We did stay on STT in July. There was a/c available, but we didn't use it. The tradewinds & a fan were plenty to be cool enough. We were really only at the villa in the morning and late afternoon/early evening.

Thanks! It got longer than I expected, but didn't want to miss anything! minde - I wish the rest of my snorkel pics turned out like that one from Coki - it must have been because it was shallow enough. We really wanted to get to Vie's, but it was tough with the roads being wet - even had a little tr...

Finally….completed our trip report! My husband talked me into a vacation in St. Thomas for this summer. We also took my 17 yo daughter with us. I had visited there with my parents when I was a teenager and had always wanted to return. We ended up renting a villa at Point Pleasant through VRBO. We di...

We just returned this past Wed. from a week's stay in STT and rented from Discount. We had a Jeep Liberty - a little on the older side with 20000 miles, but worked out fine for 2 day trips to STJ. Our non-stop flight there was delayed by 2 hrs. Luckily, I had called before we took off because we wer...

Any updates on the car barges for this week? We will be staying on STT starting tomorrow and want to visit STJ on 2 days. Which type of days might be our best options - weekdays or weekend days?

Thanks! :D

Thanks for the replies! We are renting a villa, so won't have an activities desk for guidance. We'll just see what we can find when we get there.

I will attempt a trip report after we return, but it is hard to do anything near as well written as many of the folks on here!

Cruise ship impact questions - STT & STJ

We are heading to STT for a week stay starting 7/15 and plan on also heading over to STJ for 2 days to explore and snorkel. I have found current cruise ship schedules and have seen the busiest day as having three ships during our stay. How long do they usually stay in port and how long are the passe...
