Mountaintop

[dthogue]

We will be visiting St Thomas during a stop on RCI Freedom of the Seas - what is the best way to get to Mountaintop on our own - I really want to see the view as well as get a Banana Daiquiri - We are hoping to do this as our ship excursion.

 

Thanks,

Tammy

Tammy, not sure what you're asking, do you want to go on your own or as part of a ship excursion? You can taxi there, take an island/beach/shopping tour that includes a stop there, or an excursion through the ship.

Sorry, meant to say that we would like to do this "after" our ship excursion, we gets back to the ship at 4:00 - we leave port at 6:30. Trying to figure out how to get to Mountaintop and if we will have enough time.

 

Thanks,

Tammy

Mo problem...looks like you dock at Havensight which is preferred. I would recommend Paradise Point over Mountain Top. The original MT burned down and the new version is just more commercial-looking or lacks the character of the old place. The banana daiquiri is $11 and is good, but you can get that or a Bailey's Bushwacker at PP. Yes, there's a nice view of Magens Bay from MT and if you want to taxi there you will have time for a quick look. The Skyride tram for PP is just across the street from your ship, if you buy tram tickets at your excursions desk you can enjoy a great view of the harbors while relaxing at the open-air restaurant. So you have a couple options, hope I didn't make it harder for you!
