The Caribbean Season is a famous cruise time. It starts in November and ends at the end of March and many ships will either stay there or sail in and out. It is often a new cruisers first cruise and hence a time they will be over whelmed and need help not to make mistakes. Some islands are beach only, some islands have great ports, some have fantastic unmissable excursions. When to beach and when not to beach, how to get to a beach cheaply, we have many tips here. As this represents the Caribbean Season we try and cover all the ports a ship may pass to and from and in the Caribbean Sea, and also show you come favourite and typical ROTES.

    • IN BRIEF: Ex British island, that won’t take pounds but will take US dollars. Bridgetown has a little to offer, but you will no doubt want to explore, north, south, or east are the options. The Bridgetown film shows you the town and bus garages. The other option – beaches! The ones in Bridgetown are great, free and public, but you will be sold a few things and hasssled a little. See the films and chat.
    • CURRENCY: Barbadian Dollar.

Doris Visits does not collect data but our advertising partners may do. You are welcome to stop adverts, refuse cookies, and just enjoy the cruise with us. We are not on all social medias, but feel free to share.

Those we are on, we have joined enough cruise relevant affiliates to gain our ability to post effectively. Please share our films.

DorisVisits.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by showing Amazon products.  We joined to publish and sell our cruise novels. Please see the first in the series of cruise thrillers. Cruise Ship Heist. Doris Visits also participates in other affiliate programs, normally cruise or book related, and we sometimes get a commission through purchases made using our the links we use you may assume links to third parties have these connections. You do not pay extra for ANY affiliate link you click, but that affiliate if they do pay us some money, is helping to pay for our server, widgets, apps and other tools we use to make this site work. To date we have never been a profit making site and the income from books supplements the cruise activity, help and advice we give. If in doubt, assume there may be a marketing link when you go through to a third party site. If you click links we use on other sites, used to direct you to cruise help, sites like Facebook, you should know that they replace our link with their own and that becomes the dominant link meaning they get paid the commission. The only site we can control is DorisVisits.com
