Up early and the disembarkation process begins. We had to pack the last few bits and pieces in our hand luggage, had our last breakfast in the windjammer, collected our alcohol from lock up and straight off the ship to hear the bing bong of our sea pass card for the last time. There was a bit of a queue for immigration and customs but it went quick enough. We liberated our contraband multitool from where it had languished since day 1 & went looking for a ta...

A day at sea as we head back to San Juan past exotic places like the location listed, Montserrat. We neither stopped there nor sighted it but the blog programme requires a location and it would seem in the middle of the Caribbean Sea isn't something it recognises lol It's been a lazy day, spent for the most part mooching around. We had breakfast in the tides restaurant where we usually have dinner for a change. It's a la carte so far less temptation to over eat ...

Day 6, another clear sunny Caribbean day in Barbados, we woke to the sound of a calypso band playing on the pier. Oddly enough they seemed for the most part to be playing various pop sings not reggae but it still sounded pretty cool.  The tour we booked on line yesterday was due to leave at 10am so we took our time over breakfast in the Windjammer before setting off to be collected.  The mini bus arrived on time, collected us and 2 other couples including ou...

After last nights late finish at the pool party we slept in. When we finally got up we were in port at St Lucia. There's very little near the ship in this port, everything involves an expensive taxi ride so we've decided to take it easy. At the port we found some Internet for $5 for the whole day so took advantage of that to load some blogs and get some pics onto Facebook. Internet connections on the ship are apparently not very good, very slow from what we hea...

Day 4, St Johns Antigua, we were met by a welcoming Caribbean steel drum band playing Bob Marley on the pier. Hopefully they've set up the tone for the day, lively and fun.  We had a quick look around St John, more jewellery stores, duty free and loads of taxi touts before heading back to the pier to meet up with the tour. We were driven 20 mins to where we were to start and all hopped on a speed boat to a pontoon in the mangroves. From there we were all in ka...
