My wife and I sailed on the Sun Princes and visited Antigua's capital city on a Sunday in mid-February 2004. All and all I would say the visit was good and that we had a great time. This being our first cruise and our first port of call on the cruise we were quite uncertain about what we should expect. We found that because it was a Sunday, many of the shops were closed and quickly decided that we would seek out a taxi driver and a tour of the island. Finding a driver was not hard and we found a few that even showed us a detailed map and the places we would visit. The tour was at a fair price though it was just the two of us. We discovered later in our cruise that it is much more cost effective to do these island tours with other cruise mates thus reducing the cost and increasing the conversation and fun. Our driver was friendly and showed us a great deal in the 3 hours that he drove us around. We visited Devils ridge, looked at several beaches, Nelson's Dock Yard, and a few other destinations. He never rushed us to leave any of the destinations and it was worth the money. We then went to a beach that was very near the ship and had a great time. The chairs were $5 each and they had several cabanas so shade was not hard to come buy. The beach was right next to one of the several resorts located on the island but I can’t remember which one now. There are a great number of taxi drivers on Antigua and they are very eager to take you where you want to go. If I so much as lifted an arm while at the beach there was a driver asking me if I wanted a ride back to the ship. It actually got a bit bothersome at times. There were also a few vendors on the beach selling various items. They really didn’t bother us too much. I think Antigua was well worth the visit but it didn’t end up at the top of my favorites list of destinations we visited on our cruise. It’s certainly a Beautiful place though and I highly encourage taking the time to see what the island has to offer.I
