“The best thing to do about the Caribbean is stay away.”
When I cruise, I don’t even get off the ship anymore. The Caribbean is horrible. I only cruise to get away from work. I’m on call 24x7 and it’s the only vacation I know where they can’t recall me.
Often, we stay onboard while in port, except sometimes we have bought meds if a pharmacy is right at the pier. (Would never do that again with the fentanyl issue now.)
That’s the best time to be on the ship, since the majority of people are off in the filthy towns.
