Me heading back to my Oceania cruise ship, Insignia, at the end of a full day in Antigua. Standing on the pier with views of Redcliffe Quay, the picturesque waterfront area lined with colorful buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, is located at the south end of the cruise terminal at the Nevis Street Pier.
