Drinks are very expensive. i don't know if you do alcohol, but a long island was $11.00! crazy. we had fun; and yes, there were a lot of kids, but they had an adult only deck. Make sure to get there earlyearly if you want a spot though! :) Our cruise had a sushi bar for free before dinner and we devoured it. haha. we tried to go to the places not right off the port to buy souvys. it's cheaper if you go into the kinda shady shacks, but roed (pronounced red.. our last name is roedding) grew up in africa, so i feel safe with him :) <br />well... i hope you have a blast! it is very very fun :)kELLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773751742692303598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228495710640193372.post-33602892110996284272010-08-09T22:57:06.582-04:002010-08-09T22:57:06.582-04:00Hey there...I was cruising around the blogosphere ...Hey there...I was cruising around the blogosphere and popped by your little site. I read your posts and immediately stopped at this one. You are actually coming to my side of the world. I live in Trinidad. That's the most southern of all the Caribbean islands. I've been to every Caribbean island, so I KNOW you are going to enjoy it. St. Thomas and St. Lucia are my fav...but Barbados is also very beautiful too. Take extra insect repellant; and extra sunscreen (I've lived in this area my whole life and I still get horrible sunburns - the sun is really hot here.) Don't eat ANYTHING from any vendor off the side of the street (unless a reliable local tells you otherwise or you see other locals buying from there) Because of the location the tides in the Caribbean are pretty strong, so be careful when swimming...but mostly, enjoy it. It's a really gorgeous place, it's a vacation that you'll completely enjoy. Anything more you want to know feel free to ask. <br /><br />Marie <a href="http://thethingswefindinside.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Things We Find Inside</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228495710640193372.post-19004151125567341082010-08-09T11:49:00.380-04:002010-08-09T11:49:00.380-04:00I've been to St. Thomas, Samia Bay, and Tortol...I've been to St. Thomas, Samia Bay, and Tortolla!! All BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to go on another cruise but Steve thinks he may get bored on the boat... Im like hell no you wont theres soo much to do!<br />I'm totally freakin jealous over here!!<br /><br />I loved my cruise ship, yes the days at sea can drag because your waiting to be on a island but theres usually so much to do on the boat its fun!!! We can an inside cabin with no windows which throws off your sense of daylight and time like crazy, and if which really stinks is that you drink on the boat and at the very end you get your bill for allllll your drinks.. so you have to be aware of how much you buy bc I've heard of bills being crazy amounts bc of that.<br />But I'd def recommend a crusie!!! They are sooo fun!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323598718519423644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228495710640193372.post-59949567315459013172010-08-09T03:13:25.797-04:002010-08-09T03:13:25.797-04:00i've never been on a cruise but it sounds supe...i've never been on a cruise but it sounds super fun! i would go if i could! and that would be the perfect grad present to yourself :)<br />xoxo, jamie<br />also...i left an award for you on my blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530351627686066396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228495710640193372.post-8467185518117662652010-08-09T00:08:18.447-04:002010-08-09T00:08:18.447-04:00Ahhhhhh, I'm so jealous.

I found you on 20sb and think your doggie and little site in general are super cute! :) We just got back from a cruise last month! <br /> We went to Hawaii with Norwegian and had a great time. We were worried about having an "interior" room. It felt small at first, but by the end, it was super-cozy. You get used to it, and honestly- we were RARELY in our room. If it is a matter or 50 or so dollars to upgrade, then that's one thing. HOwever, with NCL, it was OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive to upgrade and would NOT have been worth it. <br /> As far as spending money on the ship- NCL charges a certain amount of gratuity per person per day...that showed up on our invoice. We were not surprised at all by our "invoice" at the end of the week b/c we KEPT TRACK of what we were spending. Just keep in mind that the room card is tied to your CREDIT CARD. When you drink/go on an excursion, etc., you are spending money! Our neighbors' bill was nearly 5,000 because they just didn't think to pay attention. Alcohol, in my opinion, is the biggest culprit when it comes to $$$ on ships. Just be careful- set limits BEFORE you leave your room and you will have a GREAT TIME! :) Enjoy it!!!!! WE love cruising! <br /><br />Sorry this was so long....
