Eileenfa1 Posted March 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I posted this to ports but, never got a reply. Just want to know if going to downtown area is worth the walk- I'm in a wheelchair and wanting to buy jewelry from a reputable place. Also, how far is downtown from have sight area? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Most of the same shops are also located at the port. The downtown is about a mile or so. There are constant trolleys running back and forth.

flips7 Posted March 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Downtown Is a great place to get jewelry. It seems to be better than shopping at the pier in my opinion. I have gotten lots of jewelry for my DW in St Thomas, this is her favorite island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted March 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It is a 2 mile walk along the walkway. We went last time and there were nothing more than jewelry shops. Tons of them I should say. The streets do have sidewalks but you would have to step not sure if manageable in a wheel chair. They had large drop offs that I recall. Maybe someone else can answer that one. You can catch a taxi down for $4pp each way, at least that is what it was in Dec. It wasn't for us, will stay at the pier next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted March 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Keep checking the ports of call board for info, someone might eventually post there. The mods will probably move your post there anyway. Good luck, but in my own experience, I found there was plenty of varied shopping stores at Havensight. Though I admit I was not looking for jewellery. Try googling Havensight mall/St Thomas for info on what stores are there too. Have a great cruise.:) Edited March 5, 2015 by SMSACE6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileenfa1 Posted March 5, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Ok. Thank you. I will try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted March 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Years ago, we were there and I bought a couple necklaces, as well as a tanzanite bracelet with diamonds. I will say i check at least 8 - 10 other shops close by, to see if the design/price paid was going to be good, or compare. When I got home,my son told me I paid a good price for what I got. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
