liltellurr Posted June 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hello everyone! I'll be in St. Thomas in July on the Carnival Liberty. We're scheduled to do the BOSS Underwater Adventure and then explore and shop for the rest of our stay. First of all, where is the best shopping located? I keep hearing all about this amazing shopping. Second, with chikungunya being such a concern right now and cases being reported from St. Thomas, I was wondering what the mosquito situation was for the above activities. I've never been to St. Thomas, are mosquitoes incredibly bad there? Are there areas to avoid, certain things I shouldn't be doing, etc? I nearly get eaten alive whenever they're around, so I'm trying to be careful. I came back from my last cruise with 36 bites on one leg! I'll obviously be using repellent, etc., but I'm just trying to take further precautionary measures and plan my activities accordingly (if necessary). Additionally, we're looking to do a sting ray excursion in Grand Turk, zip lining in San Juan and also do something fun in St. Maarten, if you have any tips/advice regarding mosquitoes in these ports as well. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted July 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Mosquitoes aren't generally a problem during the day, especially if you're in town. On BOSS, you'll be in a boat and underwater, so no worries there! The best shopping is found in the little alleyways - not on Main Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
