That's what I expected. I'm not sure how much we'll leave the boat. Especially because of the zika virus. I've had people (doctors even) tell me I should rethink our vacation plans. I know it's a risk going to the caribbean and I've read every CDC notice there is on zika. But I am not pregnant and I know how to take acre of myself, being from southeast Asia and all, where they have things much worse. gonna have to bring bottles of the top consumer reports bug spray! You know they were sold out everywhere? ugh. SO I had to buy #2 and #3 ranked repellents.
I know the reports on zika are scary...but we bought repellent on the ship (so, probably not the top rated one ), covered ourselves with it, and then did the ATV excursion in the jungle (where there was TONS of standing water) and got exactly zero bites. Used the spray for Grand Cayman too, also zero bites. Be prepared and I really don't think you need to worry.
