2021 Caribbean Cruise: Bridgetown, Barbados

August 15, 2026September 8, 2021 by Suzanne Klasen

I can’t say enough about how much I loved visiting Barbados. The people are so welcoming and the island so beautiful! It is hard not to love this amazing island. Barbados has some of the most extensive and exacting protocols for visitors during the Pandemic. All guests must arrive with not only proof of Covid-19 Vaccination, but also a 72 Hour PCR test.

This was our 3rd time to visit Skagway, so it gave us the chance to enjoy the town at its quietest. I highly recommend the train excursion or the coach excursion along that opposing highway. Both offer tremendous views and… Read more
