It broke my heart to hear people on the ship say how they didn't like downtown Barbados. Please remember, you are visiting their home. Like many of us, our downtown areas serve our residents. The islands are the same. Many open air markets with fruits and veggies are their way of life. Enjoy the experience instead of looking for a Trader Joe's.

WOW. Highly recommend visiting the Boatyard $5 taxi to there. $20 to get in and you get beach chair , umbrella, first drink and use of the snorkeling tour. Swimming with the sea turtles were great. Plus they give you a free ride back to the ship

Fab beach. Make sure to go to the boatyard where 20 dollars gets you a free drink. Chairs and umbrella and snorkel with turtles and shipwreck. Excellent

Barbados is absolutely beautiful. This is my second time here and both times we went to The boatyard. The weather wasn’t the best this time. Rain and sun on and off but always fun. Water is clear blue and sand is amazingly soft and white.

We got a taxi and had a day at the beach. Taxi at port took us to The Boatyard beach. ( Highly recommend it). Cost 5 dollars each. Cost 20 dollars each for entry to beach but I must say it was worth every penny. For that we got a sun bed each ( in other ports we paid 5 or 10 dollars just for a bed) an umbrella, a rum punch ( powerful stuff), WiFi and a boat trip and snorkelling gear and taken out for an hour snorkelling with the turtles and the most amazing fish. I swam and my wife just relaxed on the boat. Had a lovely bar meal and a couple of drinks. A lovely day to finish off our holiday.
