Bluewater4ever Posted December 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I understand there are two docks in St. Thomas - Crown Bay and Havensight, can someone tell me which one the Regal Princess docks at? I am trying to arrange a car rental, and the dock location makes a difference. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted earlier l can't ever remember not docking at Crown Bay with Princess. Looking back we might have docked at WICO on one of our Caribbean Princess summer cruises about 7 years ago when there are not that many ships in the Caribbean in the summer.

kywildcatfanone Posted December 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Perhaps I should have worded it differently. I've been to St. Thomas on Princess about 12 times, and every time the ship has docked at Havensight. This is over about a 10 year period. That's been my experience.

Amazing that you always dock at Havensight and we at Crown Bay which I hate. I just looked up our April 1st stop at St.Thomas on the Regal and it's docking at Havendight, I'm pleased as punch.

Princess got a break on docking fees by using crown bay when it opened. They had a 10 year contract, that they subjected their passengers to. At the end ... it wasn't too bad. But, for the first year or two, all that was there was a pavillion. There were no stores built. ; The 10 years ended, and Princess has moved back to havensite. I think royal carribbean is now enjoying crown bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyCruiser Posted December 29, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 29, 2019 As I understand it Carnival corp subsidized improvements to the Crown Bay dock area and had a ten year contract to use the area beginning in 2007. Carnival corp used it primarily for Holland America and often times Princess. In 2008 Royal Caribbean launched Oasis of the Seas. It turned out that Oasis class ships had to dock at Crown Bay, so when the Carnival contract was up Royal Caribbean signed on. So now Royal Caribbean and Celebrity use Crown Bay and all Carnival brands are at Havensight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess at one time had a 10 year contract for Crown Bay. It expired. They have docked at Havensight for 2 or 3 years. Occasionally they will still dock at CB if there are more ships in. As noted above RCCL's biggest ships have priority at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCruiser Posted December 29, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I’ll add a twist to this conversation. About 4 years ago, we tendered from Princess at St Thomas. Parked right out in the middle of the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really liked the closeness of the beach at Crown Bay and hope that someday they'll return. Other than additional shopping at Havensight there's not much difference in the distance to attractions from either dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Princess docked at Crown Bay there was quite a bit of grousing on this board that they were not docking at Havensight. Mostly due to lack of shopping at the pier and inability to walk into town.
