Back from the Caribbean

I went on Royal Carribean for my honeymoon 12 years ago...eat too much, drink too much, sleep too much, and play the in/out game...of course that was before kids...There were TONS of fake CC everywhere on Nassau island...I mean in every gift shop, street vendors, whereever. I didn't care for Nassau at all because of all the people begging....as soon as we got off the boat this kid about 7 comes up to my wife and slaps a piece of string on her wrist...he says "bracelet for the pretty lady" I say "no, not interested" he says "it's free, just a small donation". So the wife doesn't have anything smaller than a $20 so she tells him she doesn't have any change...he says "oh thank you" I tell him we must get change b/c I am not giving him $20....so about 10 minutes of going back and forth he pulls out a big wad of cash out of his pocket, hands me $10, and runs away...I was so pissed I told the wife "We are not spending one f#$king dime on this island!" The Atlantis Hotel was pretty outstanding from what I remember though....wouldn't mind staying there.
