Ronnie,
I just wanted to write and thank you for the absolutely wonderful tour that we took with you on 4/24/2001 (we were part of a group from the Dawn Princess). Our cruise took us down the outer Caribbean through the canal and up the Mexican Riviera. We stopped in every port, but no other tour compared to yours. The combination of story telling with pictures, the photographic opportunities and the beauty of your island made this our favorite stop. We have also turned in a glowing review to Princess.
If you do set-up a web site, please let me know. My wife and I would like to plan another trip to the Caribbean in about 2 years - staying on Barbados for a part of the trip. You mentioned during our trip that you were considering offering a Photographic class. Please let us know if you follow-up on this, as such an opportunity would help us focus our travel plans.
Again - thank you very much for such a wonderful introduction to Barbados.

Princess Management:
I would like to let you know that My wife and I had the best shore experience ever. We visited Barbados with Mr. Ronnie Carrington. The trip was designated as a photographic tour "bring your camera". Well, if you had no camera and were visually handicapped, the tour would still have been a joy! Ronnie's narrative and grasp of local culture, geology, geography and customs was astounding. He took us to visit some of the most interesting places possible.
Princess thank you for finding and keeping Ronnie. We will soon make a trip back to Barbados for a longer stay.
On a recommendation by us, our friends, Mr. and Mrs. James Crandall will be touring with Ronnie in February.
We will certainly cruise with Princess in the future, enjoying the ship, it's staff and hoping to find another Ronnie.

Subject: March 5 Photo Tour
I enjoyed the photo adventure tour of Barbados with your leadership on March 5. I boarded from the Sun Princess and appreciated your personal touch to the trip. From the handout to the information provided on the tour -everything was first class. I told the Princess Cruise Tour desk upon my return about how well done and professional this particular tour was. Is there another place I may be able to write so that you will be encouraged to continue such an excellent experience. Other tours that I have taken have not been handled nearly as well. You gave us an outline - kept to the schedule and shared the experience with us instead of just being there.
Thanks again. Pictures are wonderful - history amazing. I had read Mitchner's book "Caribbean" and you made it come alive again with the information you provided while we traveled.
Enjoy your island. I certainly did.
