cruisencrazy Posted August 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Family of 4 with grown children want a beach day. We have been to several beaches there before but we are concerned about taxi/bus operations on Christmas Day. Would appreciate suggestions.

Hi Jenny! - If you have already been up to admire the views at Shirley Heights, and to the dockyard below, treat your gang to either the Excellence Circle Antigua boat trip or the Lobster Lunch Mystic catamaran trip. Same company operates both. I have done both, and both are great fun and nicely done. I will be there in March, and will probably end up flipping a coin to decide between the two.

Hi Laurie, Long time no speak :D. Hope you are well? This is our first time to Antigua so we're a little unsure what to do on Christmas Day? If Shirley Heights and the dockyard is a must, we'll take that option. Can you recommend any private tour operators to use? We're also visiting Dominica, St Thomas, St Kitts and Barbados. Any pointers for any must sees would be great ;). Btw, you are correct, it is the full gang sailing again ;p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted August 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2017 We were in Antigua once on Christmas Day. Took an excursion offered by the cruise line -- sailing catamaran. When having a port stop on Christmas or New Years Day in any Caribbean port of call, we always booked through the cruise line. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmax Posted October 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Celebrity Eclipse. Looks like there will be a few ships in port on Christmas Day then. Actually there will be 5 ships in port Dec.25/17. Regal, Crown & Caribbean Princess, Celebrity Eclipse and MSC Fantasia. It will be VERY crowded!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riviera16 Posted October 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Crown Princess....which one are you on? Hi! Hubby and I are also on the Crown headed to the Caribbean and will be at Antigua on Christmas! Have you find anything helpful? I am also wondering if anyone knows what kind of shape the islands and their people are in following the hurricanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisebird Posted October 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Party of 5 adults will be on the Crown as well. I think I might look at the Lobster Lunch on the catamaran. Sounds like fun. We too are looking to relax. Cruisencrazy....while we've moved to Florida about 4 years ago, we are from West Chester....small world!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
