Have no idea what to do ....

[layteacher]

First time on a cruise to the area. Have no idea what to do. We love chilling on the beach and having drinks with possible snorkeling. Like to do a little local shopping. Any suggestions at all? There are so many things that I am overwhelmed. Do not want to do a tour. Rather just enjoy the scenery. Possibly not far from the cruise port. Definitely not a crowded place. It will be during Spring break so I am sure there will be tons at the popular spots. TIA

COCO Beach…. Book in advance… A little further from port, but never crowded, as space is limited, No S.H.T.

Remember, the most busy and S.H.T. populated beaches (close to port) are those where they can walk (30 minutes is considered okay by many), or a very cheap cap ride away.

Like an inside joke.  No one understands or thinks it is funny.

Not an inside joke as one avers…..No humour intended….. A statement of fact.

To assist one’s comprehension…….

TOWELS:

Arrive by the cheapest means; deliberately take the most annoying spot on the beach to spoil a view of paying clients; spread the ship's Towles; constantly repeat the mantra "beaches are free" like a demented parrot; do not spend anything at the resort; bring food and drink browsed from the ship's buffet, all wrapped in a ship's napkin; bury their picnic debris in the sand; use the sea, beach and all the venue's facilities for free; if there is charge for toilets, decline and use the sea; return to the ship by the cheapest means. 

Then when back in the Ship boast they spent the day at Carambola (Kim Sha et al) taking lunch and drinks there.

 

 

HERDS:

Arrive loudly en masse; stay loudly; have shouting conversations on their mobiles, or with other herd members, albeit 2 feet or 20 yards way; bring coolers full of Supermarket bought beer and food, then demand ice for free; bring boom boxes and play on highest volume; sometimes pay for beds but insist a colony of friends is created; complain about the price of venue's food as the reason for buying a single slice of pizza.  

Seek to use Hotel or Beach facilities for free, failing that, turn the sea into a Urinal (aka going for a swim)

Abuse or ridicule other guests, and members of the venue's staff, solely for the group's amusement.

Basically, it's a group who knowingly do everything possible to spoil the genteel ambience of the venue, and to annoy as many people as it is physically possible. 

Then leave loudly en masse.

 

Other items of annoyance can be added to each of the above definitions as required.

It's an over opinionated insult is what I have learned after reading so many of PORT ROYAL's posts.
