Port Guide: Barbados - Everything We Think You Should Know Before You Go! - ParoDeeJay

[@lindahill3835]

Lots of great information on Barbados. Will be visiting in November on a cruise. What interest most was Black Pirate Party cruise. I was in Barbados 45 years ago and it looks like I did that. And, it was a blast!

[@parodeejay]

Hope you have an amazing time! Yes, we loooooved the Black Pearl party cruise, but sadly they never came back after COVID from what we can see online. Looks like they're permanently closed now!!

[@lindahill3835]

@@parodeejay Oh, that's too bad. I'll visit the Boat Yard.

[@bigmoe6182]

I have been watching you guys for over a yr and I want to let ya know I truly enjoy watching you guys. Ya make me excited about cruising granted we dnt cruise as often as u guys but we cruise often as a family of 5. Ur port guides are funny and very informative and really enjoy it. Keep up the great work we are watching as a family (my 11 yr old son hears ur intro yells "is that parodeejay??" And runs from the back room to sit and watch. WE LOVE YOU DEE AND JAY!!!

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! We’re glad to have ya along for our craziness!! :P

[@cruiselady588]

Great port tour as always! Y’all are the best!

[@mikesherman366]

This was great. I loved the original video with the pirate ship. It appeared the rum punch would slap you around. BTW I watched some older videos. I loved both of your covers of "Crazy". You are both talented.

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

I love all your port guides, we have been to all of them, but there is always room to learn something new, and believe me we have learned a lot from you. We have been following you since Adventures of the Seas. Love your vlogs!!!

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! Glad to have you along for our craziness!! :P

[@bruciethecuz9031]

Thank you guys for your continued Port Guide series. Wife and I enjoyed watching Barbados and St. Kitts while enjoying a big ole Philly cheese steak from Jersey Mikes subs. Yum. On our future 10 nighter in 2021 (God willing all this stuff happening now is behind us) , they are on the itinerary for the Sky Princess. Love your channel, getting caught up on cruise and travel vlogs while hunkered down here in Central Jersey!!

[@parodeejay]

Daaang, philly cheesesteak sounds good right about now!! :D

[@cruisingthrulifewithcindyh4483]

I go to the boatyard everytime! Its 5.00 over and that's it then 25.00 to get on the boatyard. That includes your ride back to ship! Included in the 25.00 is a snorkel excursion. They run on a schedule and it takes you to 2 places. Also theres a water park to slide down or jump on and a rope swing . Great food( highly suggest the wings) bucket of beer is cheap too. And on top of that FREE YES FREE SHOTS! YOULL HEARA HORN SOUND... then you go to bar and open your mouth! Theres a few different shots premade and they free pour it to all! Yummm. Lounge chairs and umbrella is also included and theres always a guy in a boatyard shirt to help you!there are a few locals that come around to sell jewelry and cool stuff. Have bought jewelry everytime( anklet) and great quality. Great fun!

[@annemaresca3210]

Love the boatyard too😊

Just watched this video. We did the Atlantis Submarine in Hawaii (Hilo). They have it on several of the islands so when you go you could try it there. Ours went down 106 feet. We saw two sharks lots of different coral and fish. My husband is 6 foot and he didn't have any trouble with it. You sit on seats going down the middle and kind of lean over to look out the porthole, so the taller you are the more you will have to bend. It is a great short excursion, leaving time for more exploring.

[@parodeejay]

That sounds awesome! I always worry with being to tall for those submarines, ha ha. But we might have to give it a try eventually!! :D

[@jenouveau]

Hi there! New subscriber here 😁 Thank you so much for your videos! They're so informative and fun! Can't wait to cruise again but until then, I'm so glad I have your videos to enjoy 😍

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! Here's hoping that the cruising world gets back to semi-normal sooner rather than later!!

[@JanetGoesSomewhere]

For the Harrison Cave tour, you get in an open truck/bus and they drive you thru the cave. It was actually kind of nice. I remember you had to pick out a helmet and they gave you a paper napkin for protection between your head/hair and the helmet. Perhaps the helmet part has changed as that was a while ago.

[@XslyproductionsX]

You're pronouncing it correctly jay lol 👍🏼🇧🇧 Edit : 😫 our port is soooo.... "you came here for the island so go in on the island" lol

[@lorettachapman4244]

We did the Harrison cave tour, it was awesome!, they take you down in a tram to the caves!

[@simplyatsea6779]

Heading back to Barbados 🇧🇧 on the Freedom of the Seas in December 2021. First RCCL cruise. Did a similar itinerary on the Carnival Fascination and it was the BEST! Would love to see a similar video on St. Lucia! Love your vlogs. 😊

[@parodeejay]

Thankee thankee! We haven’t been to St. Lucia yet but we’ve got it in our future!! :P

[@philipdouglas5911]

Barbados is the starting point for two British cruise lines - Marella and P+O. Both fly cruisers into Bridgetown from the UK. My cruise gives me a day on the island before we set sail so need to decide what to do. A mile is not that far to walk but hopefully P+O will put on a shuttle bus into town.

[@michelleduffee7261]

I've missed you guys! Hope you having a blast on you month at sea...lol

[@scottscaneh]

Just booked a Southern one in 2021 going out of San Juan to St Thomas, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, and Barbados. Lots of firsts on this cruise for me.

[@parodeejay]

Nice! The southern loop is a lot of fun!! :D

[@dianeallen7313]

Can you link your cruise video showing you guys in Barbados? I enjoyed the clips in this port guide but i'd love to see the whole thing. Thanks

[@parodeejay]

Of course! We've got our pirate ship excursion from 2019 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmjdin6gfcl8nbM and our beach excursion from 2018 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuymWClrciFkJI

[@willgaukler8979]

[@toniabarlow8752]

[@parodeejay]

They shut down during COVID, sadly!!

[@tod2992]

Hi D hi Jay. Thanks for letting me in the FB group. If I post on there does only the group members see it or does it also post to my personal FB news thread?

[@parodeejay]

Just goes to the group members!!

[@betsybaldwin4342]

you kids rock

[@stevebartley628]

Looks like the pirate cruise is out of business

[@parodeejay]

Yes, they were shut down during COVID apparently. Boo!!

[@notsosuavemate]

You mean Jolly Roger? 🏴‍☠️ yeah the owner died so they tried to sell it but to me it was gonna be scrapped at any minute

[@willgaukler8979]

... don't forget the sun screen your close to the equator now remember ... Did you know Mahogany Wood comes from there too ? ...

[@2226robin]

2.75 points out of max 10 or max 5 ?

[@uPTQiuesCp]

can you use a birth certificate to get off ship to tour?

[@parodeejay]

Birth certificate is typically fine for US citizens, as long as your cruise starts and ends at the same port. You just take your cruise card and photo ID off the ship with you for a tour. We always travel with passports just in case, for our own peace of mind though!!

[@uPTQiuesCp]

@@parodeejay ok thank u so much im gonna book

[@cruisingthrulifewithcindyh4483]

Oh and theres basketball shuffle board and a spot with a sigh to drop off your husband while you shop lol showers and foot washing also

[@Cookie_pookieee]

Oh come on guys you didn’t even mention pelican village where all the other shopping huts are just next to the port outside so I say we get 3.05 🤓😅🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

[@parodeejay]

Oops, we must not have discovered that area, ha ha... we love Barbados, but we always try to come in with a cool plan for the day!! :P

[@tonykelpie]

Cruising is not the best way to see Barbados. The system seems set up to extract money as efficiently as possible. Staying for a couple of weeks in a low cost hotel or guest house is much better-and ask the locals about what to do/where to go. The local people are the biggest plus
