I admit I have no idea which pronounciation is correct.

 

Is it Car-RIB-ee-un or Carib-EE-un?

Both

Both

You suck. LOL

Seems both are 'acceptable' - according to Oxford.

We will actually use both.

 

The name of the cruise line - Royal Car-RIB-ee-un Cruise lines.

 

But when describing the destination will say - ...looking at doing another a Carib-EE-an cruise...

What about Care-a-BEE-in?

That's how my grandfather said it.

Both

 

Same.

 

It's Pirates of the Carib-EE-un.

 

But a hurricane has devastated the Car-RIB-ee-un

Mmm, ribs.

Same.

 

It's Pirates of the Carib-EE-un.

 

But a hurricane has devastated the Car-RIB-ee-un

Exactly what I was about to say.

I say it the first way, but if you're Billy Ocean, you say it the second way.

I use both but Carib-EE-un is my usual go-to.

I say it the first way, but if you're Billy Ocean, you say it the second way.
