Antigua Cruise Port: Is Dickenson Bay Worth It & Cost Breakdown
We skipped the excursion and spent a full port day at Dickenson Bay in Antigua — docked at Heritage Quay in St. John's — to see if the most touristy beach on the island is actually worth it, or a total tourist trap. In this video: getting a taxi straight from the Heritage Quay cruise port (no excursion needed), a full day at Dickenson Bay, the floating Kon Tiki Bar (yes, it's real, and no, it's not a gimmick), and lunch back at the port before reboarding. 📖 Want the full breakdown — costs, taxi options, tipping customs, and everything else?
