Tram to Paradise Point

[mwsrccl]

Has anyone on this board been on the tram, if so is it a good experience and worth the time?

I did it once and thought it was worth it. That is because of the great view you have of St. Thomas and can get great pictures of the ships in port. It is within walking distance of the ships. There are also some shops if you like.

[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]Great view! At $15/person expensive for our family of 5. Do a land trip--the tram is free after 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday nights. Charges seem to be the highest for cruise ship passengers. There a breaks on prices for those staying in local hotels and resorts.

Thanks guys, I think I will give it a try.

If you are renting a car you can drive up to the lookout/shopping/bar area rather then riding the tram up. There is a road.

It was only $7.50 for me when I was there March 16. It was a bit later in the afternoon though.

It's really free after 5pm?? I hadn't heard that anywhere.

Thanks!

[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]Only on Wednesday. (They called it happy hour.) We got the info from the guest journal in the condo. We took the tram the week before last and watched the cruise ships leave including the Queen Mary 2.

Hello,

The regular rate is $15 round trip. And yes on late Wednesday afternoons its free for attending Happy Hour at the Bar/restaurant area, only on that day for that event.

If I'[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]m not mistaken you can get a taxi to take you up there and I think it would be cheaper I know some tours go up there[/SIZE][/FONT]

I was thinking of taking the tram up, but wondered about getting a taxi at the top to take us to Magen's Bay (and not bothering to go back down the tram).

What are the odds of there being a taxi up there, and is there a one-way fare for the tram?

[The Islander]

Odds of their being a taxi up there that isn't on a tour of some sort is not likely. You can ask a bartender or wait staff at the bar to call a taxi for you. Contact them to see about one way options: [url]http://www.stthomasskyride.com[/url]
