Day 5: Barbados


It’s Thursday so that must mean Barbados. This is as far south as we go but it was the coolest day. No humidity and in the mid 80’s. Nice breeze. We did the Tiami Sail, Snorkel with Turtles, and Beach excursion. We did this a few years ago and it is still great. Tiami is probably the best tour operators in the Caribbean. We saw plenty of turtles and you can touch their shells because when they come up for air they swim right past you. Barbados beer is not as good as St. Lucia beer, but now I’m nit picking.

We ate at Chops last night. We both had the petite (7 ounce) filet mignon (medium) and it was excellent. Chops is $30 per person and worth it. You can get a 10 ounce filet mignon and t-bone and other meat as well as seafood. Portofino’s, at $20 per person, is better in our opinion, but I think they were full when we tried to book it. Do either one for a nice break from the main dining room.

We’ve been to two special events in the evenings already for being Diamond Club members of Royal Caribbean. It’s worth staying with one cruise line if they are good and building those points. Lots of in-room perks and parties. The parties have free drinks and you meet the captain and officers.

We head north tomorrow and are at sea all day. No stops so I’m not sure what pictures I’ll have for you. I’ll try my best.

Here are today’s:

There were at least a dozen coconuts in this tree. Look in the center.
