Editorial Summary

The creators document a walking tour through Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands, after disembarking from their cruise ship. They begin by navigating past the Yacht Haven shopping area and walking toward the main part of town. The journey involves walking approximately a mile along various streets and through different shopping districts. The creators observe several landmarks, including the Rhonda Lugo Federal Building and a local fire station. Much of the tour focuses on the extensive retail landscape, highlighting areas like Drake's Passage and Palm Passage, which are filled with jewelry stores, clothing boutiques, and various specialty shops. While they note that some shops appear closed during their visit, they emphasize the abundance of shopping opportunities available to cruise passengers. The walk concludes with the creators navigating back toward their ship, the Norwegian Pearl, passing through the Yacht Haven mall and noting the proximity of name brand stores and ship sponsored shops to the pier.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We were there in April 2019.

We're gonna walk into the town ship right there got off walked here this is the Haven site shopping mall so they built this for the convenience of cruise ship passengers so they wouldn't have to walk into town but we're gonna walk into town.

It took us about 15 minutes to get this far I think we have another 10 minutes maybe stay left hotels up there town over there.

We could have ridden in for $4 each and probably back for four dollars each but we would not have gotten any exercise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk into town from the port to get exercise and see more.
Stay left when coming to the signal with hotels on the hill.
Check out the Yacht Haven area for a peaceful return to the ship.
