Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently took two cruises backtoback on the Windstar Star Pride, traveling from Barbados to Panama.

The ship docked in Scarboro on the island of Tobago.

I was surprised you couldn't make these reservations online prior to embarking.

Frankly, my embarcation day wasn't great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Make reservations for specialty restaurants as soon as you board.
βœ“Pack a few snacks for excursions that extend past lunch.
βœ“Bring a water bottle, which is consistently refilled in your stateroom.

YouTube Video Description↓

Traveling on the Windstar STAR PRIDE, a more intimate cruise ship, was a fabulous experience! This video will share the experience of two cruises back to back that began in Bridgetown, Barbados and ended in Panama City. The cruise was billed as the STAR COLLECTOR: Windward Islands and Spanish New World. I've included an overview of the day to day activities, service, restaurants, and the embarkation and disembarkation process. I've also included a summary of my excursions through Windstar, as well as my self-exploration at the various ports of call. The port stops include Tobago, Bequia, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Curacao, Aruba, Cartagena, Isla Aroma (San Blas Islands), Bocas del Toro and the Panama Canal Transit. Going through the Panama Canal was my ultimate goal for joining this cruise, and it didn't disappoint! It was certainly the highlight of the trip and I was glad I picked a smaller ship to transport me through the canal. There was a solo traveler meet up on the first day of the cruise, which was fabulous for meeting other solo travelers. We kept each other company throughout the cruise.
