Antigua Excursion: Catamaran Cruise with Lobster Lunch

Delicious!

On our Celebrity Edge Southern Caribbean sailing, we booked the Catamaran Cruise with Lobster Lunch. Here’s a quick, two minute summary:

We started meeting in the theater. We left the theater at 10:41 am. We walked through the ship and down two sets of stairs to disembark. By 10:48 am, we were lined up at the pier.

The line was split into two groups of about 50 people. We took the 2 minute walk to the docked catamarans. The crew offered juice, water or soda while everyone got settled. The Mystic Cruises Catamaran was very nice with plenty of seating.

We left the dock at 11:10 am for a leisurely sailing along the shoreline. The Captain narrated everything we were seeing. At 12:51 pm, we had our first beach stop: Turner’s Beach. It had white sand, clear water, and some chairs for rent.

While everyone was at the beach, the crew got started preparing lunch. They set up tables and chairs and cooked the lobsters. At 2:00 pm, everyone was back onboard and seated at tables. The bar opened with options of mixed drinks, rum punch, beer, white wine, and sparkling wine. At 2:10 pm, lunch service began. Everyone received a plate with half a lobster, roasted potatoes, salad, and rice and beans. It was really lovely and the food was very good. Lunch was finished by 2:40 pm.

We started our return trip the same way. At 3:35 pm, we had a our second beach stop: Deep Bay Beach right next to Royalton Antigua. This beach was busier with more boats and beach vendors. The water became deep pretty quickly. We got to meet Barry the Barracuda.

At 4:35 pm, we left Beach #2 and had fun sailing and dancing back to the dock. We were back at the dock at 5:10 pm.
