There’s no getting away from the shopping while you’re on a cruise, with something to buy around every corner and plenty of overly-eager salesmen ready and waiting to pounce for a chance at our shiny, lucrative tourist dollars. And of course, we’re all more than happy to part with our beloved benjamins in exchange for various trivial, tropically-themed novelties that we can give away to our friends, family, and co-workers as proof that we actually visited Jake’s Coconut Hut, the Nuttiest Bar in the Caymans!
Of course, it doesn’t help that a good deal of us tourists are complete and utter suckers, but we’ll worry about fighting that stereotype another day…
But the great thing I found about being inundated by such an array of gaudy gift shops was that even if you’re not interested in taking home a piece of Jake’s Nut Hut, the potential for goofy picture-taking at the expense of said salesmen is seemingly endless! You know what they say, “Why buy the cow when you can just mock and take pictures of it for free … until the shopkeeper asks you to leave, anyways…” and for what it’s worth, I don’t think I could’ve made up some of this stuff if I tried.
Hope you thoroughly enjoy this 35-slide Taste of the Caribbean because, well, between all of the picture taking and mass giggling, I never really got a chance to actually buy you something, so this is pretty much it. Hey, you didn’t really need another miscellaneous Mexican-themed trinket anyways…
