Sammy Davis Jr Jr Jr Jr and his partner were very nice but not as fun of a trip as when we toured with Rudy 10 years ago! We were only given 1 drink on this trip and had to ask for the 2nd one when we were waiting for people to come back from the beach. Rudy had “happy hour” every few minutes and kept the drinks flowing.
