Barbados on Easy Mode

The cruise port Barbados is a beautiful island rich with history and amazing sights today. Today I did Barbados on easy mode with a trip to Harrison's Cave that included an aviary visit and rum tasting of the world first rum, Mount Gay. There is also an extensive cruise terminal area with shops and restaurants. This was part of my Carnival Journey's cruise on the the Carnival Pride.

Tony I LIKE watching your videos on Cruise News, but I LOVE watching your videos when you are cruising and taking us along on your adventures.

[@katherinepace7369]

Me too!

[@deirdrekokora8680]

Absolutely the best part! I wanna know what you’re doing. I wanna know what you’re eating. I wanna see what the tours look like. I wanna know what Barbados looks like. This is exactly what I like from a Travel Channel.

[@heatherkay2206]

Agree 1000%

[@nancys3626]

Hi Tony, I love Barbados!!! ❤️

[@LadyDee150]

Me too!! This video was such a treat💕💕💕

[@sunsetwatcher5368]

"Molasses, not the backend of moles"??? Only you, Tony!! I enjoyed the tour and the towel animal menagerie.

[@JilSpangenberg-ys7fz]

Hahahaha

[@suereed1]

I wanted to tell you this what people want to see , seeing excursions and what there is to see on them. Keep on doing this , it is the right move for more viewers, I don't want to see you just talk about the ship all the time show you doing things so we feel we are right with you there. You changed your style and I like what I see. Keep it up !!

[@trbstang]

It's obvious that someone onboard watches you and knows about you and the towel animals! 😂 I'm glad they are growing on you. Thanks for the tour Tony!!!

[@johnkean6852]

I thought they were terry towel terrors. Oh! Just me then.

[@Andrew-B324]

I was born in Barbados, however I now live in the US. I’m always happy to see people visit the island and go to Harrison‘s Cave. Next time try to make it to the east side of the island. It’s more of an authentic island vibe.

[@mattiemathis9549]

Thanks for mentioning this. I think cruising is a great way to see a glimpse of a place you might want to visit. My daughter informed me that I don’t want to cruise, I want to travel. 😂 I appreciate the tourist areas, but I really want to find out if this is a place I want to stay for a week or a year. 😂

[@themoldcars]

Look at me I went to Barbados on my lunch break!!! Thanks Tony.

[@robk1310]

Barbados is a very clean and very safe island. Also a financial center and is one of the best islands. And…..never gets hit with hurricanes.

[@sweetpepper13]

Well ... rarely. I'm 45 and experienced my first one in 2021. Prior to that, it was 1955 when my mom was a kid.

[@shayj5124]

Sweetie one can never have Too Much rum in Barbados. Magnificent island and great people.

[@jenettewood4069]

Tony you make my days a lot brighter. I have had a few sad ones lately and seeing you and experiencing your humor has helpef me so much . Thanks

[@jayniesteel1702]

I'm wearing my Barbados shirt today.. I absolutely love Barbados..

[@sl4193]

👏 A new La Lida Loca video and the treat of seeing more towel animals to start the day. Thank you, Tony.

[@katis7673]

Love the towel animal army! 😂

[@pameladocherty7034]

Brought back so many memories Tony. Our feet didn’t touch the ground on the 23rd March when they evicted the last of the cruise Brits as they wanted us off the island as the world closed down due to Covid. We had an armed escort from the ship to the plane!

[@CreamyJalapeno]

Oh wow! I had forgotten we visited that cave in 2019. We sailed the Carnival Fascination from San Juan with an amazing itinerary!

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

We’ll be in Barbados tomorrow, Wednesday We had the Sky with us in St Lucia, today, Tuesday!

[@kenbtheman]

I was there two weeks ago. We bought popcorn in the terminal shopping center. It was terrible, we threw it out. On the other hand, the ice cream parlor right near the popcorn stand had home made ice cream and was fantastic.

