Review summary
The only negative thing that I have to say is about a port of call, not Carnival. Jamaica is not at all what I expected. Most of the locals seemed like they were trying to hustle us. $5/person for a ride to a beach, $5/person to get into the beach (surrounded by a barbed wire fence), $5/person to get picked up from beach (which ended up being only 2 miles from ship), while on the beach, "$60 for a massage" "$60 to braid your hair" "buy my CD mon", $5/person for any additional stop. I know that to many countries, Americans are still looked at as being wealthy, even during this recession, but come on!Ship experiences
