The six Brooklyn friends whose cruise vacation to Antigua turned into a nightmare sat down with the Daily News to recount the worst vacation ever. One said of their time in a jail cell, "The things we take for granted were the things we were missing; the music, the fresh air, the McDonald's."

A group of Brooklyn residents who got into a fight with cops in Antigua last month—apparently over a cab fare—have decided to plead guilty in hopes of no jail time. The group had been upset about a $100 cab fee (twice what they negotiated with the driver—hey, it's like NYC) and the incident escalated when two plainclothes cops got involved. The tourists swung at them, claiming the cops didn't ID themselves. The cops, in turn, claimed the tourists hit them first—and even bit them. The Brooklyn five will be sentenced today.
