  Let me start by saying that parts of this experience were fun, but overall, this was not what I expected or would have knowingly signed up for. Buckle up—literally and figuratively. The transportation from my resort (RIU Montego Bay) to the first stop at Margaritaville Negril was nothing short of chaotic. The roads were rough, the ride was fast, and the driving was so hectic that I ended up in the backseat with my eyes closed, holding my breath with my stomach in my throat. I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted to cry, or throw up out of the window. The trip took over an hour. Once we arrived, Margaritaville itself had a great vibe. The games they had going on for guests were super fun, and the energy was lively. But the outdoor bathrooms were terrible—small and far from what you’d expect from a tourist spot like that. When it was time to board the catamaran, Sunshine, we weren’t led to a dock—we had to tread through chest-deep water, holding bags above our heads trying not to slip or drop anything. Absolutely no one mentioned this part in advance, and it was inconvenient and frustrating. The cruise itself was scenic, but there was no name brand liquor—which was a real letdown for what was advertised as a premium excursion. The music and vibe were fun, but the overall onboard experience didn’t feel worth the cost. The absolute worst part of the entire day was the transition from the catamaran to a small, bouncing motorboat to get to Rick’s Café. We had to climb up a jagged rock wall while the boat continuously slammed into it from the waves. It was top five scariest things I’ve ever done in my life. Two men had to physically help each person get off the boat and up the rock. This was not explained at all ahead of time—if it had been, I would have opted out. Now despite the chaos it took to get there, Rick’s Café was incredible. The views were beautiful, the energy was unmatched, and I had the best meal of my entire trip there. The $18 Hennessey was well needed to calm nerves from that chaotic transfer. Leaving was another ordeal: back onto the boat, back onto the catamaran, then treading through water again to get to the beach, then walking through Margaritaville soaking wet to change in tiny outdoor woodsy bathrooms with barely enough space to move. Followed by the return bus ride—in the rain. Fast, bumpy, and just as nerve-wracking as the ride there. When it was all said and done, this excursion was uncomfortable, and even scary at times. With better communication, safer transfers, and some key upgrades to transportation and facilities, this could be an amazing experience. But as it stands, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re incredibly adventurous and fully prepared for a long, rough day.

  Absolutely amazing crew and time. Snorkeling was fun and they helped ease you into it. The drinks on the boat were very good.

  The overall experience was good but the instructions for embarking and disembarking should be explained in more detail because some of the clients were unaware they had to walk in waist deep water to get onboard the catamaran.

• Very good cruise
