Cruising the Caribbean?

Re: Cruising the Caribbean?
As I previously suggested.. katheryn at Foster and Ince Cruise Services at Sheraton Mall or Annya Swan who is also Foaster and Ince but possibly based just outside the port area (check the phone book).. or Julie Avery at Going Places Travel in Holetown .. Christine or John with destinations unlimted or June Noel who is an outside sales rep, cruise specialist with Destinations Unlimited.. I highly recommend any of them to assist you with this. for a 13 year old.. and lower end.. try carnival.. departs on Wednesdays.. If you go to any of them.. tell them Sarah/Sunnie sent you .. anyone of them would appreciate the business..

Re: Cruising the Caribbean?
I am going on my first ever cruise in a couple of weeks.. on the Carnival Valor, leaving Bridgetown on the 26th... Bunch of us idiots going running in various islands... but thats by the by...
Have no expectations.. not really sure if I am looking forward to it or not... I know my wife is.. but she has been on a few before...
Will report back to all.. will do my best to sample as much of the experience as possible....

Hi Sunnie, thanks for suggestions. Will follow them up today and let you know how it goes. not at all happy about paying single supplements if I travel alone as I might have to do..

Re: Cruising the Caribbean?
unfortunately the cabins out of Barbados are considered double occupancy and I don't think there is even a Single supplement.. except that you have to pay double as if 2 people are in the cabin....I could be wrong... but that's how it is on these.. very few cabins.. maybe 30 (which is what it used to be, could be more at this point) that can be boarded from Barbados on the Valour.

Re: Cruising the Caribbean?
We have just over 100 people joining the Valour in Barbados later this month, so there must be more than 30 cabins available...no idea if this is the norm though...
June Clarke at The Travel House is another contact, she has managed this trip..

Re: Cruising the Caribbean?
When it first started not to many years ago, there were maybe 10 or 15 cabins available. it went up to about 30 or 35 a few years after.. and it could be maybe 50.. (100 divided by a minimum of 2 people per cabin). but also I believe there are cabins that are purchased through Carnival in the UK that do a fly/cruise from the UK to join here.. so.. there could be more, just not for the local market. (local simply meaning available cabins from Barbados.. not just for Barbados residents or citizens)
