As Doc Cox's answer. Its very quick & easy. The transfer buses line up by your aircraft, you don't even go near the airport terminal. ...............minor downside is you don't leave thebus from airport to quayside. ......... keep a change of clothes/swimgear in your hand-luggage to keep you going while your luggage catches up.......

The planes are chartered by by Princess and all passengers will be on the same ship as you. When you check your luggae in at the airport it is bonded and put in cages and put on the plane. Then when you arrive in Barbados you go down the stairs and onto coaches that then take you to the check-in in barbados where immigration is done. Around 2-3 hours after boarding (possibly longer), you will find your cases either outside your cabin or inside. On the return journey,you put your cases out the night before you disembark and the same procedure happens and the next time you see your cases is on the Carousel at the Airport.
