    Not normal when they are having propulsion issues.  Normal cruising speed is 22.5 knots.  Over the last two weeks it has been trying to stay between 17 and 18 knots as it transitions form port to port.

    Maybe they felt they could move more quickly since passengers weren’t on board to notice the rockiness? 

  2. When we were there in November we took a taxi right outside the port for a full island tour. It was ok but while we were eating lunches there happened to be a fire nearby that completely blocked up traffic. The driving maneuvers our driver did, I never would have felt comfortable doing. Their driving is kind of wild?

  3. It looks like 10 and under need an adult.  Honestly my kids were pretty timid at first and I don’t think they would have been comfortable without us. Our 6 year never even touched the dolphin during the encounter (which is a really great story after the fact ?.) We had  debated between Blue Lagoon and Atlantis but Blue Lagoon sold out. The dolphin encounter was one of my favorite parts of our trip. The rest of Atlantis was just ok. 

  4. Blue Lagoon you can just get a pass for the beach day, you don’t have to pay the same amount if you aren’t doing the encounter.

     

    we did the Atlantis dolphin excursion and the dolphin part was good but the rest of the day was just ok. We had planned to do Blue Lagoon but they sold out. If we ever go back to Nassau we would ty Blue Lagoon. 

  5. Last time we were in St. Thomas we did a snorkel at Buck island and then went to Honeymoon beach on Water Island. We are either doing the same excursion or just taking the water taxi over to Water Island our selves. The beach was amazing with great food at Dhingy’s.

    I can’t remember how far out the excursions became available for me, but I do remember that not all of them were released at once. I have a St Thomas stop on Allure in May so I can check my cruise planner to see if I see the excursion you are looking for. It’s not a guarantee it will be the same for your sailing, but it’s prob a pretty safe bet.  Do you remember what it was called/what it did?

    It was the Caribbean 'FastCat' 2-Island Snorkeling Safari and Beach Getaway. It is confusing why there are so few options for this port. Hopefully I am just early to the show :2_grimacing:

  7. Last November we sailed on Oasis and did an excursion in St. Thomas we loved. We booked on Allure for this coming November and the same excursion is not available to book. It seems there are few excursions in St. Thomas to book right now. When I do the generic search for St. Thomas excursions there are 38 offerings, but when I go through my cruise planner maybe half of that are listed. Will more become available as we get closer or is different because of different ship offerings?
