Poor disembarkation, and porter lost our luggage.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Aruba

Aruba - Natural Wonders - If you’re handicapped, don’t let them stick you in the first seat on the right.  Less leg room, and I jarred my leg each time I climbed into the seat.  Great view of the Butterfly Farm, very hot inside the farm.  Much welcome punch in the gift shop.   Natural bridge site was disappointing.  But surprised how many people walked over the top of the remaining natural bridge seeing all the debris of the larger collapsed bridge!  Visited a very well preserved, and the rock formation.    Only one bathroom (Butterfly Farm) on entire tour, because the bathroom at the rock formation was locked.  Butterfly Farm had a ramp (though rather steep with NO handrail) for disabled.

Barbados - Orchid World and Sunmore House - Best tour buses in over 20 cruises!  Foster line buses.  Lots of leg room.  Wonderful tour of Orchard world.  Nicely landscaped garden, but most orchids were out of season.  One way trail, once you start you can’t stop.  Still a lot to see.  Sunmore house had a staircase in the front, but an accessible ramp in the back upon request.  The rum punch and cod fish cake party turned into a pleasant surprise.  They showed us how to make two types of rum punch.  Mostly as a vehicle to purchase their special rum.  We were told that many ingredients in the rum punches only available in Barbados.  The cod fish cakes ended up being deep fried appetizers, which I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they were.  Our tour guide while nice and friendly, she seemed a bit reserved while she mixed the rum punch and served us.  Then on the bus headed back to port, she confirmed my suspicion, she didn’t drink.  Definitely the oldest guide  in Barbados not an ounce of fat on her, but very strong based on her grip as she helped me off the bus.

We spoke to Guest Relations as well as medical, but no one seemed to care, because in an hour or so, we’d be gone.I mentioned the vomiting on our online evaluation at the end of the cruise, but no one followed up!
