DAY 15 ARRIVAL AND SUMMARY
After a 1 1/2 hour delay, the flight took off in Barbados! The return flight was unproblematic and our plane made up some time, so we arrived in Frankfurt at 8.40 am!
The suitcases among the first 10 and a usual great and fast transfer through www.parkobello.de to Neu-Isenburg and we were back home with many great memories!
DESTINATION:
The Caribbean is definitely worth a (or several) trips, although it is allegedly more stable in terms of weather 1-3 weeks later. Each island is different and worth seeing! Temperatures 26-29 degrees Celsius in the shade, water 26-27 degrees Celsius, what more could you ask for!
SHIP:
The AIDAPERLA (identical to the Prima) is much larger compared to the older series (Mar, Bella,..)! We prefer the smaller series, especially for warm destinations, as they offer more outdoor spaces and the evening events are much more beautiful outdoors, like in the beach club!
Almost exclusively very friendly and helpful staff!
AIDA or MEINSCHIFF
For some, a matter of faith, we are flexible!
Balcony cabins nice here and there
Food and drinks: a definite plus for MeinSchiff due to the all-inclusive concept and the great selection of waiter restaurants, drink selection, ice bar or Gosch-Fish! AIDA now generates more revenue because the previous offers during the day, such as officer shakers, 2 for 1 at departure, etc., have been eliminated!
Evening events: now similar, the huge party advantage of AIDA is no longer
Pool and sauna: definitely MeinSchiff! 25 meter pool and free sauna with great outdoor areas speak clearly for MeinSchiff!
Excursions: no comparison possible, we prefer to plan individually!
Organization: balanced
Flight with Condor: there are definitely better and more comfortable airlines on long-haul flights, but what can you do, you just have to endure!
Overall, for us it's a matter of route and ultimately price, so keep an eye out when booking!
