Eh. Some tourist areas have a fair amount of sketchiness right outside the popular areas (or even within it: see Waikiki). Other tourist areas have very little sketchiness within 100 miles.

As for your race-baiting, it's Friday. So I'm goimg to pretend that you didn't just say that.

Seems to me you are looking for "exclusive". Based on your claims that Disney is too expensive (granted it is if a perfectly fake world and standing in line isn't your thing) you are looking for champagne on a beer budget. And if you think St Augustine doesn't have sketchy you didn't look hard enough.

Perhaps if you choose an upscale cruise line and sail to premium ports, but otherwise, no, you are likely to encounter a lot of people (including children) who want handouts and you may even find yourself in the middle of some serious strife.
The absolute truth. I can't understand why everyone runs to the Caribbean than complains and whines when bad things happen. I guess visiting there is some kind of a status symbol.
