We have gone with Mystic Man on the Piton snorkel and sail trip 3 times while we were in port on a cruise ship. Wonderful experience, as always!

Only downside was we were prepared to pay with cash at the end of the excursion, but the captain was radioed that they wanted to run our credit cards we had on file in case of a no show. Everyone agreed (20 people), then we just got our credit card statement. We were charged $6 more for the exchange rate, and then an $8 foreign transaction fee.

If you are thinking about taking this excursion, definitely do so. However only pay with cash!!!

I tried to reserve a Blue Hole and Dunn River Falls tour with Marks Tours, but he does not operate from there. Any suggestions on any other tour operators from Montego Bay?

There are many things to do in Antigua, great beaches, fort, etc. check out the cruisecritic.com and search on Antigua. We have been there several times.

[quote name='royalcruz']The 40 bus does not go to the airport. Only the 1 bus does. You can get off the 1 bus at SE 17th St and take the 40 bus east to Eisenhower Blvd, 2 blocks from the port entrance. That is as close as you are going to get. Your terminal will either be between a few blocks and 1.5 miles from the bus stop.[/quote]

When we get off the 1 bus on 17th, is there a place we can buy sodas, beer, etc. nearby?

Thanks for all the great help!

My husband and I only bring a backpack on our cruises, so we travel light. We are staying on Hollywood beach the night before our cruise and can get there pretty easily on the public bus system. We will take the bus back to the airport and either try to take another bus or get a cab.

My question is, I believe it is route 40 from the airport that will take you to Port Everglades.

Can anyone give me an idea how close we can get to the entrance to the port?

Thanks for the help!

We are coming in on Carnival this time so we will be at the new Mahogany pier. In the past we have walked to the Coxen Hole grocery store to stock up on beer, coffee, etc. I have been to the West End before - no grocery store there. Is there a grocery store in the West Bay we could buy supplies at?
