Intrepid

They usually have the second stop in Payne's Bay near the beautiful Sandy Lane resort. This excursion (first done in 2011) actually made us realize we'd rather spend the whole week in Barbados! We've gone every year since! :)

Me Too!! :D

My favorite ship in the fleet .:)

Me too, too!

:)

I actually much prefer the Dawn Spa-that great pool with the star ceiling-although the outboard sauna rooms on the Gem are wonderful too. Go for it!

I'm heading back to sea again in early Februaury, this time to Saint Thomas, Tortola, Saint Maarten (I know I'll head to Oyster Pond there), San Juan and NCL Private Island in the Bahamas. Any helpful hints? Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Hi Fred,

Ooooh! Jamaica streamertail hummingbirds! How amazing. Sorry you couldn't access the eco park and lighthouse...Better luck next time! Anyway, welcome back to New England. It's actually snowing here (Mystic) at the moment. Never a dull moment.

Hi Fred,

I, too, have wondered why birding excursions are neglected. I have used local birding chapters for do-it-yourself tours and information. I love bird and all wildlife watching from the boat itself, but find it difficult to positively identify many of the seabirds.

I hope you have a great trip next week,

Maureen
