Buford T Justiice Posted January 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi All, We are a group of six (5 adults / 1 child) looking for recommendations for a nice beach day in Antigua and are considering either NCL's Beach Escape or a resort for the day (beach Limerz? or other suggestions?). We were contemplating NCL's excursion but read somewhere that it goes to Runaway Beach? Also heard Runaway beach has an odor? is dirty? Despite the discount on the NCL excursion (total cost with transfers, and lunch equals $240 for the six of us), I have my reservations about the NCL excursion... We're looking for a nice beach, loungers, umbrellas, shade, and passive things to do: walk, look for shells, etc. Food / drink is not really important. Any recommendations would be very helpful. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limerz was sold out when I emailed them. We ended up going with NCL's Excursion to the Mystic Beach bar / restaurant and had an enjoyable day. Shade was very important to us with my 90 yo mom with us. It's very close to the port and I thought "wow we could have done this on our own". But we had a reserved portion of the beach under permanent palapas; the regular day trippers were squeezed together a little ways down the beach under tiny beach umbrellas. Lunch was a simple salad-chicken bone in-pasta combo. They provided the complementary beverage to us at our palapas. Bathrooms were meh though. Hope this helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
