beckers Posted June 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Is the best shopping at the shops at the Dock or is better to go downtown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjb1 Posted June 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Not much actually at the dock. Downtown Phillipsburg is very close to the dock itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kviolasr Posted June 17, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2005 No comparison between the dock and downtown - bigger selection downtown -especially for jewelry. Easy to get there by water taxi. The walk isn't even that bad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mared1 Posted June 24, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Is the best shopping at the shops at the Dock or is better to go downtown? Downtown for sure, and don't forget to go over to the French side - there are unique shops there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted June 25, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2005 .... unless you are there in off season. Especially during hurricane season much of the French side shuts down. So it's really not worth the trip IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjohn Posted July 17, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Is it far to downtown - how long would a water taxi take? We are booked on a trip at 11.00a.m. We dock at 8.00a.m. Would we have time to go downtown to buy our duty free before we go on our trip?

TIMETOGOAGAIN Posted July 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2005 There's always time to shop!!:) What kind of question is that? - If you have to tender in anyway, the shops are right there. If you have to get something made, you can always have it put together while you're on the tour and pick it up on your way back to the ship. I haven't missed a ship yet waiting for my jewelry to be made!!;) Everyone is vey accommodating and seems to be aware of the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2vacation Posted July 17, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Timetogoagain- What are your favorite jewelry shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMETOGOAGAIN Posted July 25, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've found Kay's on Front Street to be my favorite. I've gotten some great pieces and they seem to work with you on the best prices. They are very accommodating on changing stones to other settings. I am a strong believer in having an idea on what you want before you go and checking prices at home first. I'll admit though that I usually come away with more!!:D The cold beer they provide is also a nice touch! Not something they do back here in Minnesota. I have also gotten a couple of things at Amerstdam on Wathey Square that have held up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanBlue Posted July 29, 2005 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2005 A stop at the Belgian Chocolate shop is a MUST do also. It's addictive. Most of the shops on the French side are shut down on Sunday's also. CaribbeanBlue http://www.*****.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
