I voted No but then Glenn might have to learn to eat on the first pit stop. He has never eaten on the island and always gets pizza on the second stop. Lol I never shop in mexico. Too annoying and I love the boat so sail me farther, longer, and skip the island shopping trip.
The stop does put people off. If say you went to coco bongos when it gets in full flow, why come out and visit another club, and then go back?? Speaking around the sexy pool that was one reason people gave for not booking the Boobs Cruise. The other was if youve paid to be on it, why then pay for drinks on the island (pointless), although the later reason wouldnt bother us, its only money
I agree the island stop is not the best part of the cruise but understand people have to eat! I think skipping it and even getting back to the resort an hour earlier wouldn't be a bad idea . even a half day boob cruise might not be too bad 10 - 4:00 ?
I don't know about anyone else, but on the Boobs Cruises I've been on, it was imperative to have the lunch stop at least, to get some more fuel put into the party machine (Stacia) and just straight up alcohol sponge for the fuddy-duddy (Me). Otherwise, the way those dudes bring me beers staggers the imagination, to say nothing of my actual person. But... the other stop to shop and stick a head into the bar... I "could" skip that. UNLESS there is an emergency need to clean the boat after a couple rookies puked on the way OUT. Remember that Steve, the last trip with Stacia & I? Ewww... You & Janet were Troop, handling that! And the rookie mistake in the ladies head (always get a kick out of saying that). REMEMBER PEOPLE: No Toilet Paper down the toilet on a Boat! Bad Juju! But, when the party people are vets, or the talented rookie group that don't screw stuff for everyone, then the second stop "could" be made optional, unless there's an operational reason to keep it. Hell, maybe it's just to keep folks from getting so stumblingly-blind drunk they drop into the sea and drown, I don't know... and if so, keep it...
Agreed the first stop for lunch is essential. If I didn't eat part-way through the day I'd be overboard before the boat docked back at TTR.
Somehow I think we can manage more whipcream. And if there is no stop after lunch how am I to get more pics of you and Glenn stuffed into an ice machine? rangehat:
I love the idea mentioned of the lunch stop being a little longer (as long as there is booze available) and perhaps a few more beach games?
Just to clarify. The stop at the beach club for lunch is always going to happen that wont change. We're debating the second stop at the busy downtown part of the Island which some call 'shopping' but is really free time to do as you wish.
There are lots of reasons why people don't go, they don't like boats, get seasick easy, don't want to be in the sun all day, too raunchy, don't want to miss the pool, cant afford it, didn't know about it etc. I'm not sure a 3/4hr to one hour stop of free time out of a 7 hr tour would be a major contributor to people not going. There's no purchase necessary, and beer is only $2 a bottle. If they didn't bring any money then I will happily buy them a drink anyway if they want one. All the other boats that do the downtown stop do it mainly because the staff will try and lead folks to shops that pay them a commission on sales to people they bring. Our staff don't do that, if they did they would not be our staff any more. We rarely have a problem filling the boat so not too worried about what the people around the sexy pool who didn't go think. More interested in looking after the people who do go
