Creator's Key Takeaways

It's really tranquil here.

Perfect. If I swing the camera around the other way, you'll see where we are at patch that this end of the beach is is is vacant really.

I guess when you dream of a Caribbean beach, this is probably the sort of thing you think of rather than people all sat together on a beach.

The food definitely um you know, even at the buffet or the restaurant, even the snacks at night when we go into some of the bars and a lot of snacks um at the where was it where we had the nachos?

YouTube Video Description↓

We’re back in beautiful Antigua for another beach day! πŸ–οΈ This time, we decided to skip the usual spots and head over to Jolly Beach (or Jolley's Beach) for some peace and quiet. In this video, we share our experience getting there (including a very interesting taxi swap!), the 500m walk to the waterfront, and why this might be the most tranquil beach we’ve found on the island yet. 🏝️ We also take some time to chat about life onboard the Azamara Quest, including: Our Honest Food Review: From the specialty curries at the Indian buffet to the best snacks at the Patio Bar. πŸ› Onboard Entertainment: Why we ended up playing Scrabble in the "Living Room" instead of hitting the late-night shows. 🎲 Ship Comparison: Seeing how our small, 700-passenger ship looks next to the massive cruise liners in St. John’s port. 🚒 If you’re planning a cruise to Antigua or thinking about sailing with Azamara, we hope this gives you a good feel for the experience!
