Never have a ship cruise to an island on national a island holiday. Everything was shut down. Driving around was easy, although we did not get to see the life of the island everything was mostly closed that day. Spent a nice time jet skiing. You should also advise cruise guest that there are free beaches with all the amenities, we were smart enought to check thing out for ourselves.o

Also boring, but we took the included excursion— a big mistake.

Kind of a bust from our plans. We tried to enter the Sandals resort after calling from the states and inquiring how to do so. We took a 25 minute cab ride there. Our driver went above and beyond my threshold of patience trying to convince the security staff to allow us entry. I understood cuz.. in their dialogue, but no go. For no extra charge, he stopped at Hilton Vaca Club and for $80 each we got a one day pass and we enjoyed the beach, one drink each and a lunch sandwich. All good. Super nice restrooms for island life. We stayed 5 hours and he also came back for us. Food is pricey, but good, and a la Carte, Tiki style. We've since joined HVC just in case.

(1st Excursion)- RC Swim with Turtles, Shipwrecks, Snorkel and Beach. This was NOT the Tiami Catamaran. I chose the one that was 3 1/2 hours bc I also wanted to do an afternoon excursion. The crew wore shirts that said Oceano Adventure, this was not a catamaran but more like a big fishing boat/pontoon boat (sorry not a boat girl). The crew was fantastic, plenty of sun or shade on the boat. There was a nice bar and homemade local cakes. The snorkeling with the turtles and shipwreck were all in the same area, maybe a half mile apart. Then when you anchored for the “beach” part it was in the same area- no more than about 20 minutes from the port by boat. Saw a ton of sea turtles- great pictures, very clear water, lots of fish, wonderful! The shipwreck was also very cool, with a ton of fish. Both spots were perfect for snorkeling- very calm and clear with plenty to see. The beach area was also gorgeous- crystal blue water, light surf, easy to walk the beach or swim around. This was another perfect excursion. (2nd excursion)-RC 4 x 4 Adventure and Green Monkey Encounter: Fantastic! Of course I wanted to see the monkeys in their natural habitat (not the sad ones on the leashes) and man were there a ton of them. They are not captive but at the nature reserve they take you to they do daily feedings at 2 pm and all the animals come out to eat. I saw so many monkeys, a mom holding a baby, young ones playing around in the trees...plus a Mara, parrots, peacocks, tortoise aplenty, and some Brocket Deer. Amazing, and the grounds were lush and beautiful. It took about 30-40 minutes to get to the reserve and we were there for about an hour. From there our driver took us to a beach on that side of the island called Bathsheba where you could roam and explore and there was also a restaurant/bar there called De Garage Bar & Grill. This area was stunning, rough, dark, with huge rocks- a stark contrast to the crystal blue sea from the a.m. excursion. Then back to the port with a quick tour of downtown Bridgetown on the way. Another memorable and amazing excursion. We left Barbados at 8 pm so there was plenty of time to roam the port and shop (we were supposed to leave at 5 but it was changed to 8pm which was nice).
