Rare CruzerDeb Posted August 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Received an email late yesterday that my Carnival shore excursion in St. Thomas was cancelled. Looking for something new today, and my excursion is still there, but it's $18/pp more expensive! Really? Read updated reviews and I guess I'm not interested in it anymore anyway. Just find that incredibly odd. Now, I'm back to the "What in the world will we do in St. Thomas" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed when looking at shore excursions for my booked cruises that every time I look there seems to be something new there. I guess they're constantly changing.

Rare CruzerDeb Posted August 5, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted August 5, 2016 My husband would NEVER say "go jewelry shopping". Or any other kind of shopping for that matter. The time of the excursion changed plus they added lunch, which explains the price increase. Lunch with no drinks available, according to recent reviews. No thanks.

winddawn Posted August 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Those reviews are really helpful. If most of the reviewers don't seem to like the excursion, it probably isn't worth your money. Hope you find something you like. I can see how that might irritate me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a beach day easy to do on your own and will save money as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruzerDeb Posted August 5, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If you want a beach day easy to do on your own and will save money as well. Which beach would you recommend? We'd want facilities (restrooms, of course) and food/beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winddawn Posted August 5, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Thanks winddawn! You are very welcome. Megen's Bay has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And you can catch a taxi there from the port. It will probably be a van full of people though. Enjoy your day in paradise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphin2012 Posted August 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2016 We did a Carnival excursion that was a beach and snorkel trip from St Thomas to St John. It was so beautiful and the beach wasn't crowded at all. It was the Champagne cruise. The crew was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin 4 Ever Posted August 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Which beach would you recommend? We'd want facilities (restrooms, of course) and food/beverages. Emerald Beach. It's at a BW hotel. Take a taxi there. It is $7 per person each way. You will be charge about $20 for 2 loungers and an umbrella and you have full use of the facilities. There's a nice beach bar and restaurant right on the beach as well.. It's a beautiful beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsly Posted August 7, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Megen's Bay. http://www.magensbayauthority.com/ That's my favorite too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookbug53 Posted August 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Might find some ideas here. :) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=133 We have been to St Thomas a few times and find Godfrey to be great (and inexpensive). Lots of different options and any tour that ends at Magen's Bay has got to be great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
