If you want lots of space, amenities, etc....then the price is worth it! If you are satisfied with a place to sleep..then it's not worth it!

Almost any dept. store that carries swimwear will have a selection. They don't have to be pricey at all to cover your suit!

What else do you have to do? Sure...get off the ship and wander a bit. It's not like it's a huge production to go to Coco Cay! If you decide not to stay...head back to the ship. If you find a...

You definitely need to talk to them BEFORE the cruise. Get them a guidebook on your ports, so they'll know something about where they're going and won't feel so "lost" and need to cling so much!

These question are really not RCI specific......They don't provide blankets like in the old movies! No kite flying or fishing or skeet shooting off the ships. Bubbles are ok.
