Get there as early as possible 4+ hours if you have not booked your seats and wish to sit together otherwise 3 hours is fine. There will be dedicated P&O check ins including one for Premium passengers. You will be questions and have to sign to say you have not had or got a gastrointestinal sickness.
In Barbados there will be buses waiting at the aircraft steps to whisk you off to your ship.

Nobody does Barbados as good as P&O. In addition to the comments Ray makes you do not have to collect your checked-in luggage at Barbados ... after you have checked it onto the flight the next time you will see it will be when it is sitting outside your cabin (however do remember to take your hand luggage). The trip from Barbados airport to the cruise terminal is about 45 minutes.

Once you arrive at the cruise terminal you will be checked onto the cruise and be on the ship very quickly ... it all depends on how quickly the buses arrive at the terminal .. if they flow in one after the other it takes longer to get checked in (maybe up to 30 minutes) but if there is a gap between their arrival it may only take about 5 minutes to be checked in and on the ship.

Once you are checked onto the ship you are usually free to come back off and go into town (If time permits and you have the energy).

Except Thomson as it is the same operation using 'thomson' planes. The one irritating thing is you can't use the day before check in at Gatwick for Caribbean cruises.
