...white sand beach, while snorkelers explore a 16th century sailing ship and a small plane that the company submerged to give divers a sense of adventure. Alas, what Royal Caribbean calls a controlled shore experience some others have labeled a limited amusement experience. "There's nothing here but some palm trees," complained LaDonne Herring, a nurse who cruised to Coco Cay on the Sovereign of the Seas. "I'm going back to the ship and watch a movie...

Just two weeks ago, Stephen Fagan of Palm Beach, Fla., was arrested after 18 1/2 years for kidnapping his two daughters and spiriting them away from their mother's home in Framingham, Mass.

Alas, Combs, who thought he was enjoying the privacy of Donald Trump's Palm Beach, Fla., Mar-a-Lago Club, had strayed onto the sand of the veddy conservative Bath & Tennis Club. A B&T member took offense at the frolicking and sent a club official to stop it; according to the Palm Beach Daily News, an unabashed Puffy blasted the official for "ruining his concentration."
