What do in St Johns?St. Thomas?

[cruiseluver77]

We are sailing in a couple of weeks and I can't decide what to do. We will be in St Johns on Thursday, St Marten on Friday and then in St Thomas on Saturday. Where is the best shopping? The islands are all running together and I can't decide what to do where?!! I am looking for some diamond stud earrings and thats really all I am shopping for. Any help would be great!!

Just want to be sure you know that St. Johns is St. Johns, Antigua, British West Indies. You can find the message board for that port of call at

If you've never been there before, I'd do a three hour St. Thomas highlights tour in the morning, and do the beach in the afternoon. In my opinion, shopping is not that great in St. Thomas. Do your shopping in St. Martin (get off the ship and take a water taxi to downtown Phillipsburg) where there is a very nice waterfront area to eat, shop, and swim. Prices are much better here too.
