metairiegal Posted December 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Dh and I will be on the Regal Princess in St. Thomas on 12/31, docking in Crown Bay. We can't decide! Should we go to Magens Bay on or own? Or, have a beach day via the Kon Tiki boat ride? We are not into snorkeling, just want to spend a little time on the beach, putting our toes in the water and relaxing. Please give us your pros and cons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Magens would be the better choice for you IMO, because if you take a taxi from the dock to Magens you control your time at the beach. There are always taxis at Magens to take you back to the ship, and they will remind you to leave the beach before your ship boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchcanrican Posted December 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Spent a week in St. Thomas. Magen's Bay is nice but there are better non touristy beaches. You could also go to St. John's the beaches there are phenomenal. "Half of a DINK and proud of it!."😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2PinaColadas Posted December 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Magen's will probably be crowded with 4 ships in port, as will be many of the others including Trunk Bay on St. John. I agree with the previous post, try to find a less touristy beach that will be a little more relaxing. Our favorite STT beaches are Sapphire and Lindqvist/Smith Bay, but they will somewhat crowded too. Magen's is pretty, but definitely not in our top 5 in the USVI. We have never done the Kon Tiki excursion, so I really can not comment on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb2004 Posted January 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Is it next to take our own taxi to Megan's bay or book with the cruise company Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lard Greystoke Posted January 7, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is it next to take our own taxi to Megan's bay or book with the cruise company easy to take a taxi. You might ask them to stop at Drake's Seat for a nice view of Magen's from up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted January 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2015 For what you want Magen's Bay would be the better of the two. :D LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
