Entertainment

The big shows were amazing. The female comedian was not entertaining at all. The magician was cancelled, which was going to be a highlight.

We did a disappointing ship excursion. We were told two stops with the impression we would snorkel twice. We only stopped at the second site, snorkeled for 45 minutes. Then it became a booze cruise. Not our idea of fun
