It’s worth experiencing but I probably won’t go on another one. Mostly it was eat, drink, eat, drink, check out some entertainment, eat drink some more. All amenities are extra so plan on spending the cost of your ticket again. ‘All inclusive’ is misleading, you’re constantly being tempted with extras. Yeah shopping mall at sea is about right except you can’t leave when you want, so spend more $. I prefer to rent a condo and a car so I can plan my own excursions on my own timeframe. The “cattle” comment is probably pretty accurate.
Yep, not a fan of the big ocean cruises at all. I don't get the appeal. If I wanted to see a foreign country in the Caribbean, I'd just hit up an all-inclusive resort and go on a few tours. I wouldn't do a villa or vacation rental until I knew the area.
