Is Antigua our favourite port on our Marella Explorer Caribbean cruise?

On day 6 of our Marella Explorer Caribbean cruise, we sail into St John’s Antigua. We joined an organised excursion with Marella to some of the sights including Shirley Heights and Nelson’s Dockyard. We then took a taxi on our own to Dickinson Bay to spend a couple of hours soaking in what Antigua is most famous for - the beach. 🛳️ Ship: Marella Explorer 🗓️ Cruise Date: November 2025 🌎 Region: Caribbean 📍 Itinerary: Paradise Islands WATCH the series:    • Caribbean, Marella Explorer | November 2025   📍 CARIBBEAN CRUISE ITINERARY Day 1 – Bridgetown, Barbados Day 2 – Sea Day Day 3 – Basseterre, St Kitts Day 4 – Philipsburg, St Maarten Day 5 – Road Town, Tortola Day 6 – St John’s, Antigua Day 7 – Roseau, Dominica Day 8 – Bridgetown, Barbados 🎥 Filmed using a DJI Osmo Action Pro 5 ✂️ Edited on LumaFusion 🎵 Music from Epidemic Sound
