SimonaD Posted October 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2018 There are two possible docking areas. Last time we were there (pre-hurricane) there was the little train, for a fee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted October 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2018 No free shuttle/Princess supplied shuttle to town from Havensight or Crown Bay that I have ever seen. We walked from Havensight last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadarocks Posted October 3, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks. DH will be using a Rollator and I'm trying to figure out whether to book a Princess tour or an independent one. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you are not mixing St Thomas up with another Caribbean port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted October 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I may be wrong, but I've never seen a free shuttle anywhere to anyplace in St. Thomas by any line I've been on ( Royal, Princess, NCL, Carnival, MSC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted October 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks. DH will be using a Rollator and I'm trying to figure out whether to book a Princess tour or an independent one. :confused: Princess docked at Havensight last season and maybe the season before. Search "st thomas taxi photos" and you will see the kind of taxis available in St. Thomas. It's not easy to get in and out of them. But you can ask to sit in the cab. Taxis at the port can take you to the popular areas like Megan's Bay. Pretty sure Princess tours use the same kind of transportation, so make sure you read the tour description regarding access, number of steps, stairs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonaD Posted October 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Are you sure you are not mixing St Thomas up with another Caribbean port? Nope. I have a store that carries my jewelry line in st thomas, so I was happy to see the little train from port terminated at that shopping center. Pretty hard to forget. But, like I said, this was pre-hurricane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure whether he can walk the extra-long distance it takes sometimes to get to independent tours. We haven't done one from Havensight.... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoRoy218 Posted October 3, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Are you sure you are not mixing St Thomas up with another Caribbean port? There is another port to the left of town (can’t remember name) with just a few berths. As mentioned above, it does have the usual Caribbean shops right at the dock. We took a tram-type vehicle to the shopping area, reasonable and was sitting waiting as we got off the ship. It wasn’t very far, perhaps 2-3 miles along the waterfront.

We have been there many times and don't recall seeing a train type shuttle. But that does not mean it didn't exist. We always walked to town and I never looked for a shuttle. :) The other dock Crown Bay......Princess had a 10 year lease on which since expired.

skynight Posted October 3, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Are you sure you are not mixing St Thomas up with another Caribbean port? Crown Bay had a train like shuttle that brought you from the ship to the small pier side shopping area and the the taxi pick up area. It does not go to downtown Charlotte Amalia.

floridalover5623 Posted October 3, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2018 At Havensight they do have a free shuttle which only goes from the ship to the stores in that complex. The shuttle which goes downtown I believe charges $8 one way. It could be more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatour Posted October 4, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 4, 2018 There are two docking area on St Thomas Havensight: You can see downtown from there. It has its own shopping district Crown Bay. It is to the left behind a hill. Royal Carribbean is using it. Not sure if it an exclusive contract. It has a small shopping district. Both places have taxis to the main downtown shopping district.
