In Trinidad, and all of the Caribbean, you can buy Mount Gay Rum all the time. I have a flask I got free when we were there in 2004 on the Carnival Destiny.
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.
We have been there quite a few times -- best tour we have enjoyed: Harrisons Caves -- they just reopened in March 2008.
We agree, Harrisons Caves are not to be missed. They were amazing and great pictures!! Glad to hear they are reopened, want to go again and see what they havedone to the caves.

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 NEXT Cruise
2nd Cruise - Carnival Destiny in
I'm on my date with Destiny
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.
Judy It's hard to SOAR with Eagles, if you Fly with Turkeys!
Big Red Boat 11/1994 (Bahamas); HAL Rotterdam 9/1996(Alaska); Carnival Sensation 5/2000 (W. Carib); Carnival Tropicale 8/2000 (W. Carib); Carnival Destiny 6/2002 (S. Carib); Carnival Miracle 5/2004 (E. Carib); Carnival Legend 1/2005 (Exotic W. Carib); Louis Emerald 3/2005 (Greek Isles); RCI Explorer of the Seas (Bermuda) 9/2008
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!
