    Yes, when we were in St. Kitts I bought a bottle of Mount Gay that came in a diver's wetsuit, taylored to fit the bottle perfectly. I'm looking for reserves or limited editions that don't make it here. Just like Bacardi Anejo is readily available in the islands, but not here. Same with CSR, which I brought back from St. Kitts also.

    I like Barbados. Harrison's Cave is a great tour. I did the Silver Moon catamaran once and thought it was terrific.

    Great Beach

    But I can't remember the name of it. It was way back in 96 and the driver said he would take us where we could have good snorkeling and a nice beach and he delivered. However I don't know that we could find it again.
    Have a GREAT day! Gayla

    There are actually no bad beaches in Barabados. They are all Great!!

    I believe though a lot of snorkellin is done off the west coast...So a beach on the west coast is probably the best for all u snorkellers.
    Can't Wait for My NEXT Cruise!

    Cruises to Date: Carnival Triumph - April 2006, Carnival Victory - April 2009, Carnival Valor - April 2010 (honeymoon cruise), RCCL - Adventure of the Seas - April 2011

    I absolutely LOVE Barbados!

    When we went we did a "Kayak & Snorkel/Swim with Sea Turtles" shorex. We did it through the ship so I don't know the tour operators name, but if you like to snorkel and kayak, it was amazing!

    We weren't allowed to swim after the sea turtles, but we didn't have to, they came right over to us.

    It's my favorite shorex that I've ever done in the Caribbean.

    Our absolute favorite is the TIAMI FIVE-STAR CATAMARAN WIH LUNCH & TURTLE ENCOUNTER.

    It last about 5 1/2 hours and is a very wonderful way to spend the day in Barbados! We've been on many (probably too many ) catamarans in the Caribbean and while some others ... not all ... have been excellent ... this one is our favorite.


    The 5 hour excursion is better than the 3 hour!
