Have a great time and don't tempt the sharks too much. Loved snorkeling in the Caribbean but was in Freeport close to 15-20 yrs ago and it was a seedy place then. Was there three days and the beach and snorkeling were great and conch salads weren't bad but, too many drug issues and unemployment with everyone trying to part you from your money.

Snorkeling time in the water was too brief for what you were paying.  On a cruise ship you won't have that issue.

I hope you have fun and get some great food and great times

Sister went on a cruise this summer w/ husband for anniversary.  They don't have free wifi and if your cell phone company offers coverage it is at high rates in addition to monthly charges you normally have. Something like $0.50 per txt message sent and $3-4/minute for voice calls.
Definitely have to be aware of the fees. They won't reduce them after you incurred them either.
Had friends who went on Caribbean cruise and were Facebook'ing a lot and emailing like normal.  $300-400 bill on top of normal monthly charges.

No wifi on shipboard?
They have it Jay but is pretty pricey. I bought some time but I don't want to answer all the PM'S and emails. I enjoy no phone and no Internet for a week or so.....I actually end up reading a couple of books.
