ArkTraveler82 Posted May 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've been reading threads about beaches to visit while in St Thomas and there are many references made to the closest beaches depending on which cruise port your ship is docked. Apparently there are 2 ports... Havensight and Crown Bay. How do you know which port your ship will dock at? We're cruising on the Oasis of the Seas and I've looked online at my cruise information but I've been unable to determine that particular piece of information. What am I missing that everyone else seems to know? :confused: TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted May 17, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2016 There are many sites that show where ships dock. Here is one site that has info. http://wico-vi.com/cruise-ship-dock/ship-schedule-port-availability There are others that post info months in advance. I'm sure someone will provide other links.

You can track down the local port information to find where you will be, but some just know from having been there that RCL's giants always dock at Crown Bay.

blue_water Posted May 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2016 cruisett is also a useful site for seeing how many other ships/people are in port with you and their scheduled arrival and departure times - just search by the port you're looking at and date and you can select the different ships to see their schedules and the number of folks they are delivering. www.cruisett.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted May 18, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We'd much rather dock at Crown Bay. :) Hi LuLu, I like the CB area better because it's less crowded. But I like being able to walk back to the ship from Paradise Point or another place near Havensight after a beach day too...and I like not going through town to get to Sapphire or Lindqvist... What is it you like about docking at Crown versus Havensight? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare luvseaside Posted May 25, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Like others have said, Crown Bay is likely where the ship will be. Although I thought the same thing with the Royal Princess in Feb 2015 and woke to see we were at Havensight ...with the Regal! Luckily, I had done so much research on which beaches to visit, I was able to change our planned destination quickly, and we went to Sapphire Beach. So it may be worthy to have a Plan B in your back pocket. But Oasis is so big, it's a 99% chance you'll be at Crown Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted May 25, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Two NCCL ships -- Oasis & Allure -- always dock at Crown Bay. Because of their size, they are not able to dock else where. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeygal54 Posted June 5, 2016 #15 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Can't find where the Regal will dock mid November. I was on the Royal late Feb and not sure where we docked! Had to take a bus to get to downtown area and there was another Port area across from the downtown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amagamma Posted June 5, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Does anyone know which dock the Anthem of the Seas docks at? Looked at the link and it really doesn't say which dock. Looking at Nov. 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted June 6, 2016 #17 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Ama: The last time it was here was in April and it was listed at West Indian Dock, or Havensight. The new schedule isn't out yet, so can't tell for sure. Maybe you can check later in the summer on the vinow website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samzgirl84 Posted June 15, 2016 #19 Share Posted June 15, 2016 We will be in St Thomas on November 3, 2016, on the Serenade of the seas (a smaller Radiance class ship). Will we be docked at Havensight or Crown Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candydane Posted June 15, 2016 #20 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Princess and HAl HAVE Llong TERM COTRACTS TO DOCK AT C rownbay [LB] We'll be on the Royal Princess on March 23, 2017. We'll be the only ship in St. Thomas that day. So we'll dock at Crownbay? I couldn't tell from any of the ship schedule websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted June 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The schedule at vinow only goes out a few months. You might check back about 2-3 months before your cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
