Thank you so much for the wonderful report, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I especially enjoyed all the drink pics and descriptions, we have almost the same taste in cocktails, vodka or rum in fruit based drinks. Speaking of drinking, the hubby and I are returning to cruising after a 12 year break, sailing on the Vista in April. This will be our first time using the Cheers program and I am looking forward to it, sure we will be spending plenty of time at the Alchemy Bar, can’t wait! 

 

We we will be doing the same itinerary on the Vista and your pics of the traffic in Montego Bay totally changed my plans for that stop. I was going to independently book a family all inclusive, we are taking our daughter, SIL and grandson. We have been to Ocho Rios but not Montego Bay, I was surprised how congested it is. I do not want to worry about getting back to the ship in time so I booked a catamaran excursion and then we’ll check out the port side market, that looked great, thank you! 

 

I am going to start reading your Vista report tonight, cheers! 😎🍸🍹🍸😎

Thanks for reading. In about 87 days I can tie you over some more.

That's great, out of NOLA again? Ours is the Panorama in early January. I will absolutely be watching for you next adventure. I also enjoy your cruise web site.

Never saw any casino info. Did you spend much time there?

 

Don't think I ever responded to this. I played once for like an hour before the Alchemy opened on the first sea day. After that I looked to play another day but the $10 table was full and the $6 table had a guy playing two hands by himself at $50/hand. I didn't want to jump in on that.

I would play Texas Hold'em when it was first started and they used a dealer, but not now. Just don't like the computer doing the dealing.

Yeah I don’t play computerized table games. That’s all they had in the casino in Jamaica.

Off topic for this thread, but do you know if you can get HD poker chips in Progresso?  My son and I stole the idea from you to get HD poker chips at the ports we visit.  I see there is an HD dealership in Progresso, but I don't see a store.  Just wondering since I know you've been to Progresso in the past.  Thanks.  And thanks for your great trip reports.

I actually started that after the last time I went to progreso so I'm missing that one as well. From what I can tell it doesn't look like you can get one in Progreso but you can in Merida...which is what I'll try to do when I return next year.

If there's a dealership you should be able to get one. I don't think progreso has a dealership though. The only one that comes up when I search for it is Merida.

You're right.  The dealership I was seeing is in Merida.  Thanks again.

It tastes different up here. She did something wrong.

I had the same experience on the Horizon in April. Atrium bar Funship was great. Tides Bar Funship not so much. I think they used dark rum in the Tides Bar.
