ST THOMAS 1st time.

Ship docked at Havensight Mall.

Taxi to downtown in shared F truck is U$4pp each way.

We were in on a Sunday and shops didn’t open till 9.30ish.

Gladys cafe, good coffee and wifi.

The free Wifi offered at the tourism office in port didn’t work.

Lots and lots of jewellery shops and tourist shops. Nice tablecloth shop but expensive for us due to exchange rate.

ST THOMAS 2nd time

Went up skyride. U$21 pp return.

Nice view, drinks expensive, wifi didn’t work very well.

Grabbed a HIPPO water taxi across bay. U$5 pp return. Only goes when full though so you can end up sitting for a while waiting.

I didn’t find much to look at in town.

Four ships in here on same day. Docks right in town.

Wifi available at bars if you buy a drink.

Another Caribbean town with lots of tours being sold outside cruise terminal.

Easy to walk around but very rough pavements.

Even though it was well set up for food and drinks, we were not impressed with the beach.

Off ship early, very little open till 9am.

Beautiful architecture, tourist shopping available with lots of the same thing but also higher end shops around Renaissance Hotel.

Easy to walk around and get into town.

Walked off ship past Renaissance hotel and shops over Queen Anne swing bridge. Starbucks coffee, MacDonalds and Subway available. Wifi available at cafe’s and free spots.

Cruise ship books out most transportation, so cannot get trolley train unless booked through ship.

Was offered a cheaper tour on way back to ship but time was tight, cheap tour operators also available once across pontoon bridge.

Moored in shipping container port, not downtown.

Town is long distance away. No shuttle provided to town. U$3 one way for taxi.

Walked to cruise terminal shops, used wifi then returned to ship and spent day by pool and watching containers being moved around.

Favourite port stop on cruise.

Ship docks right at port, very nicely set up area.

A few good beach bars, great beach/ sand, pool, Starbucks coffee and some shops.

We walked to Jacks Shack at far end of the beach purely due to wanting Jerk chicken, which was okay but not like Jamaican jerk. Drink prices were same as onboard.

The crew from Crown Princess were all there on an organised staff day for lunch, so very busy. Would try some of the other places if we go back.

Swimming pool was a great set up right next door to Margaritaville.
