboard your ship. I don't point this out to be prejudice or as a bad thing, but just providing additional information to you for consideration.
Often, especially on Princess, they'll offer some really great rates on B2B cruises for foreigners. For example; last year when we went on the Crown, about half the ship was filled with Englanders. What amazed me was that the price they paid for B2B with airfare was about what Americans were playing just for a one-week cruise without airfare. Princess is one of a few cruise lines that will not let U.S. agents sell to foreigners with overseas adresses. I guess it's because of the whopping good deals that we can't get.
We had a wonderful time and made some new friends. But another time our ship was full of Germans. And yet another time, it was full of Puerto Ricans and alot of noisey kids - school was out down there while up here, school was still in session. When the ships aren't real full, they'll offer a special for the locals to fill the space, such was the case on that cruise.
Europeans love the Southern Caribbean more than the Eastern or Western Caribbean because of the diverse international culture down there, lots of ports, and the fact it hasn't become quite so Americanized, yet. This makes for a very interesting and educational cruise, and is one of our favorite places to cruise.
