Looking for places you loved that are all inclusive but not in Mexico and moderately budget friendly. We are looking to book an all adults trip just for fun times. Thanks!

No they cruise all over, they are smaller ships and can get into more ports. We did a cruise with them from Rome to Istanbul, it was very luxurious although we were among the youngest on board

Noranna couldn’t pay me to travel to Jamaica. We stayed @ The Jewel @ Runaway Bay. It’s all inclusive, but we had to tip them for everrrrything. We booked a shopping tour
. Omg it was broken down huts and the vendors would try to trap you. It was disgusting how they gouged all of us. It was my nieces wedding and my mom’s 80th while we were there.
For example (2014) they were going to charge $80/plate where we ate everyday to have a dinner after the ceremony and a bit of a gathering/food.
Every drink cost us. This was a beautiful resort! But the staff approached several family members telling them how badly they were treated. Earn $30/week but cost $50/week to work.

Robbin, I’ve been to Jamaica twice. Loved it both times. Stayed at Secrets, St. James and Sandals. Preferred Secrets to Sandals. Can’t wait to go back.

Cuba & Mexico are usually the cheapest. DR has pretty beaches, I prefer Plata (more to do) rather than Punta Cana. Jamaica & Costa Rica are more expensive.
