The Caribbean has the widest range of ships of any region, from mega-resorts to small luxury yachts. Sorting by ship quality is the fastest way to find the right one. Here's every Caribbean ship in the index, ranked.
Norwegian Epic leads at 9.4 out of 10 — 7 nights from $349 per person. A Value Score of 5.0 means a sailing costs what genuinely comparable cruises cost: same class of ship, same region, similar length. Above 5.0 the fare beats that going rate.

The Caribbean sails year-round. December to April is the dry, reliable high season (and the priciest). August to October is hurricane season: fares drop, but itineraries can change on short notice. Late spring is the sweet spot for weather-versus-price.
