My family and I are trying to decide which cruise line to choose.  I’ve never been on Royal Caribbean and was curious about reviews I have read.

 From my readings it appears shorts and tank tops are a no no, men must wear jeans or slacks and women dresses or slacks.

also, the free food options are not as many as Carnival. They have the windjammer cafe but specializes in specialty restaurants that cost extra,

Last item, do you really need to bid on upgrades?

any truth on these?

I'm planning a cruise with my large family and we're not sure which port would be better.

Montego Bay / Grand Cayman

Mahogany Bay / Belize

Which would you choose and why?

I'm hearing horror stories about Honduras, we would stay within the port to take advantage of the beach.  Is the port safe?  I would think Carnival would take all precautions to insure it is for it's cruisers.

Also, I'm reading that Jamaica has aggressive vendors who don't take no for an answer and there are drug pushers, which I'm sure these are everywhere.
