Nice cruise. 20% added to all bar bills. Crew and staff very friendly. All excursions stop for shopping. Excursion spots get crowded with tourists since everyone is going the same spots at the same time.

Favorite port. Went on the Plantation tour. Raining very hard. Got soaked. Not worth the $$. Rented a car on day two and did our own thing. Very fun.
