BlindCreek Posted November 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We will be in Barbados for two days/nights before embarking from Bridgetown on the Windsurf in a few weeks. As it turns out family members will also be in Barbados while we are there. They are wondering if it would be possible for them to visit the ship? We don't embark till midnight. Just wondering if anyone has ever had visitors join them on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridethetide Posted November 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2017 For security reasons, it is my understanding that visitors are not permitted on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindCreek Posted November 24, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thanks for the response. I thought that would be the case. Having embarked from Barbados a number of times I remember how detailed it was to enter and exit. I felt obliged to ask even though I was fairly certain of the answer. For security reasons, it is my understanding that visitors are not permitted on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lvwindstar007 Posted November 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Many years ago cruise lines sometimes allowed this. No longer possible due to obvious security concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted November 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2017 You can’t even get into the cruise terminal without boarding documents and identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donabq Posted November 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Years ago, in the "Love Boat" era, Princess permitted visitors to use the bars and restaurants aboard ship while in port. That was a completely different era before mass market cruising took off. Come to think of it, the "Love Boat" is probably to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkbiiii Posted November 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Princess you can purchase a half-day tour, with lunch. I wonder if others still do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted November 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I do know that Crystal allows this. With it's open bridge policy I can imagine that Windstar might. It can't hurt to ask them. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted November 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I am not sure what relationship an open bridge policy has to letting non-passengers on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindCreek Posted January 17, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I was told while on the ship that we could have secured day passes for guests. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
