travel the caribbean barbados ronnie carrington's photo-adventure tour
We took Ronnie Carrington's Photo-Adventure Tour as a four-hour cross-island excursion offered on our ship, the Crown Princess.
Besides photo tips, Carrington gave an in-depth talk on Barbados, its culture and its history.
It was a great pleasure to discover such an intelligent and knowledgeable guide.
His insights on Barbados, and the sites he took us to, made it a highlight of our cruise.
Princess has awarded him for "service excellence" for twelve consecutive tour sessions.
I highly recommend the tour.
