When we looked out of our cabin balcony as we arrived into Barbados we had a sense that this was one of the more built up islands of the Caribbean. There were quite a few industrial buildings and operations in the shipyard, which still couldn’t deter us away from Barbados’s natural beauty.
Our activity was planned for the afternoon so we had the morning off to walk around the town. We explored through local markets purchasing fresh fruit and tropical trinkets to take home. We felt very safe as we talked to locals about life in Barbados to learn more about the culture of the island.
Snorkeling At a Shipwreck & A Pirate Party
We were due back around lunch time to start our Pirate Party and shipwreck snorkel adventure. Our tour bus dropped us off at a pirate theme boat which took us around the island to a shipwreck. It seemed surreal snorkelling above a coral covered ship, we only wished we had our scuba license to explore further.
The afternoon was a blur – our pirate adventure concluded with plenty of local rum and a party on the top deck. This is still one of the top stories we always share about or Caribbean cruise, the time we had a pirate party in Barbados .
