Taiters91 Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello! Antigua is our 6th port on our first ever cruise in March! We have decided to DIY as we keep changing our minds, so we will play it by ear as to what we fancy doing and may book excursions on the ship! Any recommendations or No go's? We are 24, newly married, and this is our Honeymoon. Our main aim of the holiday is to relax and enjoy some beautiful sites. Our main interests would probably be beach resorts with restaurants, shops, maybe water activities or any other recommendations to make the most of the island! We are also visiting; Aruba Grenada Barbados St Lucia Bonaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobstad Posted November 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Congrats on your wedding! Go to the Ports boards and see what people are talking about to get an idea of what you can do. I've been to all those ports but Bonaire. I can't remember where I went for the most part, but they were all beach destinations. In Aruba, I went to Eagle beach via local bus.

runner15km Posted November 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nelson's Dockyard for a little history and then Valley Church Beach for surf, sand and their killer rum punch. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMGNJ04 Posted November 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If you are interested in really seeing Antigua, we highly recommend taking a tour with Christopher John. His email is chrisolejohn@live.com He took us around the whole island. We stopped at Nelsons Dockyard, Shirley Heights, Valley Church Beach, Devils Bridge, etc. He is a smaller operator and I think he only takes no more than 6 people.

OCruisers Posted November 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Antigua has wonderful beaches -- sugar white. Don't miss going to one of them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraodonnell86 Posted November 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This past January, we took a taxi with about 6 other people to Valley Church Beach and it was stunning!! I think we are going back in January when we cruise again. Taxi was only about $6 round trip and we told the driver when we wanted him to pick us back up. Cool little restaurant on the beach. It's a long beach and really fun to walk up and down. Water is gorgeous! Enjoy! Hello!Antigua is our 6th port on our first ever cruise in March!

New2cruise1483 Posted December 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Another vote here for Valley Church! My mother, sister and I went there back in September and it was gorgeous! We were the only ship n port that day, and it wasn't crowded at all. The beach itself is beautiful, not to mention the beautiful turquoise color of the water there. They have a restaurant/ bar there called the nest, as well as vendors renting out jet skis and floats. Very nice, relaxing day there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NBliving Posted March 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Nelson's Dockyard for a little history and then Valley Church Beach for surf, sand and their killer rum punch. :) This is exactly what DH and I want to do in a few weeks. Can you take a bus or taxi to each? Are they close enough that we won't be riding around for too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
