Hello Ladies,
Trust me when I say, you will LOVE the resort experience! My partner and I have gone on 7 Olivia trips so far, this will be our 8th, and only one of them was a cruise.
We like the freedom of being able to do what we want, when we want, vs on a cruise, you are limited at times. With the resorts, there is so much to do, all included, that if you don't want to spend another dime once you get there, you don't have to, and your vacation will still be full!
There are of course some wonderful excursions you can go on (various fees) some are only a couple hours, some are all day trips. We have been on some wonderful excursions, from snorkeling in bat caves and lobster lunch on the beach, to sunset cruises, to shopping trips, where you can get some of the local "flavor".
Only 4 months to go!!! Cindy & Kathy
