I loved St. Thomas, but did not care for the shopping! The people are too pushy. Be sure and book a tour. We took the Spiderman Island Tour and were totally happy with it. We even got to go to the beach for a couple of hours!

I still think it is the top tourist destination in the Caribbean, more cruise ships stop here then any other place in the caribbean.
As a local, you should be the only one answering. I have been to court several times in St. Thomas. It's particularly nice to go there when you're getting paid.

I haven't been yet, but it is on one of my upcoming cruises! I think we will book the "Sea Blaster Powerboat and Snorkel" tour!

We love St. Thomas and never get tired of stopping there.
I have shopped, been to numerous beaches, took a tour, took a catamaran tour, did the sail boat racing. We went to St. John's to snorkel a couple of times before 911 when you could be tendered from the ship.
Conrad, looks like we are going to be on your island one day during the week of Dec 7. See you then! And you will hopefully give me some more things to add here.
