Extra time ideas?

[RedB]

We are debating ziplining in St. Thomas on our upcoming Escape cruise. The problem is the excursion would have us back to the boat by noon on our longest port day. Any ideas on what else we could do with the rest of the afternoon? Ship is scheduled to be in port till 6.

I was wondering this too! Is there a beach within walking distance? I know the port has shops and such, but was wondering about other options. The Skyride to Paradise Point is fun, we did that a long time ago, wouldn't mind doing it again. But it's $21 per person on top of what you're already paying for the morning excursion!!

There is a beach within walking distance of Royal Caribbean/Celebrity ships - Emerald Beach.

 

There's a new beach bar, Lanai, at Bluebeard's Beach Club, that should be a $6 taxi ride per person and beach chairs are free. Morningstar at the Marriott is also about the same fare.

 

No entry fee to beaches mentioned.

There's also a new shipwreck/pirate museum near the Norwegian dock that's not quite finished but is free for now and pretty cool. Great pirate gift shop.
