tokathy, agree 100%. Twice we have done the all inclusive routine. Once a budget one in Cancun at the last minute; rooms wonderful, staff nice and pool nice. It ended there. The food was average at best and the liquor rot gut quality. As we do enjoy a nip or two or several it is a mericle we came back with our stomachs still in place. We were also paying for trips they made to night clubs etc we didn't take as we had kids with us. An example of paying for what we didn't get. The second time the resort was in Jamaca, very top quality and top of the line everything. We did get out money's worth cause of the nanny everyday and again had grand kids with us. We also enjoyed the top quality booze, but the food still was not up to ship quality. If I did not drink and did not want to take the excursions I would be less than thrilled with the prices they charged. All inclusives are convenient, but I don't mind the cruise handling. It is still pretty much all inclusive with exception of liquor, tips and the occasional trip to spa or pay restaurants. As you stated you do not have to spend an extra penny if you choose not to.NIta
