DST Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 First, I stumbled upon this group,, so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area - how lucky am I We received a free cruise offer and booked the Empress for July - Can someone tell me where the ship docks in St Thomas, I am confused as to Crown Bay or Havensight. We have been to St Thomas before but want to plan the day and need to know where we will be docked. If anyone has any tips on Empress, I know she is small and oldest in the fleet, but looking for any tips. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose City Cruiser Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 On our sailing last year, they had complimentary mimosas and bloody mary for breakfast in the MDR on sea days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Charlotte Amalie is the normal port in St Thomas. That is where my RC ships have always docked. Your itinerary should list each port. There are a number of gift shops within walking distance, but most excursions require transportation. Some people even take a ferry to St. John.

ChessE4 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Update: The Oasis-class ships appear to go to Crown Bay and the others to Havensight, but check with someone recently on the Empress. My cruise there was a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Here is a YouTube video about the dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Is Havensight open again ? It was closed the last time we were there (April on Freedom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkelBierJay Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thank you for posting the question. I had not thought to look at Empress' itineraries yet since Cuba was disallowed. My best guess is Havensight, yet was surprised that it had been closed according to @WAAAYTOOO. I will say that I would absolutely LOVE some of those itineraries they have posted for that ship, and the prices are great values. She is small, but mighty, and could be my favorite ship.

"Please note that while Royal Caribbean ships are typically scheduled to dock at the Crown Bay Cruise Port," I dug down deeper in the article about Royal Caribbean ships docking in Charlotte Amalie, and I found this statement I overlooked the first time. This is consistent with the report that Havensight is not being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think Havensight was damaged during <one of> the hurricane and still has not been fully restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
