Creator's Key Takeaways

Stop! You don't need to spend a dime to enjoy the St Thomas Cruise Port.

We found a way to see the best of the island for FREE just by walking off the ship.

We had a great time. We saw so much more, did so much more than we would have done before.

Get off the ship as soon as you can. And go explore.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk from the cruise terminal to downtown for free.
Use shuttle buses or taxis for a small fee if walking isn't preferred.
Avoid paying for excursions without going through Princess first if arriving from Europe.
Schedule non-Princess excursions later in the day to avoid customs delays.
Explore the historic town and shops on your own for a DIY experience.
