April 30, 2015  Barbados

We arrived into Barbados at 7:00am.  We had an early breakfast and headed to the beach before 9am.

We decided to go to Carlyisle Beach as it was recommended by a few of the crew.  We had looked into some of the resort day passes but since we are only here till 3:00pm and have to be back on board by 2:30 and Bill wants to find a cigar shop so we figured we didn’t have enough time.  So we took a Taxi to the Boatyard bar and restaurant.  It was $15. a person this included a locker, lounge chair, umbrella, rest rooms, and showers and one drink either alcoholic or not and transfers back to the ship!

We were the first ones on the beach and it was the most beautiful white sandy beach and the bluest water.  About 4 other couples from the ship showed up and we just enjoyed it.  I was so relaxed I could have stayed there forever but even with sunscreen Bill was starting to burn so we packed up and were getting ready to head out.  As we were leaving all the crew were arriving.  The taxi driver dropped us at the cigar shop that was in walking distance of the ship so that was great.  We walked around the outdoor mall and then walked back to the ship.  We showered and relaxed.  Last night was the Concert  “Billy Joel”  we have seen this every segment and enjoy it as much as the first time.  Tomorrow we will be in St. Thomas.  This was not on our itinerary but we were informed quite a while ago that Miami could not handle immigration for the whole ship and crew so we had to give up Grand Turk and go to St. Thomas for immigration.  We are not expected to get in until 2pm and will be there until 10pm.

Did someone say “SHOPPING”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The water is the same no matter where you take your picture

Nice place we had the first lounges.  

Beautiful white sand beach
