Going on a cruise… I just have a few simple questions, I hope!?

So im going on a cruise in april for our family vacation. Ive never been on a cruise, and im so excited! We’re going in the Caribbean, and stopping in Jamaica and Mexico. But I have a few questions? First of all, I want to know if im going to have to be under adult supervision the whole time? im 17, twin sisters are 15. Are we going to have to follow my parents around all day? or can we just go do our own thing? Like can my parents go swimming while I go and get a massage or something? And that leads to my second question: to get massages and stuff, will it cost extra? (besides tipping). Or can I just like walk in and say I want a massage? because if so… i’d be in there all day. haha

Also, are we going to need passports if we’re docking and getting off in mexico, and jamaica and the cayman islands? (btw… what territory are the cayman islands in? just wondering.)

and, will I need to get shots and vaccines since we’ll be doing things off the ship in mexico in rainforests and stuff.

Carnival Cruise lines, specially the ship "Dream"…help please!?!?

My sister in law and I have been looking for cruises during July. It’s just going to be four of us (my bf, me, her and her husband) and since it’s the first time my bf and I will cruise and we REALLY need a vacation, we thought it would be fun to go on the Dream cruise. My sis in law thinks it’s too expensive for her and her husband since they have other vacation plans with their kids as well. Also, they feel it’s too long and they’ve cruise a few times before and they told us that by the 5th day you really just want to get out of the ship. The Dream Cruise goes for a whole week and the itinerary I was looking at was for the Bahamas, St.Thomas, and St. Marteen. Now we really want a ship that goes that way but that we don’t have to fly into P.R to get to it. Is there any other ships that cruise to the east part of the caribbean but leave from Miami and that are 3-5 days? Or that go to Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and Mexico? During July only!

Help please
Oh and if you’ve been on the Dream, is it fun? Is it better to go in a group or more fun if I just go with my bf?
Milkman: Thank you for telling me that it’s not boring to be on a cruise ship for more than 5 days. Like I you know, I have a boyfriend and I have NO clue why you would even bring up all the dirty stuff you can do on a cruise ship. I leave that for skanks and whores. I’m not one of those type of girls

New to cruising, want a relaxing vacation.?

While spending as little as we can, we have around 00 but are saving more. Me and my mother(ages 28 and 58) are looking to go on a nice relaxing cruise. I don’t want the party ships our main interests are the swimming pools and good spas, good food, and the best beaches and snorkeling at the best islands in the Caribbean. This will probably be in the fall Sept-Oct. We do want at least a week if not a few days more. I do not want to go to Mexico, Jamaica, or the Cayman Islands. We are mostly interested in the Easter or Southern Caribbean. Also we are looking into either Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, or Norwegian Cruise Line. What cruise line would be better and if you know of a good cruise that meets what we want let me know.

Best Caribbean island vacation?

My wife and I have been to Aruba, Jamaica, Cancun, and Costa Rica. We are trying to decide between trying something new or going back to Aruba. We are currently looking into St. Martin mostly, but will consider alternate suggestions. The things we love about Aruba: Direct, nonstop flights from DC; it’s relatively safe – you don’t see guys walking around with machine guns patrolling the borders of your hotel/compound; Awesome restaurants and food; beautiful beaches and snorkeling; excellent bus system-cheap and easy so you don’t need a rental car; plus casinos and nightlife. We are looking at St.Martin because they also have direct flights from DC, but we will consider other destinations too. Does anyone have an opinion on where we should go?
Yes, we’ve been to the Mediterranean and would love to go back but airfare right now is a bit outrageous. Mallorca is our dream retirement destination!

Longer Caribbean cruise or more time in the keys?

I am going on vacation this summer to the Caribbean and the keys. I booked a 5 night Caribbean cruise that goes to the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. Afterwards, I planned on going to the keys for five days. However, I can change the cruise to a 7 night cruise and go to Cozumel, Mexico as well. And it’s only like 0 more for the longer cruise when you factor hotels, food, and car rental for the keys. But, I would be limited to only 2 days in the keys. Should I change the cruise or not? And if you have been to the keys, which are you favorite?
And the longer cruise is a much nicer ship.

Jamaica vacation??

Okay..I want to know…

Is Jamaica the only island in the caribbean that is "filthy and poor" to tourists.

I’ve been to Jamaica and found the island to be very beautiful from the resort to actual country itself..it’s an artpiece to me. Plus it’s BOTH relaxed and party attitutude..you can choose whichever you want to be..

But, tourist keep saying Jamaica is so filthy..as if it’s the most poor and filthy island of the entire caribbean..

People talk like they know Jamaica like the back of there hands..saying "Jamaica is messed up by poverty and drug trade.." they say that as if they read that out of a book instead of having there own experience..

It seems they have been scared to venture out…by hear-say..

I mean Jamaica is a THIRD world country..what do people expect?

What i want to know is…Is Jamaica the most filthy and poor island of all the caribbean b/c I don’t hear anything about any other island…?

*Jamaicans..don’t get offended. I LOVE jamaica..*
