Thanks Herb and CD. That was one hellova deal for that price. To bad I bumped into this thread to late. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for other deals like that in the future.:cool2:

$700/week AI including booze is a great price. $500/week was amazing; I wouldn't try to hold out of it again if you want to dive Roatan.
Did I sound like I was beating someone? :blush: Sorry. My dry way of talking really.I always feel a little bad about beating someone just for a good price. They need to stay viable.

What is the norm for tipping at FI? Is this something that is expected daily or at the end of the week? Not to get into a debate about tipping, but I think people should tip based on the service not the expectation. I will offer a tip over and above to a crew that does a great job for me and little less for the so-so attempts, but I never will offer nothing. What is the average tip at FI?

Someone in group said to tip the servers at the end of the week, but they varied a lot; I'd tip at each meal, each day for the room maid, etc. I kinda like using $2 bills at times, but I wonder if they have a problem with those so far from the US? Maybe not as 2s are common bills in most currencies, the US the only one with a superstition - that I now of. $5 work well in the appropriate places....servers in the restaurant, cleaning ladies in the rooms, bartenders, bus drivers, cooks, etc. I usually bring a bunch of $1 dollar bills with us and distribute them as needed.
Today, $50 each for boat crew sounds like a good minimum - maybe in $10 & $20 as a $50 might be inconvenient to them
