Construction has started on a new Day Club pool at the Antigua Cruise Port, marking another phase in the ongoing upland development project aimed at enhancing visitor experiences on the island.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Port officials said the pool will form part of a leisure-focused space designed for both cruise passengers and locals, adding to the range of amenities available while ships are in port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work is also progressing on roofing across new retail kiosks and storefronts, with the structures expected to house a mix of duty-free outlets, food and beverage services, and locally owned businesses.<\/p>
