I don't think so but wanted to double check!!

 

Thanks!!

 

I know for sure all but Nassau are NOT tendered. But I have never been to Nassau so I don't know about it. :eek:

Usually all of those are docked. Sometimes in high season, around Christmas, someone who shouldn't gets stuck tendering in St. Thomas, though usually it is Disney that draws the short stick.

Some times in St Thomas you will get a secondary dock in the industrial area that is a little ways from the main terminal. We have walked it, but if you are in a boot, it could be a tough walk. No sidewalks and lots of traffic.

You may be better at finding out than we are. We never knew till the ship docked. We have been there four times. Once on HAL, twice on Carnival and once on Princess. I thought that maybe on Princess we would be at the downtown dock, but it never was.

 

The same with Cozumel. The very first time we were there was on the old Tropical and we were in the tourist area downtown dock. Every other time we have been at the dock that is about two miles down.

As for St Thomas, I'm not sure if it depends on number of ships in port or various cruise line contracts. I've only been to St Thomas 3 times, but have always docked at Havensight. I think the Behemoth of the Seas class of ships dock at Crown Bay, but don't know for sure what other ships regularly dock there. I would guess that most Carnival ships will dock at Havensight.

How do you know which dock in St Thomas?? I'll be on the Dream in November.

 

Unless there is a problem securing a berth, etc., you will be in Havensight.
