Re: St John Scoops

That sounds amazing! I would love an ice cream bar for my wedding in July. Not sure if they could do it with the weather.

Re: TROUBLE BREWING - Please help

Thanks for posting this! I received two emails in the past couple days from GCG offering a discount off published rates. I didn't really look into it too much but glad you posted. I'm not exactly sure how I got on their email list either.

Re: Say It Ain't So...

We fly down on Tuesday. If it passes on Monday, someone mentioned high surf and wind for the next couple days. Do the ferries ever not run because of this?

Re: Amalie car change in owners?

Thanks ladies for making me feel better. Glad to hear the service is still great. Did they contact you before you left to find out flight info? I booked this so long ago, I don't remember if I gave them my flight info.

Amalie car change in owners?

Hi everyone! We leave in less than two weeks for our first full trip to St John. We have reserved a jeep with Amalie car rental because of the amazing reviews. I read the other day on another forum that they have recently changed owners. Does anyone know if this is true? I emailed them two days ago ...

Stormy Petrel vs Bad Kitty

We are looking to book a trip to the baths and Jost Van Dyke when we are in St. John in August. Which company did people have a better experience with? Also has anyone done Stormy Petrel recently? I know Bad Kitty has their rates online but didn't know if Stormy Petrel's prices were similar. Thanks!

Re: Car Barge

Love City ferries has a website and you can make a reservation on there. They said they will also let you take the next ferry if you miss the one you made your reservation for. Since most of you haven't had a problem with a full ferry, we probably won't make a reservation. Thanks for the advice!
