Questions

I have a couple questions for all of you. My friends and I (all of us are 18 and female) are going to St. Thomas on the Caribbean Princess. We were wondering what cheap/inexpensive things are there to do in St. Thomas? Also what is the drinking age here? Thanks!

The drinking age is 18 in the USVI.

Tram to Paradise Point and the bar is only $15 and right at the ship dock.

Nothing is really cheap in St Thomas. Assuming that the ship docks at Havensight, which it probably does, there is plenty of shops to window shop, bars to bar hop. But coming to St Thomas I would want to go to a beach; all of which require a taxi to get to and from. Taxi's are not cheap and charge per person each way. If you have a large enough group haggling with the driver might help. The closest beach (5 minutes by cab) and least cab fare would be MorningStar, but the beach is part of a resort so the bars/restaurants are a little more expensive. Another close beach is Bolongo where there is a beach bar called Iggies wihich caters to the locals and would be more in your price range. neither one of these beaches is the "best" in St thomas although they are going to be better then any beach from where you likely come from.

The Paradise Point tramway is great, (fantastic views) but you will be bored in an hour, drinking or not. You can actually save money by taking a taxi up to the top of the tramway and back, instead of the actual tramway. Spending the $15 roundtrip for the tramway is TOO much for your young budget.

I was 18 once myself....and I live in St Thomas....
