First, we have been a few times in the past, so we know some of what to expect. But we do not shop a lot and do not know much about days of week or post-Irma. Thus my question so I can plan days for us in late July. Thanks in advance!

If my wife wants one day to go look at shops in Philipsburg, along the boardwalk - are things open on the weekend the same or would Sunday be mostly closed? I know having a ship in port means more people, but if one is not in port, does that mean a lot of places would be closed that day?

(I see one ship in on the 24th which is a Sunday and wondering if this might be a good day to go?)
