So picture this: it's March break, you've had it up to here with your office job and you've decided that you're going to get away for the week (maybe a little longer if you can swing it). But where should you go? You've got a million different options to choose from. So, why not a cruise?

What's amazing about a cruise is that everything is included for you, you don't have to cook or clean for yourself (well, showering is always recommended) and you get to enjoy non-stop activities and entertainment.

But this doesn't mean that you shouldn't throw basic safety precautions out the window. According to cruzely.com,  per billion passenger miles, cruise ships have the lowest death rate. However, this does not mean that cases of robbery, assault, and crime are not common occurrences in port cities.

But don't cancel your plans just yet! We have a few suggestions for you about the safest port cities, specifically in the Caribbean.

St Maarten Is The Tourist Hotspot For Carnival Cruise

If you've decided to book with Carnival Cruise line, one of the best places you could visit is St. Maarten. First of all, the U.S. State Travel Advisory rates this small island as "level 1" in terms of safety, which is the lowest rating. As long as you take basic safety precautions (no late-night strolls alone, keep your belongings close to you, etc.), you'll have a great time!

In St Maarten, you can hit the beautiful beaches, such as Little Bay Beach, as soon as you step off the boat!  There are loads of restaurants and snack bars lining the shoreline, as well as loads of shopping opportunities in the city center, Wathey Square.

And the entertainment doesn't stop when you return to the boat. You can enjoy water parks on board, a premium spa and a Sky Zone for your inner adrenalin junkie!

Norwegian Cruise Line Stops In Key West (Where Crime Is Non-Existent)

Norwegian Cruise Line regularly pulls into this port city, so it's bound to be on your radar. If there was ever a place to fully relax in terms of safety, then Key West is that place.

You can experience beaches that have been rated as some of Florida's best beaches. According to US News & World Report, you're guaranteed a "relaxed yet unexpected seaside adventure". You can snorkel or kayak, and even take a bike ride along the waterfront.
