I agree with those that say it's an individual choice and there is no right or wrong.

I've stayed both A/I and Non A/I many times in Negril and enjoy both! My favorite way to spend a week there though is to split the trip between the two. Normal places I do this is between Hedo and CCLP! I love both places for different reasons. Even when I've stayed the whole week at Hedo, I still get off property many times to attend the boardie webcasts, etc., hence, the best of two worlds!

Depending on the type of room you get, where you stay, etc. the price difference is not always all that great, especially when you drink a lot like I do while on vacation!

The last cruise I went on was my first "clothing optional" cruise for 7 nights and it felt confining to me and I agree I wasn't into checking out the "tourist" trap places with hundreds of other people at the ports we stopped at. Further, thank goodness we were able to sneak booze onto the cruise, or I would have gone broke!!!! Talk about $$$$!!!

I know too many people who have stopped on a cruise in Jamaica, only to come back and state they would NEVER go back there again for the above stated reason.
