Think OP meant why would one book a cruise out of Barbados not why is Royal embarking from there.  And damned if I know.

because you can have a island vacation on the front end or back end of the cruise. I do think they are also going to more southern ports that royal does not go to often.

mai tai with Pyrat rum by the pool for this guy

Pyrat rum is good straight up ask the bartenders if they are from the Caribbean they will hook you up with some great rums. I usally drink Pyrat rum but they had me into a ton of good sipping rums

we had a trip one where where the 4th to last people to get back on the ship but thats only because we passed them on the pier. We got stuck 60 min away from the ship with no taxis arround and 45 min to get back we finally found one and a big pile of cash convinced the driver to break all sorts of traffic laws. 

get on the boat. enjoy the flow

sometime when they are changing over to the new promotion you will see full price items. the switch seems to happens starting tuesday and finishing wednesday

how do they id kids?

You would like your bags to arrive in a timely fashion

one time I thought my wife had tipped the porter so I did not tip them. 2 of the 3 bags had the bag tag removed. Just saying

Grand Cayman is known for three things:

Seven Mile Beach

stingray city

A tourist trap called “hell” so you can say you went there. 

grand caymen is my least favorite island to visit

Yep, and very little outside interference.  It bothers me when people who aren't doing any serious exercising just get on the track to sightsee.  People, you can sightsee from many other decks.  In fact, you'll get a better view from higher decks.  

You don't want to get started on those that move the deck chairs around and put them in the middle of the walkway without any sense of common decency and situational awareness.  AMAZING!

like the Oassis class ships the jogging track is nice and not crowded, plus I love the chairs on the tail end . For the other ships I would run after dark and it was not to bad (I am not a morning person)

I wouldn't bother. Spend the extra cash on an excursion or something. It's extra room, but if you're going solo, you really don't need it. 

like drinks