[@deborahemans9180]

You rock the lunch lady look🤣

[@raybearNC]

The Harrison Caves and the Aviary looked amazing! You're a great tour guide, thanks for letting us tag along! Looks like a lot of fun! I think I need to give cruising a try, I've learned so much from watching your channel! A quick word about the sunscreen, mineral sunscreens leave that white residue, called "casting" on your skin, there are "clear" or "ultra clear" sunscreens available that don't leave the casting. Just make sure it's SPF 30 or above & broad-spectrum (UVA & UVB) protection, and reapply every 2 hours, per directions. But kudos to you for using sunscreen and protecting that handsome face! 😊👍🌞

[@giovanninabucci8716]

Apply sunscreen on your ears too ! and it's a piece of art on your head LOL

[@diamondpearlgem7589]

I had twelve towel animals in my cabin the morning I left the Legend. I was going to ransom them off when my cabin steward ran out. Joke was on me.😂

[@user-vj4wi5qh7k]

Over 37 years ago, began my first cruise from Barbados. A monumental cruise with 13 stops in 14 days. Remember on disembarkation day (back in Barbados) renting a car and heading to the airport at 5pm for the flight home (Charter) only to be told to head back to the ship as our plane would not arrive till the next morning. Back then Harrison caves still looked the same as your video, but with only a single motorized car, not a whole tram.

[@anapolyte8687]

So close to St. Lucia, Tony!! Which is where I live. NCL Sky was here today. Love your videos! I get all my cruise news from you. Take a cruise coming to SLU, I would love a photo with you!!

[@user-fe9dl3xu4g]

Tony, be on the lookout for flying fish when you are in the Southern Caribbean. We always see them. They usually start flying near the wake of the side of the ship. If you’re up pretty high on the ship you have to watch carefully as they will look quite small. They will hop up near the ship & fly out quite a ways! They are often in little groups with 10 - 12 flying out for 20 - 30 feet. They look amazing! Enjoyed your videos. We watch them everyday & look forward to them! Thanks Tony for your humor & great content! You always make me smile!

[@SueBohlinDallas]

Flying fish sandwiches in Barbados are THE BEST!!!!

[@timmccartney2367]

I was in Barbados 40 years ago and spent my time on the beach.

[@SandNSurf]

🎶 Follow the yellow brick road 🎶. That was fantastic 😅👏

[@reaper2478]

I wish my itinerary had Barbados as a visit.. it does look super easy going!

[@FireWaterCooking]

I really love Barbados, one of my favorite islands

[@janicebrianmozeski2208]

Did Atlantis submarine excursion in Barbados through Princess. It was amazing!

[@markkask4427]

Been to Barbados many times, great island to visit. Took private taxis a few times. Great taxi drivers, one that we had was Hector, I believe his nick name is Ping. His cab was a beat up Toyota corolla, didn't belong to him he just drove it. He treated us very well, did all the things we asked, found us a great place for flying fish cutters (sandwich). The last time we went we walked to the boatyard beach. Had a great time, highly recommended. They also provid free shuttle ride back to ship. Banks beer and flying fish yeah!

[@nerdmom6]

Thank you Tony so much for this cave tours I have severe claustrophobia and would never have been able to do this to her so thank you so much

[@Elderly-Marian-in-UK]

50 years ago Barbados Docks wasn't all big and commercial like it is today. I went there on a cruise back in 1970. It was a small landing pier then, and much smaller ships, and none of the hoo ha and bustle. It's interesting to see the vast changes. Their flag was different back then. Prob due to being a British territory long before their independence. Thanks for the tour. X

[@Shantelle6253]

I love Barbados, the botanical gardens are beautiful. Be sure to take a poncho 😅

[@reefsharkmark]

Thanks for taking me back to Barbados. I left on a cruise from there a year ago, and this brought back some memories. I love that island.

[@EM_ARCHER]

NICE 🇧🇧 BARBADOS SIGN

[@pen4tenn]

We did that in Barbados and loved it. It was a great change from the heat and sun.I really enjoyed it.

[@Joy-of8fc]

That cave was coooool and scary at the same time

[@loishaffner9483]

It is amazing that all of the shops make a profit. There is just so much you can buy.

[@krich987]

LOVE Barbados! My favorite port of all time 🏖️

[@patriciareynolds1800]

Not usually a tour person, but this looks worthwhile!

[@harriettebarker7094]

Barbados. My island home. Hope you enjoy your day. Be careful with the rum punch. Have fun.

[@pamelathomas7209]

Thank you. For years i have been trying to figure out where was i when i road thru a cave. It was in fact Barbados over 30 years ago. Finally.

