On reflection I wish we had upgraded our seats on the flight. Eight hours is a long time to sit in cramped economy conditions. Admittedly there were tv's but we had seen all the films on offer. We were given two meals, one a cooked chicken meal and the second a picnic style box. Neither meal was particularly alluring. There were free alcoholic and soft drinks available and I noted how many people took full advantage of this.
The plane was met on the tarmac by coaches that took us straight to the port which was great as it meant no queueing or waiting for luggage. Our luggage followed on 2-3 hours later.
On the drive to the port we were eagerly looking out at our first sight of Barbados, which I will admit was dissapointing. I was expecting something akin to a tropical island and here I was looking at a lot of shanty's. There seemed to be a lot of rubbish lying around and old cars left that had rusted and had weeds growing through them.
Clean and airy cabin. We had booked a partially obscured view but it didnt impede our view totally. We had a quiet location not too far from the lifts. Apart from the people too lazy to close there cabin doors and let them slam it was a great cabin in a great location.
