St. Croix shore excursion review

Eric Arellanos

Upon arriving at St. Croix we could really tell it was a virgin island because there was not much to see around the pier. It is quite a walk from the debarkation point to the end of the pier so they have little shuttles taking people back and forth as needed. We decided not to book any shore excursions so we decided to just get off the ship and just wing it. We were thinking of going down to a beach in St. Croix, but since it was cloudy and raining a little bit, we decided to go to the other side of the Island to Christianstead (Frederikstead is were the ship docks). We took the taxi right from the pier and our taxi driver was fantastic, he talked to us throughout the whole ride about the different things we were passing and he also told us a lot about the history of St. Croix. We finally got to Christianstead and so off to the shops we went… we found some good deals on souvenirs here, so we bought pretty much most of the stuff here to take back home. After a little more rain and some more shopping we went back to the ship. All of St. Croix was very nice and quaint… well they said it was quiet that day because it was a Sunday and everyone stays home on Sunday… so may be if you go on a different day, the peacefulness we encountered won’t be the same. On the way back to the ship we got the same taxi driver (thankfully) and he took us a different way so we could see more of the island… we visited one of the world’s largest oil refineries, and he even took us shopping for rum at a place where the deals cannot be beat… and all this for just a regular taxi fare… what a deal… and we didn’t even have to spend the money for a shore tour.
