Discussions regarding holidays in the Caribbean
Really enjoyed it ....... almost felt like I was there. Can I ask you how long you was in Cancun airport before you escaped.
Glad you had a great holiday, only 147 days until I go, although not stopping at RY still enjoyed reading the review and getting a sense of Mexico :cheers

Hi
I should say roughly an hour, it was quick getting through, but the carousels like most airports now take forever getting luggage out ! Then its the green/ red light system. If you hit red, then unfortunately in view of everyone you have to take all your belongings out for checking.

I enjoyed it too, thank you. When you say Green/Red system - what do you mean exactly, is this the same as anything to declare at customs?

Okidoki, i will try and explain.

Once everyone has received their luggage, before you go out into the sunshine, you queue up to go out, there is a man or woman ushering you though fairly quickly. Its like a traffic light system showing red or green. If you got green she/he will get you through, if it shows red randomly, then they stop you and search your case. After you go through as normal, i think it stops randomly every 20 persons or so.

Yes we did but unfortunately when i wrote my review on trip advisor some american didnt like it, quite funny really, i think i touched a nerve.

Here it is : .............. Obviously i think the poor man got the wrong forum, eg, the teeth lol

Basically what he said was that I didn't mention anything about tipping, bets we didn't tip a dime. He see's many Brits on vacation, & it upsets him that he see's us leaving the table without tipping. He finished off mentioning the Brits 'god awful' teeth & don't we have dentists? He'd rather be a yank that's generous with money and has nice teeth!

That person must have screwtinised my report re tipping as thats a personal thing, we did tip the maids every day and the waitress who saved our table, i did laugh though reading it, i never replied and barred the person from my email, i wonder why ;)

How on earth did he get from tipping to teeth? :rofl Maybe he likes the sight of his own pearly whites so much he just has to let his mouth go :D

:rofl I think he is a little peeved i wrote about the yanks, new i was telling the truth and had to have a go, i did not retaliate, i felt like writing back well at least british teeth are real and our face, eg, botox and surgery on teeth. By the way, he hasnt reviewed or wrote one review ha ha

As reguards tipping we tipped every day, but i did not feel it necessary to write about it as its a personal choice.
