Being from Florida, we decided last minute to take a cruise during the holiday weekend and it was a fun time. The food and staff were great and very friendly. On the island of Coco Cay, I was a little thrown back at how expensive all the other amenities were. I would much rather this price be included in the price of the cruise and be included for guest once on the island. I can understand why jet ski's would need to be rented of course, but there is no reason to not lend out a few paddle boards or rafts. There was even a huge water slide that no one was using because it cost $24 dollars to go down it a few times. Other than that, the beach was clean and the crew and staff did a wonderful job at throwing a huge beach party. On the day to the Atlantis, we chose not to do Atlantis either because of the prices of the excursions. I've cruised many times before and I didnt remember the excursions being to expensive, so instead we enjoyed the afternoon on the boat. Overall it was a very pleasant weekend. I'm not sure if I'd do this same itinerary again, but I'd recommend it to anyone who's not done it already.
