do you know if there are any water view fifth sleeper rooms in Barbados I could request?
Yes there are.

Staying at CBR in a couple weeks. Stayed there before once and had a room, by chance, that was near the resort entrance and thus closer to where the WDW buses entered. But I cannot remember where that was. It seems that the WDW buses went around CBR, but now there is a separate internal bus. Is that right? And is it new since 2012?
Bottom line is I would like to try and get a room to minimize wasted time on buses around CBR. If it can be near where the WDW buses pick up and drop off we can just walk to that spot.
Advice?

Staying here early March as only discounted room available on short notice. After reading this thread ( never stayed here before) I am getting nervous, lol.
I don’t want cheer squads,
Tons of blocked pathways,
Or no bus cause it’s overfilled.
Prob why a standard room popped up.
Eek.. may need to re think this.
My only request was, near food ..thinking
It’d be closer to main area.
Hmmmm

The circular driveway of your building.

Before the construction of the Riviera Resort, park buses entered CBR from one of two entrances. The Main entrance and the side entrance. If a bus entered the Main Entrance, Martinique was the 1st stop. If the bus entered the side entrance, then Jamaica was the first stop.
Now, the original main entrance has been removed and the old side entrance serves as the main entrance. Except during very slow parts of the day they send 2 buses for each park. One will pick up Jamaica -> Barbados then head straight to the park. The other bus will pick up Martinique -> Old Port Royale -> Barbados -> Trinidad then head to the park.

That is what I am trying to understand with the "new" CBR.Hmm... not to be negative, but having a preferred room (other than Trinidad) means more time/crowds on the buses, not less?
Thanks!
So if it was the morning and I wanted to catch the bus at the final bus stop before it headed direct to a park (and not have to joy ride around CBR picking up other guests), it sounds like being in Barbados or Trinidad would be closest to that final bus stop?
Yes. I was in Barbados. But even on the way back from the parks when stopping at Martinique and OPR first it only added a few minutes, those stops aren't all that far apart (or they didn't feel like it). Our bus skipped Trinidad in the morning 3 times due to capacity, but maybe those mornings they sent them their own bus. Trinidad is Pirate rooms so you would need to book that specifically if you wanted it. Martinique and Barbados are Preferred.
[Eta] For me personally if I had my pick of any area it would be Martinique, they are first pick up so no worries on the bus crowd. Yes you then have 3 more stops but it's not really that bad.
If you like, but it also means that you get a seat on the bus and don't have to stand. Coming back from the parks, you're the first (Martinique) or third (Barbados) off.Hmm... not to be negative, but having a preferred room (other than Trinidad) means more time/crowds on the buses, not less?
