  1. Very easy I've caught more taxi's at Crown Bay than I have at Havensight no worries either pier. I've said this for DECADES St. Thomas has THE BEST taxi drivers EVER. Very nice(always), they're just nice people trying to make it just like the rest of us. If you ask them a question and they smile REAL BIG at you That means get in SIT DOWN STFU they got you covered. Works every time. 15 minutes later your sitting on the right beach.๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž Bye bye have fun.
  2. Smart!!๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
  3. Oh God. 10K passenger and another hmmmm 4K crew members. I'd get off the island and take the ferry to St. John Trunk Bay. I couldn't do that last time because St. John was closed so I went to Secret Harbor. So should you.
  4. Good grief brilliant minds certainly do think alike.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Secret Harbor. I gotcha, here goes it. Catch a safari van I did, straight to Secret Harbor. 15 minutes max from Havensight. I was there on simply a cruise ship visit I didn't even see a pool didn't need a day pass, walked down there acting like I owed the place. Went up to the Sunset Grille started a tab started drinking and the rest of the day was GREAT!! Lot's of nice people no problems very quiet GREAT BAR!! Nice water, swim out to the platform and lay out on it, it's nice out there. Oh yeah I think between Crown Bay and Havensight 5 ships were in port, thousands going to Magens Bay THOUSANDS!!!๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ We went right๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž to Secret Harbor.๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Great Day. Another thing Secret Harbor needs to stay SECRET. Everybody is finding out about it, thanks to all the idiots ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ online going on and on and on about how nice and quiet it is. Go early start a bar tab find you a spot have fun and chill the rest of the day. Simple Math.๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

    I can answer that. Where your taxi or bus drops you on the sidewalk behind Amsterdam Manor you can push a stroller on the sidewalk and down the ramp to the sand not the beach. I'm not real certain you can push a stroller through that type of sand, but you can get down there easy. When you get there this is just a suggestion in the right direction, go right towards Passions Beach Bar, rent chairs and a palapa go right down a bit it's not far it's just away from then pedestrian traffic coming on to Eagle Beach. Don't just grab the first empty palapa, pick a nice one in the middle close to the beach and Passions. You'll figure it out, but go about 3 rows past Passions and plant it right there, your good to go. Big beach open beach, bar and restaurant right behind you, water is awesome. Great vibe nice people no BS. Have fun.
  6. That's exactly like it was before but newer. Nice!! It looks great. New menu board and more lunch options. Trunk Bay bar it works, it's simple but works. They'll sell buckets of beers too. I didn't have a bucket but I had a backpack cooler that worked great. Its nice out there. Thanks for the pics Ms411.
  7. Your welcome. Have fun.๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
  8. Yes right across the street from the port. Walk up to the ticket counter and tell the lady where your going and she'll sell you a bus ticket and show you exactly what bus to hop on. No worries.
  9. I haven't been there after covid either. I was hoping the Parks Service would do the same with Magens Bay and Trunk Bay maybe put in some types of eatery restaurants and bars that would be up to par with the bay. I've looked for the last couple of year's for new pictures of the restaurant and bar and Trunk Bay post covid and haven't found anything. Thank you
  10. The bar is the bomb!! Looks like an awesome vibe and atmosphere. They did that up right. Thanks.
  11. You get off the bus at the Eagle Beach bus stop right behind Amsterdam Manor just tell the bus driver you want off at Eagle Beach no worries. Chairs and palapa rental right down the ramp on the beach. It's all there. ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

    Yes, yes, yes and yes. First trip to Aruba? Going to Eagle Beach..... only way to go. Nice!! When you walk out of the security area at the pier they'll be local guides selling tours you tell them you and your family need a taxi to Eagle Beach. They'll hook you right up, you'll be on Eagle Beach GREAT family beach in less than 15 minutes. Taxi's are very safe even though I take the city bus to Eagle. Nice taxi van for everyone to fit in. You can work out a deal coming and going. Plenty of taxi's bus stop is right there. No worries getting back to the ship, Eagle Beach is not far from the pier. Passions Beach Bar, best grilled chicken panini with goat cheese sandwich and seasoned fries I've ever eaten in my life. Great bar great food and drinks nice people. You'll go back. Have fun.
