The ships dock right near downtown. No need for a lift.

The cruise ships tie up at St. John's pier. It's as close to downtown as you could possibly get. Try Google maps and you'll see.

Are the shops there nice? We will be there on a Sunday, if that makes a difference.

[Host Kewlguy]

Most everything is closed on Sunday. Except a few tee-shirt/souvenir shops.

i hadn't thought of this closed thing...are there still taxi's and whoever at the port if you haven't booked anything and just want to do whatever?

[Host Kewlguy]

We were in Antigua on a Sunday in November and while the majority of the stores were closed there was no shortage of taxi drivers waiting at the pier. Just be aware these guys will say anything, including lie in order to get your business. We had one taxi driver tell us the buses didn't run on Sunday's even though we knew for a fact they did. We just laughed and waved him off. Some can be very aggressive, just be firm and negotiate a price. Or do what we do and take the bus for a fraction of the cost.
