Walking in St. John's, Antigua - What to do on Your Day in Port

This is a quick video of our walk through the port of St. John's, Antigua. We were on a 7 day Southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. Antigua is a beautiful island. In this video we walk up to St. John's Cathedral also known as the St. John the Divine, the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of North Eastern Caribbean and Aruba. It is an Anglican church perched on a hilltop in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. The present cathedral with its imposing white twin towers was built on a fossilized reef, in 1845, and is now in its third incarnation, as earthquakes in 1683 and in 1745 destroyed the previous structures. The iron gates on the south face of the church are flanked by pillars displaying lead Biblical figures of St John the Divine and St John the Baptist. They were taken by HMS Temple in 1756, from a French ship destined for Martinique.
Antigua is one of the 2 major islands that make up the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. Ringed with coral reefs, the island is known for its many sandy beaches. Set along English Harbour, restored Nelson’s Dockyard, which Admiral Horatio Nelson made his base in the 1780s, includes a marina and the Dockyard Museum. Trails lead up to Shirley Heights, a former military lookout with panoramic views.

I was actually there when my mother died, I returned home (to Trinidad) immediately, and haven't been back since. It was really good to see some familiar places, where I drove, and walked many times. I spent a lot of time in that Internet Cafe whenever I visited. Thanks again for the memories...

So you prefer going on a cruise and not seeing anything in the island vs going to an island directly and spending time there? The main draw of a Caribbean holiday for me anyways is the nature (both on land and in water - diving hiking etc) and eating delicious local food and fresh fish. If you opt to take an expensive cruise cruise and not leave the boat you’re missing the entire Caribbean and you could literally be anywhere in the world. What’s the point?

@briantravelman Жыл бұрын

@@BigA1921 Yeah, I don't understand her comment. She is clearly getting what she's paying for, then complaining that she can't afford shore excursions. Don't pay for the most expensive room with a balcony or window looking at miles and miles of water, and you'll be able to afford a shore excursion. Someone told me if you enjoy sight-seeing don't do a cruise, because for most people the point of a cruise is to hang out and party on a boat. However, it's still possible to do both if you're smart about it. If you're sort of just collecting countries and don't really care about taking the place in, then a cruise might be for you. But I agree, that it's stupid to spend thousands of dollars to go to a foreign country and not even experience it. If you just want to hang out on a boat, there are cruises within the U.S. that you can take. I've been to nine Caribbean islands and didn't visit any of them by cruise ship. I would much rather island hop using the local ferries, and visit the islands I want to visit, instead of being restricted to the schedule and itinerary the cruise company sets up.

@briantravelman Жыл бұрын

Officially YES, but having explored quite a bit of the region, poverty there looks very different. I don't really know how to explain it. There is "poverty" once you get outside the tourist areas, but you usually won't see homelesses or beggars. Some of the islands have high unemployment rates, but a lot of the people in the people are self-sufficient. They can't afford vacations or fancy shoes, but they have enough to survive. And the crime rates are also quite high. Though this is much less prevalent on the European islands. The poverty is much more obvious in Trinidad and the Greater Antilles, where you actually have shanty towns. The average tourist though will usually not be exposed to these poor/dangerous areas.

I actually had to go back and re-watch this video. To Port Monkey...I mean no disrespect, but I am not from Antigua but I know the Caribbean fairly well. I really had to cringe at more than just a few comments. You seem to be filming this with the intent to build up your "Port Monkey" channel, but I was actually glad when this video ended. I am scanning through what jumped out at me in your commentary, and there is not a whole lot of praise for this town or island. Yes...lots of touristy things...they all have them, but you didn't say much other than point out the inconveniences. No street signs....I saw quite a few...and often they actually put a street sign on the corner of a building. I saw some signs...but you didn't read them. The broken grills....yes, will they be there in two years? Who knows....who cares? Rough streets....yes...OLD settlement going back about 500-600 years!...and who knows how many hurricanes? I remember the word "quaint" being used when I lived in Europe in war-riddled areas being restored. The church was fabulous! It was massive and had been rebuilt at least two times more recently. Thank you for making a donation! That was the best part of your video. Why point out the public facilities and then add a comment that you chose to not use them...and sounded like someone needed to? What was the name of the place you stopped and had a beer? Local beer! Was it good? I wish I had a dollar for every time you pointed out the cruise ships.....much more than complimenting the community. A visit with a local resident would have been nice. I'm so sorry to be so blunt.....but I don't have a desire to see another video. Take care, and think like an ambassador to where you are visiting and make your tour more upbeat and less about you.

Longchamp is an exclusive haute couture label in France. They, among many other famous brands, have outlets in many exotic duty-free locations. The locals may pronounce it differently, but the proper pronunciation is "Lon-chom"...the g and p are silent. Google how to pronounce these words if you are going to do a series of tourist videos. You are not doing the port any favors by mispronouncing names and places. Good luck.

@ron777ish 5 жыл бұрын

Yes it is.. Too bad these people missed it. A port is a port is a port. To discover Antigua you must get away from the cruise ship port. Go to the beaches, Darkwood or Jolly beach. Nelsons dockyard, the devils bridge. There is soooo much more to see.. Too bad...

If you are truly island hopping you should already know the best time in the year to travel to get the coolness of the oceans. You probably hang around CA a lot which makes it impossible for you to experience a great vacation. Next time take CA air with you or stay where you are. Don't visit then use your camera to high light your complaints and misfortunes. Best HS education offered without dropouts. But you would not know that, right?

@swissuz 2 жыл бұрын

@@neneferti3887 I have to agree with a lot of what you said. I've been to about a dozen different islands in the Caribbean and each place may be somewhat similar in climate, but a different jewel in the crown. A truly comprehensive and planned video itinerary with knowledge and a broader range would be a more respectful presentation. A quickie video during a day excursion to present on KZfaq isn't really beneficial to the location. I don't mean the typical tourist tours either. Hidden treasures and places the locals like mixed in with some truthful history would be worth subscribing to a channel. Take care.

Our Español is no muy bueno. Gracias por tus comentarios y esperamos que te suscribas a nuestro canal. We found this on the internet (can you believe what you read on the internet): "“You've never been in the Caribbean before and you're starting with Antigua?” Friends say this when they hear about my upcoming West Indies debut, as though there's a proper order for breaking into the Antilles. “Also,” says another, “it's An-tee-guh. Not An-tee-gwuh.”" Encontramos esto en Internet (¿puedes creer lo que lees en Internet): "" Nunca antes has estado en el Caribe y estás empezando por Antigua? " Los amigos dicen esto cuando se enteran de mi próximo debut en las Indias Occidentales, como si hubiera un orden adecuado para irrumpir en las Antillas. "Además", dice otro, "es An-tee-guh. No An-tee-gwuh".

It sounds like you stay home quite a bit and have such bad experiences at your home. You should travel to places like the safari in your neighborhood. When visiting caribbean islands - sounds like you haven't yet, take a good attitude with you and breathe. BTW, Antigua should not be on your list since you won't appreciate our beautiful culture. Book a different island - like Jamaica and have FUN.
