Seaside Sunday: Negotiating in the Caribbean
Each week we will take a look at some fun, interesting, or new aspect of cruising the high seas! When we get ready for our trips, making purchases is rather straightforward. I need flip-flops, I go to the store, find what I want, and (as long as it’s acceptable) I pay the price marked on…
