Royal Clipper, Caribbean
5
Flew to Barbados celebrating our Sapphire Wedding Anniversary.
We had 5 days pre-cruise at beautiful Accra Beach. Enjoyed the locality very much & swimming with Turtles.
Embarked Royal Clipper and enjoyed a beautiful week cruising & visiting the Leeward Islands.
The shore excursions were perhaps a little brief with Martinique being a full day we enjoyed it considerably.
Unfortunately Grenada experienced a torrential downpour and flooding for our day there.
Beach BBQ at Bequia aborted due to weather but we had a fun time paddle boarding and swimming, with light refreshments provided on shore.
Souffriere was enjoyable too but as with many shore visits we didn’t have enough time to make the best of it.
On return we had a further stay for one week at Barbados Sandals Royal... it was fabulous.
As an Ex-Royal Navy ratIng I have enjoyed commissions of over 7.5 months via SA
out to Guam in the Pacific.
And on return from that a further 3.5 months in the Med.
I was hesitant to cruise having had almost 16months touring the colonies in just two years of my total initial service...but delighted with the outcome.
