If you want a lovely sandy beach with warm waters we would strongly recommend Paynes Beach, a short taxi ride from the Port Terminal.  Previously a group of us have taken a private taxi for a tour of the island which was most enjoyable.

Barbados

We took a snorkeling trip, although we have seen more fish in other places the trip was very enjoyable, a good boat ride with two different snorkeling sites, to be recommended.

Tortola

Wonderful bit of history with amazing views over the countryside, sea and neighbouring islands.

Beautiful gardens, just long enough to stroll around and observe the batik clothing.

Good cabin midships on A deck spoilt with smoking allowed on the balconies.

Unfortunately there were two aspects of this cruise which really spoilt our holiday; the first was the attitude of the Shore Excursions and shop staff on board ship, we found they lacked any social skills and had total apathy when you expressed any interest in any port of call or any shop items.Indeed, the smoking issue was a real down side for us, we will seriously have to consider whether we would cruise with P & O again if they continue to give preference to smokers over non smokers.
