  1. If you want a nice calm beach you could go to Alleynes Bay on the West Coast. This is a fabulous beach away from the cruise ship crowds. There are a few places to eat from casual beach bars to the Lone Star restaurant. You can hire beds here if you wish.

     

    If you want a casual lunch you have JuJu's beach bar.  I am sure your driver will know it. The Fairmont Royal Pavillion is on this stretch of beach and their beach bar also does really good food and drinks. The lovely Lone Star is a great place to spend a few hours eating and drinking too.

  2. Hi

    I had an adapted cabin last January as I had broken my leg, was non weight bearing and was on crutches. I found the cabin to be extremely spacious, with enough room for a wheelchair around the bed if needed. My

    main concern was the bathroom as I needed a seat and hand rails. The bathroom was a wet room, with a large shower area with no steps or lips on the floor. It was very spacious  and had grab handles around. 

     

    I liked the position of the cabin

    on Deck 5, which was near to reception. The corridor was nice and wide and spacious, obviously to accommodate a wheelchair/mobility scooter.  In fact we are off next week on Explorer 2 and have booked our cabins on Deck 5 alongside the adapted cabins. Thankfully this year I will not require an adapted cabin.

     

    I would also add that the service I received from the beginning to the end of the cruise was excellent. 

     

    Hope this helps. 

  3. Hi kansascruiser1

     

    You might like to try Sheer Rocks restaurant. The food and drinks are really very good and the view is wonderful. If you wish you can reserve a day bed. They only have 2 day beds so the earlier reservation the better. They also have a small plunge pool.

     

    We had the most relaxing day there recently.

     

    We reserved via email and their response time was very quick.

     

    Take a look at their reviews on Tripadvisor.

  4. Had a brilliant day on this tour. The boat is really thrilling and the guys were really informative.

     

    Lunch was on a gorgeous beach and really good.

     

     

    Loved everything about it.

  5. Hi

     

    In Barbados a catamaran lunch trip which includes swimming with turtles is a lovely way to spend the day. There are plenty of different companies, which suit different needs, so take a look at reviews.

     

    If you enjoy gardens Huntes Gardens is magical. Even if you are not into gardens you will not fail to be impressed. Not sure where it is in relation to the port so taxi probably the best bet.

     

    On our recent cruise visit we docked overnight in Barbados and on our last day we took a 4 hour tour with a taxi driver which was very good. We went all along the West coast, all the way up to North Point, back down to Bathesheba where we stopped off for a drink and then onto the airport. He stopped at various places on route to take photos etc.

     

    Not really a must see but in St Kitts we went to Palm Court Gardens and Restaurant, which is about a 5 minute taxi from the cruise port. It is in lovely gardens, set around an infinity pool overlooking the ships in port.

     

    We reserved beds in advance via their website. They were extremely efficient in replying and the staff were really friendly.

     

    The food and drinks were very good and we spent a lovely day relaxing. There are some reviews where it has been very busy with ships crew but on the day we went there were just a handful of crew.

     

    Have a great cruise

  6. Lobster Alive has a lovely jazz band playing on a Sunday afternoon, booking is recommended. Although I am sure if there are just 2 of you you would get seated.

     

    They have beach loungers and shade to hire but I wouldn't say it is a quiet beach. You are next to The Boatyard which can get busy.

     

    Another lovely beach is Alleynes Beach, which is approx 20 minutes taxi ride from the cruise port. There are 2 beach bars, Santi and JuJu's to choose from or the lovely Lone Star restaurant. The beach bars rent beds and shade. IMO this is one of the nicest beaches and not too busy. This is also where the Fairmont Royal Pavillion Hotel is situated.

     

    Do look at reviews of all of the above.

  7. Hi

     

    Yes I would say definitely go for it.

     

    You can't go wrong with any but we tend to like to sit on the decking. The food is great, lovely cold drinks and great service. IMO its definitely worth the price. Generally we get there around 1pm and stay for 3-4 hours listening/dancing to the music.The atmosphere on a Sunday is great and the jazz band are really good.

     

    Its one of our favorite happy places in Barbados.

  8. Hi

     

    A lovely way to spend the day and lunch spot would be Lone Star Restaurant. They don't hire beds from this restaurant but there are places either side when you can hire beds for the day, namely Juju's or Santi. These are both great beach bars for spending the day and eating/drinking whereas the Lone Star is more of a restaurant; their lunches are lovely. They have a decking where you can sit in beach wear but if you want to lunch in the restaurant we have always found that most people wear smart casual day wear.

     

    They are all on the lovely Alleynes Beach which is just past Holetown.
