HRHMadonna Posted September 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Several in our cruising party have limited mobility and use canes & walkers. We'd like to know if there is much to see & do in the immediate area where the cruise ships dock. Shopping? Craft markets, sights to see, etc.? I'll apprecaite any insights and suggestions you might have. Thanks! Madonna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Kewlguy Posted September 10, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Not a whole lot near the port area. Probably better off booking an excursion or staying on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allentownahoy Posted September 12, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I use a rolling walker and. Poked a tour with Lawrence of Antigua that was wonderful. He will be able to design a tour to meet their needs. You can google him to find his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno Posted September 12, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I agree about considering a tour with Lawrence (lawrenceofantigua). If you let him know in advance, he will customize a tour for you. When we took our tour with Lawrence, I was having some knee problems and he was very solicitous and thoughtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve ch Posted September 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Once you get away from the shops in the immediate vicinity of the pier, the sidewalks in St Johns can be uneven with very high kerbs, so difficult for people with walking problems.

HRHMadonna Posted September 14, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Many thanks to all of you for you helpful insights and information. I think we'll look into a 3-4 hour tour for these ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny AZ Girl Posted September 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2011 We only had a very short time waiting near the ship before we went on an all day tour with Eli's Eco Tours (boat tour), but I did manage to get in some shopping right near the pier. I remember the shops there as being very nice, but there were not many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
