Is it too early

#1

Post by Dark Knight »

As some of you may know, the gorgeous Lady Dark and I , are off to the Carribean for 2 weeks in Jan 2014
we have booked an AI cruise around the islands , as it is not a destination we have been to before

My question is...........Is it too early to start singing "Woah we're going to Barbados" every chance I get and ending my posts with "btw did I tell you were are doing the Carribean next cruise"

There is nowhere quite like the Caribbean ... we are taking a land based holiday that direction next year.
Which islands are you doing?

Great Ports of call there. Never been to St Barths so looking forward to hearing about that or. We don't rate St Vincent's so interested to know what you decide to do there and your thoughts. Which ship are you on?

Sue
we are on the Thomson dream this time, we were due to cruise to Venice and the Adriatic in June but as we are now moving we had to change it and the itinerary plus the AI seemed a good move
the reviews seem good on the Dream and they have a very loyal fan base
so we will see what's what in Jan :thumbup:

I'd like to know what you think of Curacao. I was expecting a pretty unspoilt island. I found it industrial and very polluted unfortunately. Anyhow our next cruise is also to the Caribbean so hey ' We're going to Barbados' :thumbup:
