    Ferry from St. Thomas to St. John?

    in St. Thomas/St. John

    Cannot help you with the cruise excursions. But the two passenger STT - STJ ferries are running regular routes, every hour on the hour (see the schedules on the VINow dot com site).

     

    Many prefer ferrying on their own for the utmost flexibility - no need to pre-book, and you get more time there at a lower cost. If interested just taxi from Crown Bay or WICO to the Red Hook ferry terminal and take the 15 minute ferry to Cruz Bay. Taxi cost is $10 - $11/pp each way, and the ferry is $8.15/pp each way. Taxis are waiting to whisk you to a beach, or add an island tour for ~$25/pp…

     

    You can also use the Crown Bay ferry, but the departure times are very limited, and it’s a longer, potentially rougher ride..

    Are there any concerns about us getting back to the cruise on time?   Wondering if there are a lot of taxis in St John's to bring you back. Thanks

    MSC experiences?

    How do you book your time for Flexi dining - can you book before the cruise or when you get on board?

     

     

     

    The Flexi early and Flexi late is a new concept to be introduced on Meraviglia, Seaside and all new ships in those classes. For true 'any time' Aurea (spa style experience) or Yacht Club (ultra luxury) are the current options, with Fantastica due to have the flexi on the new ships.

     

    To answer your question, everyone gets to eat in the MDR for free, however on really full sailings guests on a Bella experience may be seated in the buffet but with tables set properly and full waiter service. Fantastica guests have the priortity of choice over dining time, however these can't be guaranteed, Aurea and YC have complete freedom of choice
