smilz Posted October 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Assuming it is fixed for our cruise in November, is there any accommodation for a scooter? Our friend we are traveling with is handicapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTheAces Posted October 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Last week they were down in the morning, but were running in the late afternoon. We got back to the ship late and I didn't have time to go down and check them out but I assume they were putting people in the gondolas. Hard to tell from the balcony, which is where I took this shot from using a telephoto. This was taken on 10/10/13. I watched them run for at least an hour. So open? Don't know. Running? Yes.

blue_water Posted November 7, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Latest word is there is still construction, but the bar is open and the dining area has been enlarged. They're still waiting for the tram repair parts(!) but they have a shuttle taking people up and down for now. So enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbmbird Posted November 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2013 How long does this take? I really want to do this after the beach. We are only there from 11 am to 6 pm. We plan on taking a taxi to Sapphire beach first. On the way back should we have them drop us off on top and take the tram back down? Any suggestion would be great:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 9, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted November 9, 2013 They have a shuttle taking folks up every so often but you could have the taxi take you up. If the tran is up you can take that back down one way. Great day planned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 11, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Anyone been up to Paradise Point since the free shuttle started up? The bar is open and the view is spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamkev Posted November 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Where do you get the free shuttle? We will be there Thanksgiving will the shuttle still run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 11, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The latest word is they have a shuttle transporting ppl up and back until the tram is back up. So you will either have the shuttle option or the tram. You can also drive up if you have a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 14, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) I see reports that the tram was up and running yesterday (Wed) with 5 ships in port. Edited November 14, 2013 by blue_water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted November 14, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2013 If I don't end up doing an excursion in St. Thomas, I'll definitely have to check this out. The view looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVIcruizer Posted November 14, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Up and running today. Expanded bar and deck area, which is now mostly covered with ceiling fans, it's fabulous, as it was often quite hot up there during the day with little shade. Still a sunny area with table umbrellas for those who prefer. Limited menu at the moment, but bushwackers being served - not all stores open yet, but it's a start. And the view is spectacular as always...go up and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawjaFatBoy Posted November 15, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Really hope its running when we get there 12/7. Looks like it would be a good excursion. Not to mention the Bushwhacker sounds pretty good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the Bushwhacker sounds pretty good too! Paradise Point is a great spot to relax after an excursion and before heading back to the ship, nice view and the Bushwacker is great!

pamkev Posted November 15, 2013 #19 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hope it's running Thanksgiving day as that is when we will be there. Bushwackers instead of turkey I can live with that:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadarocks Posted November 16, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Can I ask what is the taxi fare from Crown Bay to Paradise Point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsugirly Posted November 18, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Limited menu at the moment, but bushwackers being served - Well that's all that matters. :D Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 18, 2013 Author #22 Share Posted November 18, 2013 And that view... Canada not sure on the exact taxi fare but I'd guess $5pp to the tram and a little more up to PP. Perhaps someone else has taken a taxi to or from Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
