Review summary

This was my 5th RC cruise. I love the company and ships. I wasn’t overly impressed with our itinerary but decided to do a local cheaper cruise rather that a Carribean cruise and stay. Weather wasn’t great. Cloudy and cold wind.

Walked to the Town centre. Took about 25-30 minutes but was approached twice by men asking if we wanted any drugs within the first 5-10 minutes walk! This made us feel uneasy. There was a lot of shops in the centre and it was okay there.
