my understanding is that prime rib is extra. all inclusive is not exactly true on cruise ships (again, using royal as an example). upon entering the ship one needs to leave their credit card details. better food - and the booze - cost money. miesposo was on a cruise in march/april and forked out extra cash on various things. heck, i still have the bottomless coca-cola cup he paid 20 bucks for in order to have unlimited access to refrescos.

so there will be peeps interested in langosta and shrimps in maimon as they would be charged extra on the ship. now, the question is, will salpicon de mariscos still cost 300 pesos, like i paid not too long ago? or will it cost 800?

Having been on several cruises, I can state that it is all inclusive with two exceptions; specialty restaurants, and alcohol. At least this is the case with carnival. I surprised at the quality of the food. Seafood, and steaks are regularly served at the evening meal. In fact, I once ordered two steaks for myself at the same meal.
My cheap azz elected to subsidize our liquor bill by refilling a large Listerine bottle with our choice of booze and green food coloring.

That very same type of action happened several years ago west of Kite Beach in Cabarete where squatters were living along the ocean front. I never saw people here move so fast. About 100 homes destroyed, including some large cement block homes and businesses, and all traces vanished within a week.

Did they have to use tear gas this time?
