St. Thomas cruise port guide! We skipped the cruise excursion in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands and did Brewers Beach, Charlotte Amalie, local food, shopping, and the Skyride on our own. In this video, we show exactly how we spent our cruise port day in St. Thomas without booking an expensive shore excursion. We grabbed a taxi from the cruise port, headed to a beach most cruisers skip, went snorkeling, saw a sea turtle and a spotted eagle ray, then explored historic Charlotte Amalie for local food, drinks, shopping, rum, and island history. We also visit Gladys’ Café, Greengo’s Caribbean Cantina, a local street market, the Fort Christian area, and finish the day with the Skyride up to Paradise Point for one of the best views in St. Thomas. If you’re cruising to St. Thomas and wondering whether you can do this port on your own, how much it costs, or whether it’s worth skipping the cruise excursion, this video breaks down our full self-guided day and every major cost along the way. Have you been to St. Thomas before? Would you book an excursion or try this port on your own?
