ctbjr1309 Posted September 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Where exactly does SD handle embarkation in Saint Thomas? Also, for San Juan where does SD disembark? Trying to look at hotel bookings this week for an upcoming sail. STT is at Crown Bay which is no more than a 10 minute drive from airport. SJU is right downtown across the street from the Sheraton Old San Juan and maybe 20 minutes from airport.

TrapperZimmy Posted October 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This past winter there was no place to stay in STT because of the hurricane. Consequently, we flew in the day of the cruise and it was a short hop to the boat. Have no idea what the current hotel situation is, but be wary. Some properties may not be places you want to stay.

sugarbird Posted October 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2018 We are on a cruise that ends in St. Thomas this February--what time can we be off the ship and on our way to the airport. Jet Blue has a 10:38AM--I am assuming I cannot make this flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katbird93 Posted October 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Where exactly does SD handle embarkation in Saint Thomas? Also, for San Juan where does SD disembark? Trying to look at hotel bookings this week for an upcoming sail. We have stayed at At Home In The Tropics in St. Thomas precruise, a beautiful B & B. Very nice and great owners. We stayed at Mafolie last year after the hurricanes. Even without hurricane damage, this hotel needs a huge facelift. Don't recommend it. We are staying this year at Doubletree in San Juan, we got a great rate. After the cruise, we will be staying in St. John for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mrs_Tiki Posted October 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Which sailing are you considering? We are on March 2 on SDI embarking in STT and disembarking in SJU. Would love it if you are sailing with us! BTW, if "OKC" is what I think it is, I was born at St. Anthony's Hospital!

Thanks--but--I owned a home on St. John for 38 years--sold it in August, 2017--just before the hurricane--house survived ok. Also we are staying on St. John before the cruise.

JES4845 Posted October 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 7, 2018 We are on a cruise that ends in St. Thomas this February--what time can we be off the ship and on our way to the airport. Jet Blue has a 10:38AM--I am assuming I cannot make this flight. Usually one can depart the ship by 8 AM - sometimes earlier but no guarantees - it could also be later than 8 AM but not often in our experience. As noted by others, the airport is only 10-15 minutes from the port SD uses in STT. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarbird Posted November 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 19, 2018 We lived since 1995 in Boatman Point on Rendezvous Bay !! Great spot!! Before that we had a place on Reef Bay but lost that in Hurricane Marilyn in 1995. That house was wood--our last one was cinder block and concrete--it has been through 4 category 5's. So you know "Skinny Legs" and and "Sloop Jones". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes know both :) Our house is also wood - came through Marilyn, Hugo, Irma and Maria OK (lots of spirit guides looking out for us and a huge amount of luck). We live next to Midori Buchannan's old house (8 mile marker on Centerline) but she sold 2 months before Irma and unfortunately it was wiped out in Irma down to the foundation.
