Texasgalsa Posted March 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We have a chartered snorkeling tour that starts at noon. We didn't want to waste the morning away, any suggestions on what we could do before our tour? Appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Consider the luxury of sleeping late and having brunch on the ship before meeting for your Noon excursion. ;) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roysue Posted March 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We had a similar situation and took a cab to Accra Beach. I don't remember the cost but it was reasonable. We loved out time on the beach and are glad we did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotCarKing Posted March 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2015 From what I saw there isn't much within walking distance. A few shops and the normal duty free shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Buffettfan 225 Posted March 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We always look forward to taking a short walk outside cruise gate to Pelican Village, but now called Pelican Craft Village. I believe it is .5 mile from ship. A safe easy stroll. You walk through cruise terminal, exit and go outside gate staying on right side where the re is a sidewalk. Keep walking past taxis along waterfront - a nice, pretty sight. Right before you get there, we have always come across a quiet man/ vendor with a clothesline type string of handmade bendable figures made of wire and wrapped rope. Mostly soccer or sports figures in various colors using yarn. This is the only place I have ever seen these. My son loves his rasta colored bendable figure. Comes on a string to hang from a dresser drawer,doorknob etc. I think $15 or 2/$20 but it has been three years to recall. Now just a bit more and across on left is the outdoor. Shopping village. It is handicap accessible and quaint. Favorite store of ours is Rosalyn's for family back home souvenirs,crafts just about anything. There are also artisan craft studios in area if you inquire. sometimes depending on days, some stores are not open, but Rosayns always was. Plenty of time to shop & return to ship. Here is.

Rare Buffettfan 225 Posted March 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Agapey Chocokate Favtory was just officially launching organized tours when we were last in Barbados, but have won many awards from Trip Advisor. We are planning on doing this next cruise as one of our things to do. Look up Agapey Chocolate Factory Barbados. They have a website for information and tour registration. They only take 11 people per tour as a small personalized and family run business. They do not take walk ins. We are planning this tour next cruise in June. Not many places take time for tasting,demonstration of their unique way to make chocolate bars you will find sold on island. From what I read it is a 5-8 min walk to factory from cruise ship. They provide your confirmation and map upon registering. Appears it is $18, my tour per calendar was at 9:30 and 1 hr 15 min long. Closed toe shoes required. Hope this is a surprise find for you.
