Cruisin'Jenny2 Posted January 21, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2006 We will be stopping in Antigua for the day in March on the NCL Jewel. Has anyone taken shore excursions they can recommend - or that they hated? I've never been to Antigua, I don't have a clue what to do...HELP! I do know that I'm NOT interested in getting on a big bus and waiting...and waiting...and waiting on other people. Does anyone know if the Jewel will dock or tender in Antigua? Any help or suggestions are hugely appreciated! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniesband Posted January 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2006 We've never done an NCL cruise, but have been to Antigua multiple times on RCCL. I imagine that the ship tours offered are similar; I'd recommend checking out Eli Fuller's two tours, the Eco-Tour and the Xtreme Circumnav. We've done both (the Eco-Tour 3 times, and just a couple weeks ago the Xtreme Circumnav for the first time) and enjoyed both. Eli's website is http://www.adventureantigua.com. We've also never seen anyone tendering in Antigua. There's adequate room at the dock, and we've been in port with 2 NCL ships at once upon occasion.

potatofarmer Posted January 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi I would Highly recommend the Antigua Seafari circumnav sea-fari or they also have a new one which I will be trying next month but I cannot give you input as I have not done it yet "power snorkel sea-fari" . they also do a power boat with NCL. These guys are excellent, this will be my second time and they have all the necessary insurance and standards becasue the operate with the ships as well. cool cruising potatofarmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Jenny2 Posted January 26, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Please advise after you go next month...I'd like to hear about it - We don't go until mid-March. Thanks! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted January 28, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2006 We too are going in March and 1st time in Antigua. I was looking at all the beach excursions on the Jewel and cant decide on one or should I look to book one that someone else recommends. I see alot of good things about Pineapple Beach.

Cruisin'Jenny2 Posted January 28, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I went ahead and booked TWO excursions for Antigua. Early AM - Jeep Tour and beach-time, Afternoon - Powerboat Snorkel Sea-fari. We will have a very busy day, but I figured I should go ahead and make plans...if something else comes along I can always cancel. I do want to see and do as much as possible...don't you think this will work? :) Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
