Creator's Key Takeaways

Barbados was the first stop on my P and O britania cruise and it was everything you could hope for in a Caribbean destination

the powdery white sand warm turquoise Waters and laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind

Maho Beach this beach is world famous for being right next to Princess Juliana Airport meaning that planes fly just meters above your head

it was an absolutely thrilling experience standing on the beach watching the Jets come in so close

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pre-book ferry tickets to Bequia in advance as spaces can fill up quickly
✓Be aware that the floating bridge in Willemstad moves to let ships through so you might have to wait or take the free ferry
✓Hold on to your belongings at Maho Beach due to powerful jet blast from planes
✓Share a minibus in Antigua to save money on transport to the beach
✓Visit the underwater sculpture park in Grenada for a unique snorkeling experience

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of taxis and beach clubs — Taxi rides from port to beach clubs in Barbados cost around $5-$10 each way and entry fees for Harbor Lights were about $25 including a welcome drink
Getting to Bequia from St Vincent — The speedboat ride is incredibly bumpy and everyone gets soaked but it's worth it; pre-book ferry tickets in advance
Crowds at popular beaches — Sorobon Beach in Bonaire was busier than expected but still beautiful; consider visiting less touristy stops like St Vincent
