SugarStar00 Posted February 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm debating what to do for our 4th stop in St. Thomas. Revisit a beach we've already been to ( coki or sapphire) or take the journey over to St. John and see what Trunk Bay (or Cinnamon Bay) is all about. I'm hesitant to do so because we also stop in Tortola and will be taking a ferry over to Virgin Gorda and I'm not sure I want to spend so much time traveling, but at the same time I feel like it might be time to see St. John. I'm looking for pictures/reviews that you have (or just links to one). I did a search but came up with a lot of old threads with no pics. Thanks!!

adrenalinejeeper Posted February 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2015 We were on the Getaway in May, 2014. We took a taxi to Red Hook, ferry to St John, then taxi to Cinnamon. It was amazing, we were basically the only people there! I think we saw 3-5 other people when we got there. Walked east along the beach almost to the end and took a nap in the shade. Went back towards the main beach area later and there were some more people, but I would still call in empty compared to other beaches we saw. We had time to walk the ruins across the street too. Very cool self guided excursion. (Hope the pictures work, using the mobile app) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourseventeen Posted February 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cinnamon Bay is my favorite spot on the islands of St John and St Thomas. I say go there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDuck Posted February 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Loved St. John. Can't wait to go back. My review here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=41581102&postcount=19 Gorgeous photos! Are the taxi's back to the ferry, from Cinnamon Bay, as plentiful as they are from Trunk's Bay. We have been to Trunk Bay and would like to go to Cinnamon Bay as it sounds like it is less crowded. Any reason why you would not buy a round trip ticket on the ferry? Just curious!

I'm hesitant to do so because we also stop in Tortola and will be taking a ferry over to Virgin Gorda Jen I'm curious What ship are you on? We are going on RC and they cancelled our Tortola stop. :( We were really looking forward to it so know scrounging for some new and different areas as we have been to St Thomas several times. When will you be going I'd like to hear if you did it on your own and how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going on the Carnival Liberty. I'm not sure we are going to make the trip over to trunk bay this time- there will be 5 ships in port when we are there and I read some scary reviews about hitting major traffic on the way back from the ferry terminal...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sailing Liberty in 52 days, 5 ships in port and I'm also worried about making the trip to St. John and the traffic coming back. I'm thinking a early beach day in St. Thomas and then head back to ship if it gets too crowded. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :) There was only one taxi waiting, but there's a park office so I think they would be able to call one over. I did get round trip tickets, they come in singles.
