OCruisers Posted November 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Tickle's Dockside Pub is at the Crown Bay Marina so would be very convenient for you! Pretty View - Good Food! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms411 Posted December 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If you want food with an island flavor go to Island Flavor which is right at Crown Bay. Very popular with locals. Food is served cafeteria style so you can see what you're getting. Huge portions. Tickles is good, but very continental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O2B@Cagain Posted December 4, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Frenchtown (between Crown Bay and town) has several great restaurants: Bella Blu and Hook, Line and Sinker are a couple. If you want local food in town, try Cuzzin's. Another great place in town is Cafe Amalia in Palm Passage. I think of Tickles as more boaty than continental..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 4, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What is "boaty" food? Continental is the type of food served at Tickles, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted December 4, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Getting ready to sail here and was wondering if there are any good restaurants in Charlotte Amalie or near Crown Bay (where we will be docked). Away from the Cruise Herds? Then consider http://havanabluerestaurant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 4, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Havana Blue is on the other side of town. You'll pass lots of good restaurants on your way to Havana Blue. Island Flavor and Tickles are within a short walking distance from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island Flavor and Tickles are within a short walking distance from the ship. One does agree with your statement. However, the words "walking distance" is proven to being quite attractive to the Cruise Herds, especially when posted on CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have never seen cruise herds eating at Island Flavor. Was there last week with 2 ships at Crown Bay and it was not crowded. It's open air so the lack of air conditioning may discourage some diners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms411 Posted December 6, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Tickles has been recommended on CC and TripAdvisor for years. It isn't crowded either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted December 6, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Tickles has been recommended on CC and TripAdvisor for years. It isn't crowded either. Fully accepted. Just viewed their website, and it declares itself as a being a "Pub", that appears to sell a great variety of fast food. On viewing all that is on offer at Tickles, one will still take a cab to the restaurant on the far side of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 6, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Tickles is very popular for casual meals. Havana Blue is more upscale and is very popular for special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Portman Posted December 6, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sometime ago, I got a wrist slap for posting a link to a website where I write about cruise ports so ... I will refrain myself. Here you have some of the best restaurants in St. Thomas (Charlotte Amalie) that I reviewed.: Amalia Café, Café Amici, Gladys' Cafe, Green House, Side Street Pub and Bumpa's ...

O2B@Cagain Posted December 8, 2016 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Ms 411: Boaty food is casual food for boaties. You know that, surely.:D Continental in the local parlance? Not continental as in fine European dining, correct? Havana Blue is only open for dinner. What is a "good" restaurant? To me it is more Cafe Amalie and Bella Blu and less Tickles or the Greenhouse... Different strokes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 8, 2016 #21 Share Posted December 8, 2016 No, I didn't know that there was food specifically for boaties. The menus at most of the casual restaurants are pretty much the same whether on land or by sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
