dock at st.johns?

[bucocat]

Hi. We will be on the Norwegian Dawn on Nov 18. On sunday we are at St thomas and on Monday we are at St john. The schedule provided by ncl makes it look like these are two distinct ports. I have been reading on the internet and I saw that St johns does not have anywhere to dock. Ncl says we will be docking though The reason I am concerning about this is that my dad is in a wheelchair and can not do any tendering or ferry rides. Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks

I've always had to tender in at St John. Not aware that anything has changed.

Just checked your itinerary. Your second stop is St Johns, but St Johns, ANTIGUA, not St John, US Virgin Islands. There is a dock in Antigua.

 

"With its recently completed cruise ship dock and several hotels, St. John's is a lively hub for shopping and dining. "

Hi. Thanks for pointing this out to me. I never would have thought that were two st.john's.

 

Thanks

One is St John, USVI (singular) and the other is St Johns, Antigua (plural)

 

Plus the other St John(s) that are not in the Caribbean :)

Technically, the one in Antigua is St John's (possessive) :D

 

For grins I looked at the other ports of call and they all have docks/piers. Also suggested boards for where to ask questions about a specific port.

 

 

St Thomas - Dock - St Thomas

St John's - Dock - Antigua

Barbados - Dock - Barbados

St Maarten - Dock - St Martin (same island, different country)

Tortola - Dock - Caribbean Other
