Creator's Key Takeaways

Just stepping right off the ship right into St. John's is really nice also.

The one thing though I will say, even if you're not here to shop, is the bright colored buildings are just so cool to look at.

It's a lot of fun. They play great '80s music too.

Not a ton to do in town, but the place we went to is fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Follow the music to find Rub Runners bar right off the ship.
Use an ATM outside if you don't want to use your Visa card.
Check out the craft market and fresh food area for local shopping.

YouTube Video Description

Is Antigua really worth getting off the ship for… or should you stay onboard and enjoy a quiet day on the cruise? 🚢 In this Antigua cruise port guide, we walk straight off the ship into St. John’s to show you exactly what it’s like to explore Antigua on your own – no paid excursion, no big tour group, just a DIY day in port. We take you from the cruise terminal through the streets of St. John’s, check out local shops and markets, and give you our honest take on whether this popular Caribbean port lives up to the hype. If you’re trying to decide what to do in Antigua on a cruise, this video will help you figure out if it's worth your time (and money) to explore the town or head straight for a beach. Planning a Caribbean Cruise? Antigua and Barbuda is famous for having 365 beaches, but what is the actual port town of St. John's like? We show you the reality of the cruise port area, so you can decide whether to book an excursion or wander, as we did.
