Do you have a favorite, one you might consider visiting again?

Barbados wins hands down. It was particularly magical because we got there early in the morning and had the whole place to ourselves. It’s probably the only place we visited where we’d consider any length of stay on another visit.

By the way, I think you were probably relegated to the shade rather than castigated :~)

Do you have a favorite, one you might consider visiting again? Your cruise reminds me of a Carnival Cruise we took many years ago - lots of slim young people who like to drink and dance and party into the wee hours. Any oldsters on the ship?
