I went last week on my Wonder of the Seas cruise and it was fun! We ported at Crown Bay, so it was a quick walk to the Crown Bay marina to catch the water taxi. This video helped me decide to do it!

We were in St Thomas on Vision of the Seas & went to Water Island about 3 days after you guys were there. Great inexpensive, easy day especially if you’re on a Royal Caribbean or Celebrity ship already docked at Crown Bay. Plus you get there earlier than the people docked at Havensight and get first dibs on the good chairs!
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 4 года назад
It's so convenient from Crown Bay! We're slated to be back in St. Thomas via Norwegian in December, and we'll probably be at Crown Bay. Might just have to hop over to Water Island again since we're right there!! :P

Just so your aware, the water island ferry is about the only thing in the Caribbean that doesn't run on island time. 8 o'clock departure means 8 o'clock. The only possible exception would be on real busy ship days like the day you were there. If the line is at capacity before the scheduled time and more people are coming they will run early and then come back for an extra run. If your there on a no ship day do not be even 30 seconds late or you will miss it. Glad you enjoyed our island
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 4 года назад
Gotcha! Having three ships in must have altered the schedule a bit with some extra runs. We showed up eight minutes late for the 10:00am departure thinking we had missed it, and he was just pulling back into the Crown Bay side as we arrived. We ended up pulling out at 10:20am to head to Water Island. I imagine on non-ship days, it's a lot less hectic. We've been looking to possibly stay a week on St. Thomas to give more time to explore the island, maybe check out St. John, and see more than we can on a typical cruise stop!! :D

We ported in St Thomas last November and did a snorkel excursions. After we were done we went over to a Cove for some lunch and advertised "swimming". So as I watch this vlog I discover we were at Honeymoon beach. They did not advertise this as a turtle location. We missed them 😢. Next time I will know to always have the mask at the ready. Thanks for all the info you provide.

St. Thomas looks so different now. We were there the April after the hurricanes and all the trees were still stripped bare and a lot of damage. Looking good Charlotte Amalie. We'll have to try Water Islsnd next time! Did you get any stings from the micro jellys? We couldn't figure out why our skin was feeling prickly at Magens Bay, but apparently they were micro jellys
@parodeejay

They've bounced back a good bit since the last big storm for sure. We visited the butterfly garden one time right at the port, which is no longer there sadly. No issues with jellyfish though... yow!!

So strange Princess docked at Crown Bay when I sailed on them. Looks like Royal Caribbean bought that pier from Carnival. That's the only pier that can handle the Oasis class.
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 4 года назад
Interesting! I just assumed it was mostly a Carnival Corp split versus other lines. Carnival hits Havensight, and everyone else gets Crown Bay, but maybe not. Crown Bay would be much more convenient to get to Water Island, which is what we're hoping for then we get back to St. Thomas in December via Norwegian, fingers crossed!!
@alk61695
@alk61695 4 года назад
I think Carnival Corp used to send Princess, Holland and Costa to Crown Bay while regular Carnival went to Haven. Norwegian docks at Haven. Some Royal/Celebrity still dock at Haven as well.
