JaneAustenCruiser Posted July 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I was wondering if anyone has recently done any of the Antigua tours from either of the cruise ports lately. The last report in the forums I can find looks to be from 2018. A lot can change on the ground, politically, in a country in that amount of time. I'd really like to do the self-guided Antigua tour that Celebrity offers. State Department doesn't list Antiqua's department (county) as a higher risk than Guatemala itself right now (Level 2- Exercise Extra Caution). I'd be happy to hear anyone's stories of their recent visits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidsandi Posted August 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I too would like to get some recent information on Antigua. I will be there in October and would love to hear what others have done while visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL currently has no excursions listed for this port. We too are interested in Antigua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have signed up for Colonial Antigua, Jade Museum & Factory tour. I hope to have some free time in Antigua as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustca Posted August 17, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We are on NCL Joy sailing 11/8/19. They have finally just listed tours for this area. We decided to do one of the ship's tours due to the long drive to Antigua and road delays and problems that are often reported. I think we will do the Casa Santo Domingo tour.

NCL added the excursions for our cruise also. We booked the Guatemalan Rum, Aged In The Clouds and Sightseeing excursion. I agree definitely suggest the NCL Excursions at this port.

Just wondering if you did the Guatemalan Rum excursion, and what you thought of it? We are cruising Holland America in April, and thought it sounded interesting. Would you recommend it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes did the excursion. We really enjoyed it. We did have difficulty getting there as there was road construction and we sat in traffic not moving for over 30 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
