Thanks! I have been round and round with my airline, but there are unfortunately no other itineraries that will get us from our departure city to STT earlier (although one agent did confuse Charlotte-Amelie with Charlotte, NC and then tried to book me into NC so I could "take a bus" to my final destination. Haha!). Native Son's website shows they are not running a 9am ferry out of Charlotte-Amelie on Sat 5/27 and I can't get any ferry schedules to show up on the RTFF website. My email enquiries to them have gone unanswered. Ferries out of Red Hook are the only options I can currently find for that Saturday morning. If I am doing something wrong, please point me in the right direction!
