Books on caribbean ports?

[dorisis]

I have the Fodor's Ports of Call. Can you recommend any other books that might be helpful? ~Doris~

Try Caribbean Ports of Call by Kay Showker. The latest edition was published

in Oct. 2011.

I go to my local library, and check out books on all the ports I go to, plus the popular travel ones- Fodor's, Frommer's, Lonley Planet, National Geographic, etc.

 

For me, researching a port is part of the fun:D

Online research can be helpful as well, many sites are great resources for information on island customs, foods, accommodations, etc. Just googling turns up some interesting information.

DK Eyewitness Travel Caribbean I think is one of the best books out there.

I personally like the "Unoffcial Guides".. they give unusual information(ex: where to find bathrooms and how to avoid crowds) along with the basics. I know they have an unoffical guide to cruises, probably to the Caribbean too. I am reading their guide to New Orleans right now.
