OK - There is a question that has been bothering me. Maybe someone can answer it.

I see reports that Harrison cave is now open again after having been closed to visitors, and everyone seems very glad that they can go again.

But I don't know why it was closed... does anyone know?

Sheila, Harrison's Cave was closed for 18 months so they could renovate and expand this natural wonder.

The 5 hour excursion is better than the 3 hour!
Was this booked through the ship or on your own ????

Zig ... We've almost always booked it when in Barbados on Princess Cruises.

Happily, I have already booked it for our upcoming January cruise on Emeral Princess.

Tiami 5-Star Cat. w/Lunch & Turtles

It's the absolute BEST catamaran we've ever taken anywhere ... even when they did it without the turtle stop!

Thanks, Zig, for the info -- booking the ship vs. booking privately. We've always booked through the ship.

You are right: Think this could be so good for Jim!

As you know, my DH is still in PT from a fall with shoulder and leg issues. Hopefully, this will be all over by January ... but, immediately booked this excursion because even if he is having some problem ... the catamaran crew (at least in the past) goes way over and above to make sure everyone has a great time!

The port was OK, loved the interiior and the beach area on the other side of the island. The Green Monkey Reserve was way cool!

Although it rained hard all day when we were there, we really liked Barbados. The caves were closed due to flooding, but still had a good tour ending at the Mount Gay Rum Distillery, where I'm happy to report that the free samples were unlimited.
