RunningDeer Posted August 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Have not seen this addressed here.....if a person just wanted to get off the boat and walk around town, are there shops, etc. there? Seems as though going to the beach is the only thing people want to do there! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted August 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yes, it's easy to just get off and do some shopping. The cruise terminal has some nice shops - especially the home made rum cake shop! But you're also close to the main shops of the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're also close to the main shops of the port. Without even leaving the Barbados Cruise Terminalyou'll have a fair variety of Duty Free shopping to do! For more such pictures in the Cruise terminal visit my webpage at URL.. http://www.*****.com/terminal.html And then there's Pelican Village on the left as you walk in the direction of the main shopping area of Broad Street in Bridgetown -as well _________________________________ Check this out as well... http://www.*****.com/scenes.html Lots of Barbados pictures here to give you ideas and get you going! You might see a beach you like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted August 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2008 We loved Barbados! We got a taxi to Carlisle beach for a couple of hours and the driver right away knew we from Liverpool when we spoke. It turned out he'd lived in Liverpool for a couple of years about 10 years ago. He knew where we lived and asked us for updates on lots of bars and clubs he used to go to. There's a lot of ex-Caribbean people in Liverpool. It's a small world! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwalaska Posted August 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Other than Rum, is there something that represents Barbados to bring home as a souvenier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted August 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes! The rum cake is gorgeous. I don't like rum (can't drink spirits at all) but when we were in the cruise terminal there is a rum cake shop that had free samples outside. I had a taste and just fell in love with it. Very moist and tasty, and in different flavours - vanilla, lemon-ginger, chocolate, coffee. They have special offers if you buy a certain number - I think if you bought 4 one was free. Something like that anyway. I bought 8 in the end to take home. I only gave two away as presents and kept the rest! They are delicious. They are vacuum packed and packaged in colourful boxes so are easy to pack away. I just wish they delivered to England as I'd order more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted August 31, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Everything from Duty free rum to clothing. Shops at per and in town as well as Holetown. They deliver the rum to the ship so buy early unless you are buying at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this web site http://www.cruisebarbados.com/bridgetown_cruise_terminal.cfm that talks about the stuff at the pier. If you click on the duty-free shops link, it actually lists the names of a bunch of the shops. Also, if you explore the links on the left side of the page there is info about shopping downtown, buildings to see, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
