RE: Is this possible time-wise?

[firefighterjake]

First off . . . wow . . . this is a fantastic site . . . especially for a brand-new-never-thought-I-would-ever-book-a-cruise kind of a guy.

 

Anyways, a few questions.

 

My wife and I are considering hiring Cameron Reid or another taxi service to see Harrison's Cave and the Wildlife Reserve . . . and if possible I would like to stop off at Sunbury Plantation and/or the St. Nicholas Abbey. To start with . . . is this possible to do time-wise without feeling overly rushed . . . and to make sure we don't miss the boat?

 

Second, is there a way either here or on-board that folks can post what they're considering doing at port to see if other folks would like to join them? I guess what I'm really asking is that I was wondering how one would see if anyone would like to split the cost of the cab/fee to save money . . . assuming of course that they would want to see these places as well.

 

We're on board Carnival Destiny and in Barbados on March 26th at 8, leaving at 5 p.m.

 

Thank you in advance to any that can help answer these questions.

Best place to start is on the roll call for your sail date for finding other's to join you on excursions. I think it's here

- is this possible to do time-wise without feeling overly rushed

and to make sure we don't miss the boat? ===> Yes, but get going early.

 

 

We're on board Carnival Destiny and in Barbados on March 26th at 8,

- leaving at 5 p.m. ===> And she is punctual!

Destiny will sail in at 7 a.m. (set your watch)

and leave at 5 p.m (set watch again!) - trust me.

 

 

Yes you can do all those places, but have breakfast early

and get off the ship by 9 and get going.

 

Do Sunbury first, (Southern-ish part of the island)

(then St.Johns Ch. maybe?)-(East-central part of the island)

- then Harrisons Caves(dead-Central part of the island)

then Wildlife Reserve (North of the island, with Farley Hill cool-out-spot next door)

with Nicholas Abbey not far away(also North end).

She pulls away from the dock at 5 sharp.

Usual instructions are for passengers to be back by 4

but those who live dangerously might plan for a realistic 4:30
