Need some advise [help ]

We need some help please.

We will be berthing Port Antigua from Celebrity Eclipse on Christmas Day this year, are their any shops open ? Taxis ? Excursions etc ?? Is it business as usual on the Island ??

Any help or advice would be fantastic so thank you in advance 😜👌

I'm not in a position to predict, but one option to consider is a ship tour. Or you might google for private excursions and see if any are available for that day or if they are all closed down. You could call a private tour operator and ask them about the possibility of shops being open on Christmas Day when a ship is in and see how they react.

Happy Planning, m--

There are a LOT of stores right in the port and my guess is that most will be open but it's just a guess.

You might want to post a question in the Antigua ports forum and hopefully get an answer from someone who has experience.'

You'll find it here:

The suggestion about emailing private tour operators and asking them is a good one. You'll find some names on that forum above.

The last suggestion might take a little more work. You can look through Roll Calls from this last December and try to find a cruise that was in port last Christmas day and ask what their experience was.

We;ve never cruised over Christmas, but have done so over Easter a few times...and found almost everything in port to be closed....it is a religious holiday, and most of the islands are very religious....

Have you joined your roll call? Often there's people on that forum which have answers to questions you have
