oh no. we swim back and forth to red hook.
when we want to take a ferry we just do that from Charlotte Amalie to Cruz Bay.

st john beach day is well worth the trouble to get on a ferry. we just have remember to buy our return ferry ticket in the morning in case it gets sold out.

OK whatever.

Carol look at pictures it’s a rail car! The only other option to get up to the town from the tender dock is walking up a very steep hill or ride on a donkey.

Frankly it would be a waste of my time to re-send you the info on the outstanding Santorini guide we had. If you’re that terrified of heights you will not see Santorini.

Rick--Send me the info. We have something booked for Santorini through the cruise line. I have onboard credit that I need to use. I will tell you though I absolutely cannot do a cable car, so I want to avoid that at all costs. I am absolutely terrified of heights. You do not want to hear about my experience in Germany with a cable car. If it's relatively close to the ground, I might be OK.

So Carol do you want the website and contact info for the Santorini tour people who were absolutely amazing?

Therrs a newish Sandals? At he Georgetown end of Grand Anse, before the cemetery....ohhhh the infinity pool looks top notch from the main road...it opens all the way, splitting the two sides of the hotel. One day i will book it.

I stayed at BBC beach. The Kalinago??? Resort was nasic at the time, food was great, and the small beach quiet.

Its been a while but grand anse beach is my recommendation.

Carol have you ever been to the Parliament House Restaurant or the Fish Fry village of great local food in Nassau?

So what if you’re in traffic you’re in a cab! My opinion is St. John is significantly much better than St. Thomas.

However being on a cruise ship stopover I would not risk going to STJ with the chance of getting back to the ship as it leaves port. Also do not take a ship excursion to STJ as you’re in a crowd of ... Since the accurate word was censored, I'll say you'd be in a huge crowd of s-h-e-e-p-l-e.

It's not just the traffic to Red Hook, you also have the ferry. St. John is ok, but I wouldn't do all that, just to get to St. John.

St Thomas means St John……so we would brave the traffic to/from Red Hook to get to St John.

I have to think that you booked this cruise for the ship, not the ports, as I would never book that cruise with only those ports. If I were going to stay on the ship for one of them, it would be Nassau, as I find nothing interesting there at all, after about 10 stops there. I adore St Thomas, so I personally wouldn't skip it. Of course I have never been on one of those Royal Caribbean monster ships, and I doubt I ever will. They don't appeal to me at all. We're going on Enchanted Princess in Europe in three weeks, and it is plenty big enough for me. It's your cruise, you don't have to plan anything ahead of time. How late is the ship in port? I might spend a few hours on the pool deck and head off the ship around noon. Enjoy!
