Rare KarmaCruisers Posted October 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2021 so we’re on the Sky Princess next month..from what I can tell; it’s docking at Havensight. Were planning on a beach day at Water Island (Honeymoon Beach). I know we have to take off from Tickles Bar (Crown Bay) what’s the recommended mode of transportation from the two docks; for two people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted October 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Never can tell where you'll actually dock until you get there. Once, several years ago we docked in town (almost never any longer done) at the last minute. The best way to get to where you want to be is by taxi. Enjoy!

Yes Princess usually docks at Havensight, I don’t see her on the schedule but that doesn’t mean anything… As O said you just hop a taxi going to Crown Bay and take the small ferry over. When you arrive you may be greeted by a gal who gives free rides (for tips) to Dinghy’s. Sometimes you can also rent a golf cart. If there is a ship at Crown Bay Honeymoon beach may be pretty crowded… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted October 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2021 One note, if you do go to WI on the small ferry you will find more people lined up for the return than the ferry holds so if you want to hit Tickle’s or any shopping in CB don’t wait until too late to ferry back. And we’ve only been to WI while staying on STT and we always had to go to the office to get ferry tokens. So I wonder if the ship excursions desk has them available? I’ve never gotten an answer to that question for some reason…🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csj092809 Posted November 30, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2021 You pay cash to the ferry captain to go to Water Island. No tokens, no going to marina office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure. I have lived here since 2013 and never used a token or gone to the office. Always paid cash to ferry driver. I will ask around and find out!

When we arrived we waited for the ferry and the captain informed us we needed to get tokens from the office on the other side of the parking lot. So we walked over and upstairs to get tokens and of course we had to wait for the ferry again… I looked up when we were there and it was 2015… I thought maybe the cruise ship excursion desk offered tokens to passengers to save them that hassle… But it is odd huh? 🤷🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinasmom Posted October 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Saw a fairly recent vlog of a couple who took this water taxi to WI for $15... is that each way? Also, looks like we'll need to grab a Taxi from Havensight... any idea what that SHOULD cost? Thanks!! Marcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted October 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I kind of remember when they took tokens for a short period, but I can't remember why. It may have had something to do with the concession contract negotiation. I checked the fare about two months ago and was told it was $10 per person each way. The fare should be posted on other websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outta My Work Clothes Posted November 15, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 15, 2022 So have been to STT a couple of times and went to STJ by ferry. The trip to Water Island sounds like fun, but since our ship leaves at 4PM, am a lil worried bout getting a ferry back. Since we'd prolly need to be on a 2PM ferry back, don't think too many people would be returning that early... Any helpful comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
