My vacation was absolutely spectacular. If you have never been on a cruise, GO!! It was wonderful. The ship I was on was huge. With the crew and the guests there was over 5k people on board.
Of all of the ports, Jamacia was my favorite. The atmosphere was very nice. I was offered weed and coke numerous times which wasn't that fun, but I had a good time. One thing that I wasn't prepared for was the hassling that you get when shopping. In Haiti, if you saw something that you thought was nice they were already bagging it up for you before you even knew the price. By the time I got to Mexico I learned how to bargin and bargin well. I got a pair of very nice earrings for my sister-in-law for $15. The guy started out at $45. One guy tried to sell me a necklace for my brother for $30 and I got him down to $10.
I went on two excursions. One in Jamacia, one in Grand Cayman. Jamacia was a Glass bottom boat of sorts. You walked down some stairs on the boat and there was glass so you could see the reef and all the fish. In Grand Cayman I went snorkling in stingray city. That excursion was okay. It would have been better if I didn't panic in the water cause I felt like I was drowning. :(
I got lots of alchohol. It's incredibly cheap. I got a big bottle of Bicardi 151 for $6. I got some tequila, kahlua, Jamician rum, flavored rum, and citrus vodka. I think I spent maybe $20 - $25 on all of that.
Awesome trip, I can't wait to go again. :)
