Just back from an unbelievable cruise sailing around the warm Caribbean on the Britannia.
The Caribbean was the perfect place to leave behind the wet and windy UK. The Britannia, with our balcony cabin, was the perfect ship to enjoy the experience.
We were so pleased that we had booked a standard balcony cabin on G Deck with its excellent facilities instead of an inside cabin. The balcony with its 2 comfortable chairs and table was the perfect place to enjoy our morning cuppa as we sailed into a different Caribbean island on 9 mornings. What can be better than waking up on a December morning, pulling back the curtains, opening the balcony doors and stepping into the early morning warm Caribbean sunshine. I read from one of the professional moaners that the balcony was too small - too small for what? Too small for a party yes, but ample for 2 people to enjoy a drink, read a book, have a chat or just marvel at the scenery. Everything else in the cabin was perfect, large bed, powerful shower, large screen TV, fridge, towels and all well looked after be the cabin boy.

Port Reviews
Barbados
Walked to the beach in front of the Boatyard bar and restaurant, took about 30 minutes. Beach lovely. You pay 15$ for beds, shade, a drink and a taxi back to port - excellent.
Antigua
Shared a taxi to Church Valley (or Valley Church) beach. Lovely beach, quite busy at first. Most trips leave at 3pm so book your taxi return for 4pm, you will have the beach almost to yourselves.
St. Maarten
Got the water taxi to the main beach. Beach nice and many duty free shops behind it.
Tortola
Again took a taxi to the beach, driver very helpful and stopped a few times to allow us to take photos.
Grand Turk
Ship docks almost on the beach. Nice lazy day swimming and resting.
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Shared taxi to Honeysuckle beach. Cracking rum punch...
Dominica
Shared a mini bus to Emerald Waterfalls and rain forest. Very informative guide came with us and made for a very interesting day.
St. Lucia
Much busier island than I imagined. Ended up on a beach in front of a Sandals hotel which was nice.
Grenada
Took a water taxi to nearest beach for 7$ I think. Beach was long and sandy, excellent value.
