Cruise ships

Post by Need2GetAway »

I'm having a slow day at work, so I decided it might be time to start pestering everyone with what is likely to be an annoying number of inquiries for our April trip. ;)

Here's the first one to come to mind:
We will be in St. John during the busy Easter week. How does one know when Trunk Bay or Cruz Bay might be loaded with cruise ships? Is there a big schedule written someplace (lol)?

Thanks!!!

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

This sounds obvious to us, but I'm not sure how much the OP knows about STJ. In your post it sounds like you are asking what cruise ships will be in Trunk Bay or Cruz Bay. Cruise ships don't dock at St. John.
What you will be concerned with is when/how many ships are docked at St. Thomas because a lot of people will take day trips over to St. John. Hope that helps~

You can also reference this site in early April to see which ships will be docked in STT.

I ususally visit Trunk Bay once every trip and make it on a day that there are no ships in at St. Thomas.

Amen to that! A TrunkDay can be ruined by the "Hordes"

Sometimes, the "Yellow Jackets" or "Bees" are fun to watch...
