[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Skip the touristy areas". Last time I checked OP will be a tourist there just like the rest of you proud of your more "authentic" experiences. Did you work at a hotel, raise kids at at John? Ridiculous.

Have you been to St Thomas? There's a whole section in Charlotte Amalie devoted to cruise ship passengers. It's generic and tacky, and overwhelmed with cruise ship passengers when a boat is there.. Better options include Frenchtown and Red Hook.[/quote]

Tourists coming off a cruise ship are inferior to tourists staying in a timeshare on the island?[/quote]

Well there is a cruise type of tourist. En masse they are undesirable. [/quote]

IME people who take a cruise vs. actually stay on an island are looking for a different type of experience. Cruise crowds also seem to attract people trying to sell stuff or trying to get you to come into their restaurant. When I visit somewhere that is also a cruise destination, I usually try to avoid the throngs. If I wanted a cruise experience, I'd take a cruise. That's just me though.[/quote]
