UkuleleCruiser Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 What, if anything, did you like in the cruise villages that RCCI, Carnival, and others have built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 They're safe and some provide some very nice beaches. Plus, it's convenient to get back to the ship. They also tend to have some very large and nice pools. Personally, I don't like them, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerel Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very touristy but good if you want a quick easy souvenir, maybe for friends or family back home. My wife won't go anywhere without getting a magnet or mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Cruise villages = shopping on private islands? Or did you mean something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkuleleCruiser Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I meant the shops and cafes and bars where you get off the ship or tendering boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweety Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 In Falmouth, I go to the local grocery store to get my authentic jerk seasoning and coconut milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do not shop/dine there, but occasionally it has worked out well for providing an easy to grab item. In St. Maarten, my wife's sunglasses broke so we stopped in quickly to grab one. The authenticity of most of the establishments is far from UNESCO worthy, but I do believe it is better than just a dock and nothing around. donolog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
