Additional details
It came & went so quickly, thankfully we have many pleasant memories and pictures to tide us over until our next adventure. Once again, Star Clipper's treated us to an excellent voyage......this time on the Royal Clipper as we sailed through the Grenadine's.
We visited Union Island, Grenada, Tobago Cays, St. Vincent, Bequai, Martinique & St. Lucia after starting our journey in Barbados between Nov. 14 & 21st.
We left Austin, Texas on Friday the 13th at 9AM on American Airlines and arrived in Barbados at 11PM after connections in Dallas & Miami. While the flight was long, everything went without a hitch. We were expecting the worse when we arrived in Barbados and hoped we would be at the Hilton by 1AM. To our delight, we cleared customs, caught a cab & were in our room by 11:45. One thing that has stuck with us was how nice and helpful everyone was: the Airport personnel, Customs Officers, Taxi driver and the Hilton staff. It bode well for an excellent vacation.
Cabin Review
We had a Deluxe Suite. These are the only cabins that are on the Main Deck and they each have a verandah. One of the perks of this category is Room Service in the cabin. The cabin had much more storage than the cat. 2 cabin we had on a previous cruise. It was also equipped with a bathroom you could actually walk around in and included a whirlpool tub along with a shower. We were in #314 which opened directly to the deck instead of a hallway like the other Suites.All the suites are also named by Countries...ours was France. Besides Room Service, we were also delivered a sweet tray each afternoon that included cookies & chocolate covered strawberries.
