where the cruise ship docks

[Piatt1011]

I was wondering how I could find out exactly where my Carnival Cruise will dock at for St. Thomas and if I wanted to find out where on the rest of our stops where would I go to figure out this information? I have not been able to locate it on the Carnival Website.

I just emailed that exact question to carnival this morning since I need to know that to use an independent scuba shop. I'll update you if I get a response the last question I sent only took a day.

That's a great site! Now I can see what other ships will be in port, however I don't see which dock it will be in, I see from the scuba shop they can be in Havensight/West Indian or Crown Bay.

The Havensight dock can accomodate 3 ships. So if there are 3 ships in town you'll be at Havensight.

 

If there are 4 ships in town and one of them is a Princess ship you'll more than likely dock at Havensight since Princess uses Crown Bay.

 

I'm not sure what happens for any other possible conditions. :o

Carnival usually docks at Havensight, which, IMHO is a much better location than Crown Bay. You'll find plenty of shopping there and it's a short taxi ride to Charlotte Amalie.

Thanks so much for the information. That helps me a ton on where they are docking at. I am going to be on Carnival so it will probably be Havensight then.

 

Oh and the porttime.com is a great website. I found out that there will be like 3 ships in on the same day. Does the island get very crowed very easily with that many ships? we are docking at 10am and not leaving until 8pm so we have a pretty open day.

3 ships in town is not bad. You pretty much have you pick of beaches to head to with just 3 ships there.

 

There can be as many as 7 ships in town. :eek: So, 3 will just be fine. :)
