Barbados & Grenada Team for World Cup Visitors

Officials from Barbados and Grenada have joined together to prepare for accommodating the large number of visitors for the 2007 International Cricket Council's Cricket World Cup (CWC). 

Arrangements are being made for persons to stay in Barbados and travel to Grenada to attend matches during the second round Super Eight phase of the tournament.

Barbados and Grenada will be hosting matches on alternate days from April 10 to 21.

Tourism authorities, and CWC organizers of both countries are working together to increase the number of home lodgings on Grenada, investigating cruise ship options, along with proposed lodging in Barbados.

The massive destruction caused by Hurricane Ivan back in September, 2004 left the island of Grenada with 80% of the buildings either damaged or destroyed.

While several resorts, including Grenada Spice Island Beach Resort, have re-opened, the island is reporting just under 1,000 rooms available for World Cup accommodations.

[Deepa]

What are the travel options to go to Grenada from Barbados on 11th after the match ? The flight options seem to be sold out now.

Hi

How does one get to Barbados from Grenada and back other than flying? How long does it take by a boat or ship? How much does it cost? How early should one make reservations?

[Nalini]

I plan to stay in Barbados but would like to travel back and forth to Grenada to watch the Super 8 games on alternate dates in Barbados and Grenada. Are there overnight ships that I can take or do I have to look for flights between the two islands?

[Linda Thompkins]

The Royal Zante stated they would provide ship transportation, but I have never received a response from them. I do not know of any other ships providing transportation, so you would have to get airline reservations.

Linda:

What is the best way to get around the island? I will be there for a week and watching matches on 3 of those 7 days. Should I rent a car? What's a reliable & reasonably priced car rental agency? I had read somewhere that the traffic jams can be pretty bad on the island.

[Harish]

Hi Linda, Can you please give me the options for travel froM barbados to Grenada? We're staying in Barbados and have game tickets to 2 games (on the 16th and 18th of April) in Grenada.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for visiting. Other than the regional airlines (which are booked) there is no other transportation via Barbados and Grenada. We've had numerous requests for transportation between the two islands. I wish I could help!!
