PORT ROYAL

Just noted….. Best to bring one’s own French Press and cruise supply of good coffee.

Taxi to Red Hook say 30 minutes Ferry crossing time - 20 minutes (just miss 1 wait 30 minutes) = max of 50 minutes Ride fro Cruz Bay to Beaches - say 15 minutes (disembarking and taxi wait say 5 minutes) Ride back to ship - 40 minutes (heavy traffic) Best to allow a comfortable 2 hours there and 2.5 hours back Book tickets online as the ticket office queue may be long, plus ship you aim for may sell out Link https://stjohnticketing.com/schedules/

Alternative TTE TTE Protocol is to just rock up, big smile, approach desk, flash cash, don’t tell them one is from Carnival (lie), take lift, press down, set up a bar tab, enjoy.

Just take a taxi minivan. Plenty available from port, Orient and Maho. Consider COCO on Orient. Best to book in advance to ensure a party set-up for beds. https://www.cocobeach.restaurant

Yes - Book direct.. Use this contact address for availability, day prices (rooms available), as it is monitored by hotel management. Or call.. reservation@stkittsmarriott.com

No connection….. just a well informed visitor to the island giving recommendations to assist those who wish to spend their day enjoying the genteel ambience of a quality establishment, same being well away from S.H.T. One has previously recommended Cecelia’s, Sheer Rocks (who own Catherine’s) and Jackie O’s before JO closed. Have also given assistance on other islands in the Caribbean

Apologies for the interruption… Best “Lodge” can be found at https://www.limewoodhotel.co.uk/stay

As one is a public transport enthusiast and/or aficionado, seeking a great beach stay. Know one will be pleased to note Catherine’s Cafe, (far better than VC), can be reached by a local bus. Book one’s day/lunch in advance. https://catherines-cafe.com

Best beach for one’s pocket can be found from the selection on Resort Pass (Day Pass)

Think there are already cruise lines known to attract and cater for such people. However, they do feel impelled to infect Cunard.

Rather running around trying all and sundry websites, think better to send an enquiry for all one’s requirements, also ask suggestions from….. https://www.visitantiguabarbuda.com/contact-us/ They should have all the answers and will be happy to engage and exchange. Good luck

A guesstimate would be about US$ 35 each way plus tip.

S = Ship’s Crew of the noisy, unruly and let’s spoil the venue type ( No detailed explanation needed ) H = Herds T = Towels

There has always been wheelchair assistance in place at all ports. Attend the gangway and the ship’s crew will be kind and supportive.

The impact will be great, with the masses heading for their usual haunts. Take a tour, not a ship one, and see the island properly. If wishing a beach, then avoid all the usual S.H.T. beach destinations (will be rammed) and take a day pass at the Marriott or head to Nevis with https://bluewatersafaris.com/tour/nevis-beach-getaway/., then walk a short way down the beach to Sunshine’s to be brave with a few Killer Bees.

No not on the “left”. Americans drive on the right side of the road while in Barbados, as in Great Britain, one drives on the correct side. 😉

Sorry, should have said a cab to Sweetfield. It’s a short ride from port and to airport. Sweetfield can hold all luggage secure for one’s party whilst there, so all can relax. Also, they will call a known and reliable cab when ready to go to the airport.

Take Breakfast/Brunch at Sweetfield Manor-Leave about 12.30 and check in to the pre booked Airport Lounge. The general Airport waiting areas are noisy, busy, grubby, limited comfortable seating, expensive food/drinks…. Can go on… While the lounge is…. Contact Sweetfield https://sweetfieldmanor.com for booking.

Knowing BB, if they can, they will…. Good luck

If not reply received then consider https://www.clubmed.co.uk/r/les-boucaniers/y Contact direct for space availability and current pricing for one’s date.

There is also S.H.T.

Let one assist…… T'erds is a word constructed by my Bajan friends, being a combination of two words Towels and Herds. The T from Towels and 'erds from Herds to describe some tourists. TOWELS: Arrive by the cheapest means; deliberately take the most annoying spot on the beach to spoil a view of paying clients; spread the ship's Towles; constantly repeat the mantra "beaches are free" like a demented parrot; do not spend anything at the resort; bring food and drink browsed from the ship's buffet, all wrapped in a ship's napkin; bury their picnic debris in the sand; use the sea, beach and all the venue's facilities for free; if there is charge for toilets, decline and use the sea; return to the ship by the cheapest means. Then when back in the Ship boast they spent the day at Carambola (Kim Sha et al) taking lunch and drinks there. HERDS: Arrive loudly en masse; stay loudly; have shouting conversations on their mobiles, or with other herd members, albeit 2 feet or 20 yards way; bring coolers full of Supermarket bought beer and food, then demand ice for free; bring boom boxes and play on highest volume; sometimes pay for beds but insist a colony of friends is created; complain about the price of venue's food as the reason for buying a single slice of pizza. Seek to use Hotel or Beach facilities for free, failing that, turn the sea into a Urinal (aka going for a swim) Abuse or ridicule other guests, and members of the venue's staff, solely for the group's amusement. Basically, it's a group who knowingly do everything possible to spoil the genteel ambience of the venue, and to annoy as many people as it is physically possible. Then leave loudly en masse. Other items of annoyance can be added to each of the above definitions as required.

Pillars and Stingray are in the schedule, along with a full circumnavigation of Antigua, sights, swims, snorkel, lunch etc. Plus an adrenaline rush. Space limited, sells out quickly, book early, discounts for children and direct online booking. https://adventureantigua.com/activities/the-xtreme-circumnav/ The best tour on Antiqua…

No…. The OP stated what were any restrictions on having a package and then “buying” a round of drinks.

Nothing to stop the physical purchase of a full round of drinks for all one’s friends/group. Done it numerous of times.
