One in the same.

I think only the massive RCI ship doesn't dock at the above mentioned port.

The OP was probably asking whether Escape docks at Havensight (it does) or Crown Bay (it doesn't).

Other ships can dock at Crown Bay but the Oasis class has priority since they can't dock at Havensight.

I'm so glad I saw this thread!! I really want to do a Snorkel Excursion with the Fury Charter that docks in Yacht Haven Grande and I read somewhere that the Escape docks in Crown Bay. Docking at 8am with an 8:30am snorkel tour at the other dock would have been almost impossible. I'm so excited to hear that we can just walk to this tour now! Turtles, here I come!!

We went with them last year, it was great.

RCI and Princess both use Crown Bay - we were docked there when we cruised aboard both the Oasis of the Seas and the Emerald Princess.

Charlotte Amalie is the town. There are two cruise piers there, Havensight and Crown Bay.

This picture shows Havensight in the foreground. If you look straight toward the top of the picture between the back two ships you can see two more cruise liners docked at Crown Bay.

 

Certain lines always use Crown Bay, others never use it, NCL docks at Havensight.

You should try and get to St John. It was beautiful. There is a guy who makes the Hook bracelet.

I looked into the Snorkel Excursion and it does look great. However, if the Escape docks at 8 and the tour leaves at 8:30, isn't it cutting it short? Is it possible that the Escape arrives later than 8?

I am concerned about that as well. I'm going to email the charter company and get their thoughts on what would happen if we docked late, or it takes too long to disembark. Honestly, I'm willing to take the risk and lose out on the money. This cruise is for my 40th birthday!!

FYI: We were in St. Thomas last Dec, 2015 on the ESCAPE. Our sailing excursion time was 8:30. I, too was worried we wouldn't make it across the island to board by 8:30am. The owner of excursion assured me that they would wait. They have been in business for years and are very used to working with all the cruise lines. We used the taxi recommended by the Nightwinds excursion company. We sent an e-mail, and received a confirmation from the taxi company. We got off the ship as soon as allowed, and our driver was standing there waiting for us, holding a chalkboard with our name. There were 15 of us from the ship, and we all boarded and were on the road in minutes. We arrived in a timely manner, and boarded the sailboat. He had us back to the marina in plenty of time. And he called our taxi (van) driver to let him know as we were sailing back in to the marina. He was waiting for us when we arrived. We were back to the ship long before we needed to be.
