What about Antigua???

[1971visitor]

We're on the 10-04 Magic to Antigua. Where can I find a site for excirsions or a navigator?

This is the first time Disney is doing a Port of Call in Antigua, so you will not see information on Disney excursions there -- at least not yet. I'm sure DCL will send you a listing of excursion options as the cruise gets closer. They may even possibly list them on their website eventually, you never know.

Actually, DCL is doing some cruises in fall of 2004 with stops in Antigua. There are some meet threads on the meet page for these folks. I am looking forward to seeing their trip reports, since we'll be on the 10 day cruise as well.

1971, wdwgoose, TNRobin and our family were also on the first western cruise in 2002. We just did lots of web searches and gathered lots of information ourselves. If I remember right, DCL released the shore excursions for the western itenerary something like 3 months before sailing, but most of us already had good ideas of what we wanted to do.

As far as the navigators, I'd imagine that the Key West, St. Thomas and St. Martin will be similar to the normal ones (but the time ashore is going to be a bit different because of the greater travel time we're going to need). Day's at sea will probably be similar to the Eastern (since they have one additional day at sea over the Western). It's just those two additional ports that we're going to be in the dark for.

The Cruise Critic boards have a "Ports of Call" board, and Antigua is one of the ports with its own category. Try cruisecritic.com , then go to "boards", scroll down to the Ports board. They also have St. Lucia, which we're stopping at on the 12-04 cruise as well. People post with reviews of what they've done in the ports, it's an excellent source of information. Some of the tours discussed may eventually be DCL tours, but others you may have to book on your own. It's usually cheaper to do it that way, anyway. Diana

We just booked an Eco Tour through www.antiguaadventures.com for our 10/2/04 cruise. They have received many, many glowing reviews on the Cruise Critic Antigua board and we're really looking forward to it. They pick up at 10:00 and drop back off at 4:15pm so it works out perfectly. Cost is $90 per person and all food/beverages are included.
