I need advice and insight before I try to reserve a jeep rental in St. Thomas!
We are cruising The Fantasy in 19 days and really really really want to do St. John when we get to St. Thomas. There are a total of 6 ships in port in St. Thomas the day we are there. We are scheduled in port from 8am-4pm.
I checked online and Budget has a jeep rental for 58$ with my AAA rate. When I figure the cost of taxi to Red Hook ferry from Havensight dock for 3 of us, plus Red Hook ferry to Cruz Bay fare, it comes to a little over 100$ round trip to do St. John via taxi/ferry. That does not count any taxi fare for getting around to see the sights/beaches in St. John!
So, my question is, it is a no brainer to just rent the jeep in St. Thomas, drive ourselves to the Red Hook ferry and pay the car barge 50$ round trip right?! Then we can drive all over wherever we want in St. John, stop for as many breathtaking overlooks and pictures we want, dip in the water and snorkel a bit, and so on.
I am just a bit nervous about the whole thing and would like a little bit of advice and reassurance that this is a feasible plan for St. Thomas/St John. I appreciate any feedback......now tell me what I need to know ASAP PLEASE!!
