Princess Cay was nice, but it could use some tender loving care. Reminder that this is a tender port. Be prepared to wait to get on the tender back to the ship.
We booked ahead of sailing for the afternoon Princess STT-130 2-hour Tour St. Thomas Island Drive which provided the best opportunity for photos which was from 2-4pm. The open-air shuttle bus drove up the mountainous Skyline drive which provided picturesque views along the way to the top of the mountain.
Holding tight on a very windy road to the Mountain Top duty-free shopping souvenir store/bar atop St. Peter Mountain. Mountain Top is known as the birthplace of the world-famous banana daiquiri. Go through the store to find the observation deck which provides spectacular views 1200′ above Magen’s Bay. Additionally, you can see over 15 islands on a clear day. Afterward, the shuttle took us to Drake’s Seat for a panoramic view of Magen’s Bay and the surrounding islands. On a clear day you can see St. John.
The Caribbean Sea is on the left and the Atlantic Ocean is on the right!
We used a Viator excursion for a 5.5-hr drive around the island to get photos. There we saw: Black Rocks, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, and Romney Manor Home of Caribelle Batik. Lunch and a swim at Carambola Beach Club. Off to Timothy Hill Overlook for this photo and back to Port Zante.
