Car Hire Barbados Cruise Terminal - Mini guide to Barbados Cruise Terminal

The main Barbados cruise terminal is located in Bridgetown. It was originally opened in 1994, and is the center of most tourist-related services on the island of Barbados. Mainly used by cruise passengers to embark and disembark from their oceangoing resorts, it provides more than 60,000 square feet of usable space.

Retail space is one of the most important factors of the Barbados cruise terminal. The retail focus of the area is obvious, with more than one-third of the total space in the terminal devoted solely to duty-free stores. The rest of the space in the terminal is devoted primarily to dining and beverage space, as well areas providing kiosks which showcase the local artistic offerings.

The facility also has offices for the Customs department, as well as the Immigration authority of Barbados. Their newer facilities allow them to process passengers much more quickly, meaning more time ashore for each passenger that comes ashore.

The facility also houses the local quarantine post. Any plants or animals brought into the country must be kept in quarantine for a specified amount of time, allowing them to be checked for foreign disease. The local post office is also available in the facility, meaning that passengers can mail postcards and other items home with minimal hassle.

There are other amenities available at the facility, as well. While there are shuttle buses available to passengers to take them further inland, the fact remains that many passengers wish a more adventurous experience. Because of this, there are extensive car hire services available within a few minutes walk from the facility, meaning that passengers can take day-trips into the surrounding countryside, driving themselves so they can operate at their own pace.
