My wife and I are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks and have a day to spend in St. Thomas. Could someone recommend to me the "highlights" that we should see, or point me to somewhere else that could?

The highlights - well it depends on what you want to do. If you want to shop - then Havensight and Charlotte Amalie would be the highlights. If you want to go to the beach - Magen's Bay is great, Sapphire, there are lots of other beaches too - visit the beach section of this site and you can pick the one that you like. If you want to snorkel go to Coki beach, nice snorkeling there. If you want to visit historical buildings - go to Charlotte Amalie and do a walking tour of Fort Christian, the 99 steps, Blackbeards and churches... For nature trips - you might want to either visit Coral World Marine Park, or take the Atlantis Submarine, or there is an ecotour through a mangroove lagoon. Lots of options... lets us know what you are interested in - and then we could be more specific.

there is also the tram at paradise point. it is walking distance from the cruise ships. It affords an incredible view of the harbor and the caribbean sea. They serve drinks and food. Take your camera!! If you want another historical tour- go with the tour of Bluebeards Castle. It is beautiful and they give you stuff. Mountain Top is a wonderful site-it overlooks Magen's Bay. They serve excellent banana daquiris up there. Try a bushwacker-a tasty drink that goes down easy. Take a tour of St. Peter's Greathouseand botannical gardens also. It is definately worth it. enjoy.
