Carribean = Ca-rib-BEE-an (slight emphasis on 3rd syllable) in UK. US = Cu-RIB-ian as I remember.
I've certainly heard both among US'ns.
if you call the disneyland ride "Pirates of the Cu-RIB-ian", your friends and family will laugh at you. evidently it's an iambic quadrameter (?) thing
Hmm, that would require you to say PY ruts OF the CAIR uh BEE un. I like the swing of PY ruts of the cuh RIB ee un better.
