Creator's Key Takeaways

One thing we've learned after visiting many cruise ports is that some of our favorite days have happened when we simply go with the flow.

It was exactly what we wanted. casual, convenient, reasonably priced without committing to an expensive beach package.

Sometimes you end up exactly where you're supposed to be.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider joining your sailing Facebook group before you cruise to organize shared taxis.
Bring your own floaty to save money and enhance your beach day.
Be aware that St. Thomas taxis are often shared and may make additional stops for other passengers.
