Relayer Posted November 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just left St Lucia on the Miracle. Had a great time at Anse Chastenet. Captain just announced a re-schedule to Antigua in place of St Kitts due to Celebrity guests being robbed in the Brimstone Hill area. Apparently they were part on an organized excursion. No details given. Dissapointed that we won't be spending the day at Cockleshell Beach with Wilbur and friends. Need quick help on a beach suggestion in Antgua. If I remember correctly it is the Isand of 365 beaches. We just need one great one! Cruise is great and the Mircale is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Jolly Beach last year and I think everyone enjoyed it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee53 Posted November 16, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2010 We grabbed a van ride at the pier and were taken to Turner's Beach. LOVED it. Bar and grill, palapas, not too noisy, gorgeous sand and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oncruisecontrol Posted November 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2010 We were in Antigua last year on the Freedom, and we took a short 10-12 minute taxi ride to Dickenson Bay Beach. It was beautiful. It's where the Sandals Antigua All-Inclusive Resort is. The water was nice, and the sand was like powdered sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachi Posted November 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That is too bad about St. Kitts, that's one of my favorite stops. I wonder for how long they will be cancelling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser9800 Posted November 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Glad you are enjoying your cruise. Read about what happened at St. Kitts, and Carnival probably made the right call by avoiding it for now. We are sailing on the Miracle in a few weeks and have one concern. We read about the lack of live entertainment, and in particular, the lack of a calypso band or duo by the pool. Is it true that they actually replaced the calypso band or duo with a one person musician? If so, is it possible to find out when this will be replaced by a real band or if not duo, as it is generating a lot of complaints and I hope that if it is true, it will not be the case for long. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Can't wait to hear about it when you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
