We did the Montego Bay Hip Strip Excursion. It was awful. We rode around for 2.5 hours in an un airconditioned van and finally got to the beach. The tour guide was loud and obnoxious. The beach was dirty and there was no trip to Margaritaville as promised. HUGE disappointment!!! The beach was full of rocks and I tripped and skun up my knees badly. The lifeguard tried to "fix" me up with his disgusting First Aid Kit. I refused, as the supplies were opened and dirty. He was also very intoxicated. Not the type of Royal Caribbean Excursion we are used to after cruising for 20 years with Royal.
