Methodology

This site is editorial. Recommendations are independent planning guidance for St Thomas cruise passengers, not paid placements or live inventory.

We do not invent star ratings, review counts, bestsellers or fabricated availability. Operator inclusions, prices, meeting points and timings can change — confirm details with your operator and cruise line before travel.

Beach entry fees, taxi times and facility notes are written as typical ranges or planning assumptions where exact figures cannot be guaranteed. Where we are uncertain, we say so.

Wildlife sightings, including turtles, are never guaranteed.

Where this site says compare tours or plan your port day, that is editorial navigation — not a live booking or payment system.

Ship schedule pages are deliberately deferred in this phase. Confirm arrival, departure and all-aboard times with your cruise line.
