believer33323 Posted October 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Has anyone tried renting a jeep while in St. Thomas and touring the Island on your own????? I'm thinking of doing it since our excursion with RCCL was cancelled... Also what port does the Allure come into??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallasm Posted October 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2013 She is coming into Crown Bay. Just a remark on car hire - please be aware that you will be driving at the left side of the road - a challeng if you haven'd tried it before - and some are driving 'like hell' - I would consider a taxi.

I understand the left side driving but what would be the difference when you book an excursion through the cruise line. You are still required to drive the car yourself anyway.

Oasis and Allure use Crown Bay. Most other ships use Havensight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilda Posted October 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would also check how many ships are in port that day. Traffic in St. Thomas is typically congested on a good day. If you have never been there before then go for it...but be aware that you should give yourself extra time to return the Jeep because Charlotte Amalie traffic can be brutal.

The rental agency closes at 5 and that's 2 hours before the ships departure Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on the web site sea scanner dot com and it shows it's position at Havensight. What's up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