[@leslietrent3682]

Tony you rock another one of my favorite islands. I see you did the same tour I did once. I’m a shopaholic I forgot I had to lug all those bags back. Lol😅 Enjoy your trip 😊

[@patriciawillig8459]

Barbados what a beautiful island.

[@arnitapalmer4886]

Very informative video! Thank you!!!Going to Barbados and other islands later this year... Can't wait!!!

[@kellyn7184]

My most favorite island ❤️ I wish it was offered on more cruises.

[@RobinWalls-pk1mp]

Definitely will look into a tour to Harrison Cave next time we stop in Barbados. Enjoyed your tour immensely!!

[@Jeff-and-Joe]

We were in Barbados on Vision of the Seas two weeks ago. Very much enjoyed the Food Walking Tour of Bridgetown. Excellent bites, good local beer, and a wonderful guide who made us feel local. On the downside, it poured rain. It was very much needed, but it did stir up the sewage in the gutters and that splashed all over my legs causing an outbreak of cellulitis. $170 later the ship's doctor had me hooked up on antibiotics and all cleared up.

[@jlawrence0181]

If you have had issues with cellulitis in the past, you might want to carry antibiotics from home. That infection can be extremely aggressive and reach sepsis in hours/

[@Jeff-and-Joe]

@@jlawrence0181 Nope. First time. Never experienced anything like it before. I will say I was impressed with Royal's medical program. A travelling companion needed medical while on NCL and the cost was three times higher!

[@jlawrence0181]

@@Jeff-and-Joe I thought that price was pretty comparable to standard US pricing. Cellulitis is not too bad if you get treatment within six hours

[@emilydami7887]

Love Barbados especially the Jolly Roger. Lots of fun

[@sonnyev5451]

WOW! Barbados seems like quite the beautiful place to visit. As for all those towels...Descendants of a car wash Bahama Mama!!! So I heard 😂😂😂😂 Great work on this one, Tony & Co!!! Thank yall for everything yall do!!!

[@charlottedowns6652]

Tony, thankyou for another great port day! You share your travel experiences in such a way that we all can enjoy both you and the port!! Travel safe....!

[@johnstoutley7421]

Tony, another well done video...gives us all a good idea of that Tour. Thanks for taking the effort to show us around Barbados and what's available at the Terminal.

[@candacekemo452]

Love your content! You da bomb! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@billybob7088]

Mt Gay has a visitor center right outside the port with a great restaurant. You can also make a special appointment to visit the distiller too, which is on the north side of the island

[@lillianblair6071]

Good evening Tony. Usually watch the crews news videos but have enjoyed this tour of the Caribbean Islands as one day wish I could do this. When we went to Puerto Rico for a business conference way back in the days we went to the Bacardi Rum Factory real early in the morning and they showed you the processes it goes through and various flavours of rum brewing. By the time we were done was soooo woozy from all the sniffing and breathing of the fumes it was quite funny. Then had a lunch buffet where you got 2 rum tickets and could have your choice of drinks. It was a very interesting tour. I liked the Harrison Cave tour that was very interesting. Thanks for sharing. HAGN.

[@m.hreels9822]

Tony downing that rum like a champ 🏆🍻

[@maryannfox1774]

the Pride was our very first Carnival cruise in 2006! 20 cruises later we are Carnival family booked on 6 more this year and next! Doing Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao in February 2025 on the Horizon. Cant wait! Love your videos!

[@carolynabey9509]

Thanks for the tour of Barbados. You did a fantastic job. I may never get there, but I feel as if I was there with you. ❤

[@rew3103]

👍! Petta=towel animals=annoying and adorable. Love it and thanks :)

[@davidsmith8853]

My first Navy cruise was a UNITAS cruise in '87. We went through the Eastern Carribean, around South America, through the Panama Canal and back home. Our stop in Barbados introduced me to flying fish sandwiches which are delicious!

[@MaxGrey03]

Ohhh, Diamonds International, don't see those everyday. Oh, wait ...

[@FloridaGiGi]

Thank you for taking us through Barbados! I’ll be there the end of November, on the celebrity eclipse. I’m counting the days and looking forward to each port, all new islands to me. 😊

[@andymaher3956]

Barbados for the even lazier…. Harbour Lights. Perfect beach day.

[@robk1310]

Been there also. Agree.

[@wendysoulliere1305]

You make me laugh with the towel animals.

