For our cruise leaving on 1/7, there are only four excursions on St Thomas

Thanks for the recommendation!

There's concern about the effects of hurricane damage to the island of St Thomas. Celebrity changed to St Thomas from the port of St Maartin.

True; hey we'll make the best of it. 14 days on vacay is better than being in the office, LOL!

I noticed that Celebrity has only four shore excursions for St Thomas. And if the island is still in such bad shape, can't understand why Celebrity selected this island rather than another island.

We too just received an email for a change on Jan 7 Eclipse cruise. The first stop has been changed from St. Maarten to St. Thomas, USVI.

The small amount of info I can find about St Thomas shows the devastation to be similar to St Maarten so can’t understand why that would be chosen as an alternate destination. I can only assume that the industry is having trouble trying to fit all the ships into a reduced number of ports.

Has anyone seen St Thomas recently?

I agree! Not sure why Celebrity changed to St Thomas as I don't think the island is back to normal. Also, while they changed the itinerary, there are no shore excursions offered yet for St Thomas, even though they are advertising a shore excursion sale that ends in 6 hours! We'd prefer to stop at an island not affected by the hurricanes!
