EXOTICA DE CARNIVAL REVIEW

These are NOT my personal opinions but of carnival revelers that have sent their personal reviews via email.  Should you like to send a review, that email is deecarnivalbaby@gmail.com.

So, I decided to give this brand new fete a try because it's supposed to be the new emerging fete for Trinidad and Tobago carnival 2016. I've heard that too many times to count.  This boat ride was surprisingly good. As you walked onto the boat, there was a vodka mix called "The Exotica".  It was a mix of pineapple Ciroc, lime juice, and watermelon balls.  This was the first taste of Exotica de Carnival. 

As we walked up to the top deck, we could smell the aromas of the food which made my mouth water. As we left the dock, we were swept into a soca trance from Miami's best Eternal Vibes. After the vibes we heard from Ultra Simmo, Merry Perry and Custodian. All the Dj's played both ole and new soca which was a plus for me because for the entire time I was in Trinidad I was beaten to death by nothing but soca from 2015 and prior.  The DJ's did play music from last year and older but it was a good mix.  It blended well and you could tell they knew (and had) music from 2016. To make a long story short, the patrons were not in need of anything musically.  We were also entertained my soca artiste SKHI and S Carter.  They seemed to know exactly what we wanted and it was reasonably priced.  It was only 300TT! Sweet music and great food at THAT price? This cooler cruise fete is a must go.  

I can't think of anything negative to say about the event aside from the boat leaving about a half hour later than anticipated but it also came back about 40/45 minutes later so.....winner!  Hopefully they decide to have another cooler cruise fete for 2017 and if they do, I will be attending. 

My only hope is that I didn't rave so much about it that I end up with NO ticket next year....
