Caribbean Cruise

My wife and I took a cruise back in 2007 and we are
still talking about it... We left Galveston, Tx on a Sunday
and sailed to Jamaica...then to the Grand Caymen Islands...
and then on to Cozumel, Mexico, before returning to
Galveston...
The trip itself was a pleasant surprise. We had packed
Dramamine pills just in case, but we didn't need them. The
ship was smooth and steady.. The time in each port was a
little too short for a real stay, but the tour people keep you
on a tight schedule. Jamaica was extremely poverished but
the people are super nice... The same can be said for
the Grand Caymens.. They even have a Harley Davidson
dealership in Georgetown, Grand Caymens!! Naturally I had
to have a tee shirt from there... Cozumel was mostly a
rebuilt tourist facility. A hurricane the year before had wiped
out the coral reef and most of the coastal city. Now everything
is new and the vendors are after you as soon as you come off
the ship. My buddy bought a hand-made chess set made from
polished marble.. It started out at $135 and he ended up getting
it for $30. NEVER pay the starting price on anything. Negotiation is
the name of the game here.. The nightlife on board the ship is
excellent. The meals are out of this world and one of the many
shows at night allowed us to see Stevie Wonder...He is still
great.. It was a fun trip but we were glad to see TEXAS come
into view the following Sunday...
