  1. Nobody will know exactly 100% in advance, as anything can happen.However, one thinks if it’s a larger ship, say over about 2000 pax, then possibly the berth at Tourelles will be used. This will be the furthest dock from the town, about a 20/25 minutes walk along a busy main road, with narrow footpaths. Take a cab.
  2. Consider contacting Beautiful Barbados to discuss a bespoke tour. Suggested inclusions, for the adults a vis it to Washington’s house would be of interest, a walk into American History, also Harrison’s caves and the Submarine trip would hold the little one’s attention
  3. Contact Beautiful Barbados for a bespoke full day tour to one’s requirements. It can include a Bajan Lunch (consider Juju’s) and rum/drinks (possibly at a local rum shack close to Juju’s)
  4. Do it…………A great experience for all ages. A photograph taken when actually race helming is a great moment to treasure. Yes, there is an actual competitive race between two yachts, with patrons as the crew. The smiles at the end are huge, win or lose. Although the yachts are “Old School” compared to the beasts of today, one does not fully understand the power and speed of these yachts until feeling it through one’s senses. https://www.12metre.com Wish one a great day. PS. As there are only 2 yachts……Book early
  5. Consider http://www.grenadaexplorer.com/chris.html
  6. Totally agree, have seen many HMRC suitcase openings at Southampton, mostly evidencing cigarettes. One opening of note showed four large suitcases, two packed full of cigarettes. How did HMRC know/identify? One has been lucky over many years, but one does utilise a Luggage Porter, sometimes two, to take luggage, also the occasional barrel, fast track to the waiting taxi, then to assist with the loading. It would appear the Porters are lucky for us.
  7. There’s another collective…. SHT = S for Ship’s rowdy crew - H for Herds - T for Towels
  8. Try a message on their Face(hardback reading material) page…..
  9. Good call…. Can one suggest the Main of their Seafood Paella for two sharing. It’s hand made with care to order, but be prepared to wait 30/40 minutes before serving, because that’s how long it takes the Chef. Time for leisurely cocktail and starter.
  10. Additional The Mezzanine close by has a happy hour(s) starting from 4 pm
  11. Marmalade. Take the wine pairing menu. They can also prepare a cocktail menu to suit.
  12. One’s contract is between one and the TA. Try asking Cunard… But feel one may be referred to TA
  13. If booked direct with Cunard then there should be no problem. Have no idea what one’s conditions are with the TA, or what arrangements the TA has with Cunard. It might be the TA has a Charter deal only with Cunard. Best speak with one’s TA.
  14. If wishing a full land tour… Contact Beautiful Barbados for a bespoke full day tour to one’s requirements. It can include a Bajan Lunch (consider Juju’s) and rum/drinks (possibly at a local rum shack close to Juju’s)
  15. Try the telephone, as there may have been a connection problem with their system.
  16. Is it just a popular beach with bed rental, or does one require a more discerning upmarket dining/day experience? If you wish a totally "SHT” free experience with a Beach, then your list for considereration is: Jacqui O's - Not as yet open Cecilia's Catherine's Café Without a Beach then "Sheer Rocks" - with a Pool Day Pass - Various options All at various price points - Book your Lunch/Day in advance for all. For a luxury all inclusive option, then Curtain Bluff is the best, but do contact them inadvance to discover if they have spare capacity. Also, take a tour of the accommodation, for future booking consideration.
  17. Never experienced it. However, any good experience that can involve children and be interesting will sell out fast. Therefore, suggest booking online in advance, rather than face disappointment on the day.
  18. Most scheduled flights allow one to pay for an extra suitcase, being cheaper in advance rather than at check-in. But check with one’s carrier and ticket conditions. Prices vary. No idea on charter flights, but Cunard will have the answer.
  19. An interaction and close engagement with a non-housetrained monkey, possibly infected with God knows what, for what is thought to be great entertainment, is so Carambola. Pass and leave it to the SHT (Ship crew, Herds, Towels) there.
  20. One always books via Cunard, as one can upgrade flight seats and luggage etc. at a reasonable price. Ask for a quote when booking. Look to arrive at least a day prior to cruise for peace of mind. Also, consider flying midweek for a weekend sail as the flight will be reduced and make a contribution towards one’s hotel for sight seeing. Make the hotel booking oneself, because Cunard overcharge for junk rooms per person and not always in a good position.
  21. With the timings being rescheduled backwards, it appears first sitting has now become High Tea. One’s late Grandmother would have made comment on the perceived breach of protocol with “Oh my - It’s so wrong” .
