I have been reading several post and it seems cruise ships dock at either Crown Bay or Havensight. Correct me if I am wrong. Does anyone know where Carnival Cruises dock? Is it possible to walk from the dock to Charlotte Amalie. How long of a walk? Is there a path or sidewalk?

 

Can you also give any recommendations on historical points of interest in St. Thomas.

Carnival usually docks at Havensight which is also called WICO. It is about 1.5 miles to the town of Charlotte Amalie and is paved sidewalk all the way. Take the shortcut through Yacht Haven Grande.

 

Blackbeard's Castle tour is a great way to revisit history. Tickets may be sold on your ship, or you can purchase direct. Check their website for schedule.

The walk to town is flat, paved, and on the waterfront. Very easy.

 

The Historical Trust also runs walking tours:http://stthomashistoricaltrust.org/ There are some very interesting old buildings in town including the St Thomas Synagogue http://synagogue.vi/ , the second oldest in the western hemisphere.

 

Read Marriage of opposites by Alice Hoffman for insight into the synagogue. Check out the Pissarro gallery while you're there also.

You will dock at Crown Bay, cab is needed to reach downtown. If in shape about a 40 min. walk.

The Allied usually docks at Crown Bay which is about 3 miles west of the WICO dock and about 1.5 miles from town.

 

Historical Trust may not offer public tours this year. No volunteers signed up to lead.

 

Hey Ms, you are not allow to rename ships. :D

When you tendered where did they leave you at St Thomas? We may have a tender when we cruise. We want to know where we will be to figure out what we want to do.

It was at the tender dock in the heart of Charlotte Amalie.

Tenders ran back and forth to the ship all day.

The LAST tender was 30 minutes before sailing.

 

It's actually quite convenient for any without mobility issues.

Thank you for the helpful info. Even with the aggravation of the tenders at least you end up close to town.

You'll be more than just close. You will be in the "heart" of Charlotte Amalie.

Also, it was a very short tender ride. :)

It can be found at VI Now (the link itself will be blocked but google US Virgin Islands Docking). For your cruise, Carnival Splendor will dock at Havensight along with Disney Fantasy and Regal Princess. Allure of the Seas and Westerdam will also call on St. Thomas that day but be docked at Crown Bay.
