St. Thomas

Recommended Posts

Just got back from 7 day eastern cruise (3 Oct- 10 Oct)  had a great time EXCEPT at St. Thomas  this stop for a Oasis size ship is a waste of time We had to dock at the far end of the island because the ship is to large to dock at the main port. This dock has maybe 50 -70 shops, out of that maybe 20 are open and they have there prices way out of line. Talked to one of the owners and they said it is hard to stay open because only the very large ships dock there. At the main port all of the other cruise ships dock there and have all the shops and outlets. You can take a taxi from the far side to the main port but it than costs and you still have to be back.

Crown Bay is 3.3 miles from Havensight. It's a 12 minute taxi ride.  Neither are on "the far end of the island ".   Cruise ships can't visit the far ends of the island.

I get it.  The pandemic has impacted a lot of things.  Stores are closed and some retailers are out of business.  They rely exclusively on tourists to survive and there haven't been any tourists for 16 months.  Some stores may never reopen at Crown Bay and at Havensight. 

Terrible thing this pandemic.
