We are officially in BARBADOS! 🛳️😍 Join us for our first proper day exploring this beautiful Caribbean island and soaking up cruise life on board Britannia.
We start the morning heading up to the Horizon buffet for breakfast while checking out the view from the lido deck and spotting the other ships docked in Bridgetown port 🥰 There is something so exciting about waking up somewhere new and seeing the sunshine and palm trees waiting for you.
After a yummy breakfast we head off the ship and walk through the terminal, showing you the shops, stalls, and what the port area looks like before finding a taxi to Carlisle Bay Beach. We also chat through taxi prices and how it all works so you know what to expect if you visit 😍
Carlisle Bay turns out to be absolutely gorgeous. We show you the activities on offer, the beautiful clear water, and spend the loveliest time paddling, building sand castles, and even making mermaid tails out of sand 🤣 We somehow manage to dodge the rain too which felt like a miracle.
Back on board we find a wonderfully quiet pool for the kids to enjoy which feels like such a win 🥰 We grab lunch from the grab and go stations around the lido deck, chat through buffet options and kids club timings, and attempt the music quiz which goes about as well as you would expect 🤦🏻♀️🤣
That evening brings a bit of a juggling act. Kids club is open late for one night only, after our dining time, so Phil waits with the kids, drops them off, then runs down to join us while we order for him and make a start on our starters. He still manages to catch us up quickly though 🤣
After dinner we head to the Live Lounge to watch The Noise Next Door and it ends up being one of the funniest shows ever. Very silly, very spontaneous, and exactly my kind of humour 🤣
We finish the evening picking up the kids, with Caspian completely fast asleep which is always such a sweet end to the day 🥹 then it is back to the cabin ready for tomorrow.
Next time we have our first full sea day with lots of pool time, a gym session, formal night, the captain’s cocktail party, amazing food, and the Headliners Theatre Company’s first show of the cruise 🛳️🥰
If you love cruise vlogs, family travel, Caribbean adventures, or just want a peek into life on Britannia, you are in the right place.
