Re: Am I crazy for staying on the ship during St. Thomas? TJTrippe 04/26/2026 12:21 PM
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.

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.

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.

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.
