Having possibly had a previous failure, is one testing one’s function organisational skills? 😉😀

Consider again Orient but this time at Coco or Rainbow on Grand Case

Last time one checked, think the crew entry fee discount was 100% on production of crew ID card. So, crew have a choice, pay for taxi to beach and back, then pay for beds and/or use of facilities, or walk and enter for free. Decisions, decisions. More ships in port, which equates to more crew, therefore more decisions have to be made..

For an “out of the way - off radar” seating with a seaview, knowledgeable Cunarders will head for The Atlantic Room - Deck 11 & The Board Room - Deck 9 (just off The Commodore Club). Trust this assists….

Many years ago, Target used to have them for hire. Failing that, there is a large and very popular, Scooter hire company just outside the port to one’s right. Sorry, their name escapes one. But Google will find it and Target full details

As one’s Grandmother used to say…. ”Without an introduction? - Oh dear”

Agree with one. Had major knee surgery and a shuffle was the only way to walk, being part of one’s physiotherapist recovery program. DW was my “crutch”. Still, brisk walkers made comments such as “get a move on”, “out of my way”, “oh god”, even when there was ample passing areas.

No idea what consideration is found on a shared table now? Migrated away from this concept many years ago.

Better still, is the diverse understanding, interpretation and consideration of the statement “polite orderly queue” 😉

No idea, never use public transport on Caribbean islands. Best go to the stated bus stop and ask. Or ask the tourist board EMAIL: info@visitaandb.com

Canadians and Americans walk on the right side, while English walk on the correct side (left) of hallway

Ask one’s Concierge onboard. As they will organise a wheelchair for the move from ship’s gangway to the taxi rank.

Plus… The ships are decked out wonderfully Cons…Could be many babies, prams, pushchairs, young children etc... As this particular cruise is very popular with crew and land side Cunard employees as an employee benefit cruise, where the whole family can cruise together. Tried once, never repeated.

As an aside. If there are any slight negative thoughts about the quality at Juju’s, no need to be concerned. Because the Royal Westmorland have an “interest”. If one gets the drift. 😉 Let’s put it this way. The RW would not wish their discerning guests using a beach establishment and be disappointed. Juju’s also caters for weddings, private parties, government get togethers etc.

Off ship, straight into the Terminal with shops etc. Then about 3/4 minutes to to cab rank.

It is not possible to walk to the Pitons from Pointe Seraphine within a port call time frame. Take a cab. The cruise dockside/terminal at Pointe Seraphine with shops, bars etc is less than a 1 minute walk from the ship’s gangway.. Then about 3 minutes walk to the cab rank.

For a great “local” lunch, overlooking the sea, then consider Juju’s on the West Coast. Many are unable to find it, so they sadly drive on….. They will be happy to set up a romantic table for two, with umbrella, on the sand. Their “jerk” said it all.

Best to contact a local, but major, FL renter as they will have an outlet in Barbados. Any problems pre or post can be sorted locally in FL

About 20 minutes for one without mobility problems. I for one would not even put a toe in the water of Great Bay.

Holland House Hotel….. Upstairs Restaurant….Overlooking the beach, sea and ships. They have a fabulous (Chef Special) Seafood Platter for two to share. Also their wine list is extensive…. They have a Montrachet to go perfectly with the platter. Book in advance….. Give them a call.

If seeking a special or rare bottle of spirts, then browse Gulmorhars on Front Street
