Shouldn't it be sole wrapped shrimp than shrimp wrapped sole?!

Great report, thank you :tu:

Thanks for the very informative report, pleased to see that PDB has been reinstated. That light meal was very strange, not seen anything like that before and the main meals looked much nicer than other recent reports .What was the wine like? We are off to St Lucia in 7 weeks and have just started to look at all the requirements, it's reassuring that you had a fairly smooth process. We are taking friends with us and it will be their first experience of BA Club and I do not want them to be disappointed.

Glad I've helped [a bit]! Say 'hello' to UVF for us - it's been a while since we last went there.

No guarantee things will be same to UVF, of course, but apart from that bizarre "light meal" the food was certainly better than we've encountered in recent years to the Caribbean. Long may that continue.

Wine list attached for your perusal! Unusually, the Champagne and the Whites were properly chilled in both directions. The OH enjoyed the Rose Champagne [until it ran out, inevitably!]. For me, the Raparua Sauvignon Blanc was most drinkable. We never sampled the Reds.

Thanks for that. I last flew to UVF in November 2019 when a First cabin was still available, both the champagne and claret ran out even though there were empty seats, they offered me wine from Club! I also didn't get my choice of starter, I was sat in 1E!

Cheers, stu1865 … we enjoyed doing it too! And only 30-odd days to go before the next one. This is starting to feel relatively normal!

Really enjoyed this, a good read and an insight into somewhere I've never been to.

Oh, and you can fly direct from ZRH! If you want to do ‘nothing’ it’s a great place to go.
*Other resorts also exist!
