St. James

The Barbados port can handle the largest cruise ships, including Panama-class ships. These are the largest cruise ships available.  The ship is named for the fact that it can hardly pass through the Panama Canal.  

Cruise to Barbados-Choosing your cabin

Relax

You choose between "run of the ship" or a "perfect" cabin.  "Run of the ship" cabins are a bit like flying stand-by.  You're not assigned a room until the week of departure, but this option is usually less expensive.

"Perfect" cabins are allocated well in advance and you are allocated the exact type of room you request.
