A couple questions for past S. Carib Spirit cruisers:

[1kycat]

First…thanks to all the previous reviews and answers given on this board.

 

We're very inexperienced cruisers…so some of these questions are probably a little on the dumb side…

 

SHIP

 

I seem to recall reading how the ice bucket in the cabin left a lot to be desired. Would it be a good idea to take a portable cooler?

 

Are glasses provided in the cabin? (just like a hotel) Like I said…Dumb eh?

 

When you buy liquor at the port and have them keep it until the last day…where do you go to pick it up? What time do they let you get it? Were there big lines? How long did it take? And the same question for non-americans(for picking up passports).

 

We’ve all read how long some of the dinners take…but when you go sit in the dining room for lunch…what was it like?

 

Do they charge children who eat in the specialty restaurants?….I’m guessing my daughter will still want to eat off of the children’s menu…

 

 

PORTS

 

 

What kind of things did you find for gifts/souvenirs? What was the best shopping Island? (In your opinion) Favorite stores?

 

Thanks for any help
