$30. 

I've done it several times as recently as last weekend . It's incredibly easy. The Brightline station is an 8 min drive from PoM. Trains leave regularly and the ride is 30 min. The Brightline FLL station is an 11 min ride to FLL. 

Take the Brightline train. Or TriRail. 

Thank you all very much

I booked yesterday and saw the 1GB data limit

I just booked a February cruise on Encore in a studio. I haven’t sailed NCL in years, and am looking for answers to a few questions. I may not have all the NCL lingo / branding correct. Thanks. 

1. Dining Package. I’ve purchased one, but see prices on the menu.  😳 How does this work?

2. Is there a pass to the thermal suite and how much is it?

3. The studio lounge appears to have a coffee machine. Is it free or charge?

4. Can the tv in the studio cabin be repositioned?

5. Is the ultimate WiFi really better than regular wifi?  Is there a tangible difference in speed?

--Grab a Taxi at the dock in St. Thomas to Red Hook - approx cost $10pp one way

--Hop on the Red Hook Ferry to Cruz Bay - and the cost is $8.25pp one way

I don't see them. 

That's the same answer I received from Kenneth at C&A. I'm calling back to see if I get a different answer. 

So yes, Havensight / WICO is within walking distance of the Paradise Point base station., but Crown Bay is not far away - just a 10 min tax ride, which is easily done. 

I stay in STJ once or twice a year. Your best options are as follows: 

> Trunk: Beautiful beach with decent snorkeling. Rentals and food available. Taxis readily available ($6pp one way IIRC). 

> Honeymoon. Nice beach with good snorkeling. Rentals and food available.Can hike in from Cruz Bay, 

> Cinnamon. Beautiful beach with good snorkeling. No rentals or food available. Taxis readily available to get there from Cruz Bay, but harder to find to return. ($7pp one way IIRC). 

> Maho. Nice beach with good snorkeling if you want to see turtles. Rentals and food available. Taxis readily available to get there from Cruz Bay, but harder to find to return. ($8pp one way IIRC). 

It all depends on whose metal you're flying. If you'e actually flying on a BA plane, you're not going to be able to see those seats on AA.com.

There is a ferry between Crown and Cruz Bays. Starting 10/31, it leaves Cruz Bay daily at 11 a.m. and at 4:15 p.m. It leaves from the Crown Bay Marina daily at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Likely not useful for you.

And with this, Cruise Critic has truly outlived its usefulness

Just stream it on the HBO NOW app

Unfortunately, no - that does not leave you enough time. I'm assuming you're a UK citizen coming from the UK. Assuming your flight arrives on time, 90 minutes is not enough to clear passport control, get your checked bags, and go back through security and board the flight to MIA. Stay the night in MCO and get the 10am AA flight to MIA on 21 April. There's an 821am flight, but it's very expensive.

The alternative would be to fly Saturday night from MCO to FLL, stay overnight in FLL. then get to PoM Sunday morning.

Are taxis easy to find back from Trunk Bay?  Is the food truck the only choice for food and drink at Trunk Bay?

Yes to both questions.

You will emerge from Trunk and exit past the ranger booth. Often, there are taxis parked to the left and to the right. The taxis to the left are usually for people who specifically booked cruise ship excursions. The taxis to the right are for general use. You may have to wait a bit until the taxi fills up. Just ask. You really can't go wrong.

As far as food goes, you could walk to North Shore Deli at Mongoose Junction and get sandwiches prior to departing for Trunk, but then you'd have to double back to the ferry dock to get a taxi, and you may have to wait to find someone to take you to Trunk.

Total Cost: $84.60

Taxi from Havensight to Red Hook is $13pp one way. Ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay. Ferries leave on the hour. Cost is $8.15pp one way. Taxi from Cruz to Trunk Bay is $6pp one way.

The ship excursion is convenient, but costs more and reduces your flexibility, especially since you are in port so late.

DIY. Spend the afternoon at at Trunk then stop in Cruz Bay for happy hour before going back to STT and the ship.

Ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay is $8.15pp.

Taxi from Cruz to Trunk is $6pp

Not on Pullman or Turbus. You have to change at Alameda Station.

Is this food truck at Trunk Bay?  I was wondering if there was any kind of food or drinks there.

Yes - there;s a food truck and a bar. News of St John posted an update on this today.

> It will be tough for you to make the 9am ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay.

> If you have time before the 10am ferry leaves, walk across the street to Moe's Fresh Market and buy drinks / snacks.

> When you disembark the ferry in Cruz Bay, approach the taxi "loader" and let me know you'd like to go to Trunk Bay. > As an alternative to Trunk, consider Honeymoon Bay. You can hike in or take a zodiac from Cruz Bay.

>  You should arrive at Trunk by 10:45am.

> At Christmas, the NPS was not staffed, so there was no need to pay the entry fee.

> The bar and food truck accept credit cards.

> For the return trip from Trunk to Cruz Bay, don't expect to just jump in a taxi and go. The driver will wait to fill the taxi.

> To make a 530pm all aboard, the absolute latest ferry you can take departing Cruz Bay is 4pm. There will be traffic as you get closer to Charlotte Amalie.

Crown Bay to Red Hook Taxi: I believe the cost is $15pp.

Red Hook to Cruz Bay Ferry: I know the cost is $8.15pp. I think the threshold to use a credit card is $16.

Cruz Bay to Trunk Bay Taxi: I know the cost is $6pp.

I spent 2 weeks on STJ at Christmas. These beaches are the best options that fit your criteria. Keep in mind that you have to hike into Honeymoon, or take the zodiac ride from Cruz Bay.

Shade can be tough to come by, especially if you aren't on the beach early, but generally you can find some as provided you are flexible on location.

Based on your criteria, I'd give a slight advantage to Honeymoon. I found it to have a bit more shade, and slightly better food offerings.