[@Sam.I.am_]

This was a great video! I loved watching the tour- I would like to do that one day when I get to go to Barbados! Some of my favorite content are when you do Port and excursion videos. I don’t get to cruise near as often as I would like so seeing content like this helps me decide what to do when I visit different ports. Because of your video of you and Jenny B in (whispering) Roatan, I knew way before our cruise last year that we would do the sloth excursion tour! It was probably the best tour (so far) that I’ve got to experience with my daughter and we both loved it so much. Also while I’m sitting here at work I get to watch your videos and for a few minutes I can escape and be on the ship or an island with you. Content like this really means so much to me! Also very sweet way to honor their daughter by hiding ducks and I look forward to seeing the big pretty duck on the LLL shelf 🥰

[@margaretharris]

We went to that cave tour guide was very nice. Very cool.

[@ParrotplaySix]

When the bus dropped you off at the terminal, if you walk straight ahead for a bit, on your left there is a little village with shops and restaurants.

[@Liz.R]

Towel animals play w/the mind as you sleep..like hufflepuffs and baddozzels (Pooh) My itineraries never took me to Barbados, lovely tour & be sure to beware of that following NCL ship lol. Thx Tony👍🏻

[@robertbehrens7354]

We been to Barbados love it very much

[@JilSpangenberg-ys7fz]

I cannot breathe just WATCHING THAT train into the cave!!! I could not do that.

[@TurboNorm]

Very good imagery from your camera in the cave. Enjoyed watching the excursion. Have never been to Barbados.

[@jenbrooks5872]

Omg a cave without 100000 steps. What a fabulous excursion. I loved the caves in Bermuda but doing both, I ended up getting heat sickness. (We went in July) so I passed on other caves with stairs on last cruise. This is a must do for us next time we do the ABCs!❤

[@janicerae6104]

So enjoyed this adventure with you, Tony. I went on the Harrison Caves excursion with my brother & sister-in-law in '22 from HAL Koningsdam. Loved it. Wish we could have done the rum tasting, tho, sure looked like fun.

[@susantam5681]

I love Barbados!! I’ve been there myself on a Norwegian cruise ship. Have fun! Went to the beach. Water is so warm.

[@shaunreid2152]

Green Monkey chocolates is an awesome store. Really well made and thoughtful chocolates and truffles. Their merchandising is superb too!

[@sditch1]

Another great video! Not sure cruisin will ever be something I'll be able to do so I appreciate you taking us along with your adventures, it's almost like being there. Only problem is I sometimes get a little dizzy when I'm trying to read a sign or focus on something when you suddenly pan around. 🤣 Keep up the good work and keep having fun on your trip.

What a great day, thanks!

[@didid7880]

I went through Harrison Cave in 1994. We were only a few minutes into the tour when the tram broke down and we had to walk out the rest of the way. Being severely claustrophobic, I didn't stop to look at anything; all I could do is think about getting out of there. Never went back... I remember that my husband really like it though!

[@rachelolvera9435]

The aviary was fascinated

That has to be my favorite...lol

[@sheilakauvar5499]

We took the Harrison Cave tour last year. BEST tour ever! They have done a fantastic job maintaining the area.

[@BumbleBB]

This was such a cool cave tour. I loved that it was on a motorized cart too, so it wasn't limited to those of us that can walk unassisted for long periods of time. This way everyone could enjoy the sights. ♥♥

[@sheilakauvar5499]

As one with some motion issues, you absolutely nailed it. I was so thrilled to be able to have this experience!😊

Barbados has a place called Oistins Fish Fry in Christchurch that is a fish lovers paradise. It's every Friday night and there is every kind of fish you can imagine. It's been years since I went to Barbados and this video makes me want to go back

[@beckymungo1333]

I love the towel animals

[@monikaliebold4225]

Thanks for the video. I was within B2B cruising two times at Barbados. Played at famous Sandy Lane Golf - due to high fees of renting clubs for guests at golf courses, always having my own clubs with me. Played twice both The Green Monkey Course and The Old Nine Course. Very expensive greenfee - but both courses money worth it with fabulous views and one of the best maintenance and guest service at golf courses all over the world I played at.

This cave tour is amazing! Tony, I can’t thank you enough for filming inside! Imagine a waterfall inside a cave that you can touch. There is a group who explore caves, like a group that scuba’s. I think it might be Splunkers?
