How has the yacht experience been lately. I heard there have been some changes to clothing optional and food and drink service. Can anyone chime in?
We haven't been on it since the changes but pretty pissed about them. Mainly because I have a gluten allergy and can't drink beer. We have it booked for July so hopefully people can chime in on their experiences with the new policy as we would love to hear as well.
What are the changes? Was thinking about booking in September. Or is there somewhere to look to see the changes?
Just went on in May. No full nudity, topless ok. No extra curricular activities below. Will sell you bottles using the TTR price sheet (though cash might get a discount). Stopped at a new spot and fed birds and fish and did a better tour of the island by the National Park end and then anchored in the usual spot for swimming. Had a shot concoction and only beer in the cooler otherwise. The food option was selected by someone else so I don’t know what was offered but we had the typical tuna/guac/veggie/cracker tray. Been on 5+ times previous and they gave the “rules” up front this last trip.
We're going on June 21st for the first time, so I have nothing to compare it against. But will report back after.
Essentially beer is now the only alcohol served unless you buy a bottle from the resort. And you can't bring outside alcohol so the only option is to "upgrade" to get different alcoholic options. Topless only in certain parts of the water. We can live with the clothing optional changes, but the booze thing is what really makes us mad. It's a freakin all-inclusive resort! They can easily include cheap booze at the very least!
Thank you for the info. We’ve never been out on the yacht before so we don’t have a frame of reference. We end up having about half of our resort credit at the end of our trips and thought we’d try reserving the yacht this time with our resort credit instead of spending it on overly priced items in the gift shop the last day of our vacation.
That's what we're doing this trip. Last trip we used it on a room upgrade, which was great. Our contract is for the Seduction Suites (which are always full) so we were in a trendy garden room and got upgraded to a Bash room for no money out of pocket. I was pretty happy with that.
