I am from the UK and was on the Cunard Countess in 1991 with my Mum and a friend of ours (Barbara), we visited the Caribbean Islands (if my memory serves me correctly) of Barbados, Antigua, St. Kitts, Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Thomas, St. Lucia then back to San Juan, Puerto Rico to fly home from there.
It was an incredible cruise, I loved every minute of it, the crew worked so hard and were all lovely, they made it so very special and the islands were breathtaking.
On board the Countess I remember the rum punch parties, ice carving demonstrations, limbo dancing, the chefs with the baked Alaska desserts alight with brandy - it was all such brilliant, brilliant fun. I met a lovely passenger at a little market stall selling sea shells, he was an American fireman called Rob (pictured below) and do wish I had kept in touch.
I would love to find out more details of the trip, what all of the excursions were, the names of some of the beaches/areas, etc.
It is so sad that the Cunard Countess is no more, she was a magical ship to me xxx
