Hello,
My husband and I were just on the Costa Atlantica at the invitation of
Costa Cruise Lines. My husband is a cruise specialist and the purpose
of the cruise was to meet the new president/CEO and all the regional
sales directors. They have made some great changes and told us about
some new and exciting plans for the future. ***edited to remove commercial information*** Take care and I hope you enjoy your next
cruise as much as we enjoyed ours.

Hi there.... what follows is a copy of a post that I made in the "Destinations" board here on Cruisemates regarding a cruise excursion that we took in Ochos Rios (Jamaica):
We just got back from an awesome cruise and wanted to share how pleased we were with our tour guide in Jamaica. Trevor Hudlin of Trevor Hudlin Tours provides the best deal on the island. Trevor's personal service, knowledge of the island, and fantastic hospitality was top notch. You can contact him directly at
trevorhudlin@hotmail.com. Tell him Kathy from New Hampshire recommended you contact him. He will treat you right! For only $50.00 per person we had an island highlight tour, climbed Dunn River Falls, went tubing down the White River, went to a pottery factory, visited a spice plantation, went shopping, explored Fern Gulley, just to name some of the things we did. Trevor spent the whole day with us, paid all of our admissions and safely got us back to the ship on time. He was fantastic and we highly recommend him! Have fun.

If you end up at the Montigo Bay port instead of the James Bond port at Ochos Rios, Treavor will still pick you up and show you a reall good time. I'd also now like to add that we enjoyed our time on the Costa Atlantica. Princess Cruise line is still our favorite, however, there were no major problems at all with this line or ship. Sometimes I think the negative posts are "planted posts" from individuals that have special reasons, whatever they are, to disparage a ship or line. No one and no cruise line is 100% perfect all the time. Keep a positive attitude and enjoy yourself.
We've cruised a lot, on a lot of different ships, if ever you want to contact us with questions, we'd be happy to respond directly to you...... try to make it before you book though because we may be able to help prevent issues from happening.
Take care.
Kathy and Mike
