AOS - which dock in St. Thomas?

[michelle028]

Hi Everyone,

 

Which dock does Adventure of the Seas dock at in St. Thomas? and which is the closest free public beach to the cruise port?

 

Thanks for your reply!

All RC ships are now using Crown Bay.

Wow! Does Crown Bay have an area where their tours leave from like Havensight does?

Yes, there will be people holding up signs for the NCCL tours just like at Havensight.

You won't have a problem. Enjoy! :D

And I am quite sure the folks that sail with Princess are quite happy about this, too.:rolleyes:

What is the best free beach closest to Crown Bay? How much is it per person for a taxi?

We often cruise with Princess and are sorry we will no longer be docking at Crown Bay. :(

I didn't realize that RCCL only docks at Crown Bay, now. It has been a while since I went to St. Thomas, so I have never docked there. I am so used to being near Havensight and walking distance to shopping and Paradise Point. Exactly where is Crown Bay in relation to the Havensight area docks? We sail this Sunday (Aug. 6th). I may have to adjust my strategy.

 

Thanks for the information.

The other side of a very wide bay.

I'll have to remember that! Don't book RC cruises to St Thomas. Unfortunately I'm going there twice once on Jewel & once on Celebrity Silhouette. If fact I like Nassau better than Crown bay.

Zero (if you don't include the ferry charge). Walk right out of the entrance to the Crown Bay marina grocery (large wine department by the way). Walk right to the bar at the end of the pier. Take the Water Island ferry across to the large island behind you for about $6. Walk straight ahead over small hill and then slight angle right down to water to Honeymoon Bay beach. Calm, sandy and mostly deserted except on weekends. Some cruise ship tours come here but that is it. Last time we were there the only other people were the two guys stocking the bar for the weekend.

 

The website that covers this is a travel agent and not allowed on Cruise Critic. But you can do a search for Water Island.

 

Crown Bay is about 1 1/2 miles west of Charlotte Amalie shopping and a $5-6 truck-cab ride into town. There are other beaches and hotels over the ridge to the left of the port but it is a long walk. The port facility has pretty limited shopping and a lot of iguanas.

Is there a water taxi to Havensight from Crown Bay? I'm not liking this Crown Bay change from what I've read so far.:(

Celebrity is also now using Crown Bay.

Closest beach to Crown Bay is Emerald beach right in front of the airport. Best Western is there. We go to this beach all the time
