This outdoor tree house inspired shopping center is made up of stone and mahogany with winding walk ways with shops, art galleries, as well as restaurants hidden around various corners.

Review: Celebrity's A St. Johns Island Tour



by Female Abroad





When I was looking at our cruise the main thing that I did not want to do was to book excursions through the cruise line as no they are more expensive than going direct. However since we had an onboard credit that we weren't going to use for anything else there was no reason for us not to use it for this reason as it would save us money from paying out of pocket for the cheaper excursions.

Taxis



by Female Abroad





When it comes to taking a taxi in St. Croix, it is a little different than in Canada or the US. The first thing that surprised us was that cab's are not exclusive to just you if you are hiring them (unless you buy out the cab) which means that the driver can pick up other people along the way until the cab is full.

When it comes to travel, supporting the local community is very important and one of the best ways to do this is to visit the local shops and buy locally made souvenirs. While there are a lot of shops dotting the island, the main five that are run by locals and promote locals are:
