Watching from Canada.  Waiting for yours and ours to come home.

We usually hit Surfside Beach Bar in Holetown, or Coconut Court Hotel. Both have all the amenities you need.  Surfside has more locals and is quite small, and Coconut Court is a little further.  We're probably hitting CC this cruise because they have a great man-made reef, and we have a friendly little eel we visit !

We have had several dives with Barbados Blue, and they're fantastic.  www.divebarbadosblue.com

The folks there know what they're doing, and will treat you well.  Great wrecks and fish.  They also help beginners !

Wow, I wonder what happens with their cruise fare in that case?

 

And I wonder if I went real quick to the port if I could get a deal on a cruise to Canada?

Hahaa….runnnnnn ! There's still time !

My niece is (was) checking in on The Dawn a while ago in Boston. She says a LOT of people have been turned away from boarding because they're deemed inadmissible into Canada. I never even thought of that ! What a horrible way to start a vacation !

Haha, no worries, it's 71F in Halifax right now.

Whaaatt ? You mean you have to pay for the shows now on NCL ??

Well that's just great !:rolleyes: We had been planning our yearly mega-family cruise on the Jan. 21 2017 Summit, mainly because of the great new itinerary with an overnight in Barbados. Why is it that it seems all the fantastic overnights have been chartered out ??:mad: Looking into Royal Caribbean now. Celebrity, you disappoint me.

Hi Everyone ! Every other year or so our family takes a group cruise. Two years ago we were on the NCL Sun, and totally, hopelessly, completely fell in love with the Great Outdoors Bar & Grill, just off the buffet. We'd all meet there in the mornings for breakfast, drinks after shore excursions, and get togethers before dinner. We're searching for any other cruise ships that have that sort of casual open-air eating/lounging/waterwatching areas. Can you help us ?

Also, we've always shied away from Carnival since it had a reputation of being too much of a "party" line. Is it true or would I be able to feel comfortable bringing people from 20-75 years old ?

Thanks !

:)
