The only barge i associate with is GAS BARGE.
FWIW, I love typical, crappy Caribbean cruises. I know they get a lot of hate, but I think they're great fun. Gimme the all you can eat pizza at 9 am. Gimme the crappy drinks. Gimme the group macarana dance by the pool. Gimme the 2 hours to explore the tourist zoo at the Nassau port. Gimme the hilariously campy nightly entertainment in the theater. Gimme it all!
"Ah yes, but you don't get to enjoy all the culture Cozumel has to offer," yeah but did you know there's a casino right on this boat?
