BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #26 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Tuesday would be the only day at sea and the first formal night. I did not take as many pictures as I would have liked too as I left the camera at home. I did take 200 on my iphone. I did take 900 pictures when we did this cruise last year.

BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #27 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Wednesday and Barbados. This is our least favorite port on the trip. We do not care for Bridgetown, it is too big and does not have the Caribbean feel of the other ports, just my opinion. We decided to do Harrison's Cave.

BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #28 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Here are a few pic, it is an expensice excursion, but worth it. Unlike caves here in the US, it is not cold underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #29 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There are several places along the route underground that they allow you out of the tram to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #30 Share Posted November 19, 2012 An interesting thing happens in Barbados, people begin and end the cruise here just like they do in San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #31 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you are looking to purchase booze here in the cruise terminal, the smaller shop has the better prices, usually by 50 cents per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #32 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Also free WIFI in the Cruise Terminal if you need to check emails or just need a quick internet fix. Also this was the only port that I managed to get a stamp in my passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #33 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Other than the tour to the cave, we did not leave the cruise terminal area this trip. Just did not feel like going downtown and fighting the madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 19, 2012 Author #34 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thursday would be St Lucia. I had been wanting to see the Pitons. last year we did a tour that took us to a Plantation Style home, Caribelle Batik and the rum factory. This year we decided to do the Catamaran Cruise to the Pitons. So glad that we did, simply the best excursion this trip that we did. Snacks and drinks are included, and after the swimming, Rum Punch.

jlk806 Posted November 19, 2012 #35 Share Posted November 19, 2012 An interesting thing happens in Barbados, people begin and end the cruise here just like they do in San Juan. Really? That seems really odd that they have people starting and ending their cruise at different times during the cruise! I am going on this itinerary at the end of June but on the Valor.

BenjiRodney Posted November 25, 2012 Author #41 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So sorry for the delay, I have been sick and working as well, and just paid off the Jan 28th cruise on the Carnival Imagination, needed a quick 4 day get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 25, 2012 Author #42 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think that this go around that St Lucia was our favorite port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 25, 2012 Author #43 Share Posted November 25, 2012 St Lucia is also the second formal night of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 25, 2012 Author #44 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Friday: St Kitts, it's a nice port area, Port Zante, to walk and shop around in. Please be aware that there are little to no consumer protection/trademark laws in St Kitts, please pay attention to the shopping talks and the stores to avoid in this port.

BenjiRodney Posted November 25, 2012 Author #45 Share Posted November 25, 2012 We booked the same excursion that we did last year, St Kitts Highlights with Brimstone Hill Fortress. It includes a visit to Romney Manor and the fortress and some of the Island Highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaz Posted November 25, 2012 #48 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (took a part time job to pad the cruise funds, next cruise is Jan 28 on the Carnival Imagination, quick 4 day Key West/Cozumel cruise) I was on that same exact sailing last January. It's a decent cruise and priced fairly, but the itinerary's port times aren't the best. It's a long haul down to Cozumel, though (and pretty bumpy on our sailing), which explains the early departure from Key West and late-ish arrival at Cozumel.