  14. $25?? That's SO AWESOME!! Beers look yummy and the tumbler set is sweet. That's nice dude! That's why I could never live down there, I'd be my own best customer. Those craft beers looked lovely. Thanks
  15. Hey Ms411 you mentioned the Parks Service looking for a new vendor for chair rentals. What's the status of the restaurant and bar at Trunk Bay? I've had difficulty finding pictures of the new setup out there. I thought the previous setup was fine, it's just gotten so busy at Trunk I thought the Parks Service might have added on or put something else at Trunk. Thank you
  16. I'd be happy to elaborate Palm Beach on Aruba SUCKS!!
  17. Toad take Ms411 advice, they're may be some walking involved, Plan B. Taphus and the 99 steps. Forget the Sky Ride to Paradise Point and drink Bushwhackers.๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ™„ Plan B!!!
  18. Btw that looked like one helluva Halloween Party!! "Fall themed" beer, you guys are KILLING ME!! I've never heard of something so AWESOME. "Fall themed" beer on St. Thomas, oh boy here we go.๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ I can come down next October๐Ÿ˜Ž and rent a condo or something along those lines and stay a month. In the event I can't find a cruise for next fall. I would never come down and stay 2 or 3 weeks, 2 weeks just piss me off. A month maybe 60 days, that'll get cobwebs out anyway. There's many islands I've been to but I'm not sure I would want to stay on one or at least not for a few weeks that's for sure. St. Thomas ain't like that, I could go and stay there for weeks mind my own business do my own thing and the rest is nothing but chillin and nothing but fun. St. Thomas your home, I am anyway and I don't feel like that on really any other island. For example when I get off the ship say in Grenada I feel like s--t every time. San Juan Puerto Rico I get off the ship I'm instantly nauseous, I take one look Pepto time.๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ Thank you
  19. Btw Cap's Place I've walked by there several times and went in there and bought a brewski back in 2013. I know exactly where it is right behind Cruz Bay going left . Thanks for all the pictures. POST MORE, Thanks.
  20. OMG that place is AWESOME!! How beautiful is THAT!! The perfect Caribbean bar. Damn that's nice!! I'd keep it simple Ms411 Taphus to Windmill Bar and back and forth. Right and back and forth and so on and so forth and on and on and on and on. Well we all know now St. Thomas and STJ are not short of great watering holes. Really nice one's too. Ms411 thank you for the pictures. Taphus is simply beautiful.
  21. New rum from Cardows NICE!! I guess everybody's jumping on some type of rum, vodka or bourbon bandwagon. That's ok we'll drink it. Sounds yummy!!
  22. Mamajuana I've never heard of that, sounds wonderful!! Yep that's right up my alley. I want one right now.๐Ÿ˜„ What do they do Ms411 drop a couple of big buds into the blender and incorporate it into the drink like they do on Cooking with Weed on Netflix? Love that show. My sister tries to cook with weed I'm not sure she knows what she's doing so one way or another I end up smoking it all.๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ One quick question is the Rock City Beer good? Or was that another one of my stupid questions? Thanks Todd Do you have a favorite local craft beer that you think stands out from other craft beers. Thank you
  23. Which one has the good burgers and fries?? Frenchtown Brewery? Thank you. I'm writing all the names of these bars down you guys give me. I know where all the beaches are, I love going into new bars I'm unfamiliar with especially in the Caribbean. Yes it's alot of transportation that's why you go to Riise and by a bottle of Belvedere take your cup out of your softsided cooler with ice and make your own drinks between bars and beaches. Craft Beers are wonderful, but I'll take a Stella all day long for years and do. Thank you for the info.
  24. Damn!! That certainly is nice I don't believe I've ever read this before. It's helpful to someone old posting to the message boards. Thanks learn something new every day. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›๐ŸŒŸ
  25. Cosol or Herod. Google them. Best 2 tickets on St. Lucia for a full day Land and Sea Tour especially if this is your first visit to this island. I've done both of these a couple of times, it's no lose either way you go. These both are top shelf tours with excellent guides. Have fun.
