CROWD-TACTICALFour-plus ships means Havensight and downtown are a pedestrian traffic jam and every facility beach is at capacity for hours. Leave the cruise zone: ferry to St. John from Red Hook for Honeymoon Beach or the national park trails, or kayak the east-end mangroves where it's just you and the herons. Whatever you do, pre-arrange your return taxi — don't count on finding one at 4pm.
