Thanks for the info...Will definitely check out the cruise website...
Another question...I have recently heard about a Malaria scare in the DR..near the Punta Cana area. Were you concerned about that? Did you take anti Malaria medication?

Diana - loved the report! I, too, was reluctant to cruise, but by BF and I went on one for New Year's 2 years ago to try something different. I don't think I'd do it again, because I also like to explore places.

I laughed when I read your bar tab was $2000 for 4. Ours (for 2), was almost $1000. We hit the martini bar every night for cocktail hour, a bottle of wine with dinner, Spanish coffees in the piano bar after dinner, and of course - New Year's Eve! It was fun, but not cheap!

Yup, the bar tab alone is enough to make me stay away from cruising.

Thanks for pulling your report up Diana.I enjoyed the read.We had considered a cruise before.Now that I have read your report..I think that I will just stick to going to an island as I like to learn the culture,explore and do not wanna feel rushed to do things to get back to the ship.After this read..I think that I would like to go to Grenada and DR oneday.
