Best duty free in St. Croix - help please

Hello folks,

Am taking the Splendor from San Juan to Miami on 01Nov. Wow, 5 new ports for me. Please let me know where the best place in St. Croix is for duty free smokes and alcohol. Also would like to maybe to check out the St. Croix hook bracelets. Thanks.

When we cruised there in 1999 and 2001, the ship docked in Frederiksted on one side of the island. Quite frankly, it's a shady part of the island. You have to take a taxi to Christiansted on the other side of the island for the better stores which are quite nice.

On those two cruises, on the nights we were there, the locals in Frederiksted held a carnival like street fair for the passengers. They had food vendors, hair braiding, stilt walkers, bands, etc. Not too many people were buying the food though. ;)

Hello,

KMart is your best bet for cigarettes. There are 2 on the island.

For alcohol, Plaza Extra (grocery store) and Kmart are fairly comparable.

For a steal on a hook bracelet, check out the Tropical Bracelet outlet in Christiansted. You'll need to take a taxi, its right downtown. A huge assortment and some deals. :) For something 100% unique, try Crucian Gold. More expensive, but each piece is hand made right in the store, its a family run business.

Thank you Stacy and Wolver. Great information and I sure appreciate. Thanks so much.
