You could always move up to Regent. All drinks are included as well as gratuities. I love my cocktails but, unfortunately, DH can't find the paperwork to see just how much he spent on my drinks and our wine so I can't tell whether the upcost is worth it. You should only feel rushed if you make it so. If they are Caribbean ports try getting off the ship when you are in the mood and then negotiate with a taxi driver for a tour - you can go as fast or slow as you want. In St. Kitts we had the driver drop us at the Marriott to gamble for a while - we ended up seeing our casino crew there as well lol!!! - and it was a nice relaxing day. Linda
