Passengers ashore is a model: 85% of double-occupancy capacity comes ashore over the 90 minutes after the gangway opens (30 minutes after arrival) and is back aboard by all-aboard, 30 minutes before sailing. It is the shape of the day, not a head count. The harbour is a schematic view; positions are the published schedule, not AIS.
How busy is St. Thomas today?
No cruise ships are scheduled in port at St. Thomas today (Friday, November 6, 2026) — expect a quieter beach and town day.
A ship's crowd lands in the 90 minutes after its gangway opens and drains back over the two hours before all-aboard, so the busiest hour is where the ships' days overlap — not the arrival time on the schedule. A no-ship day at St. Thomas: the beaches and town run at local pace all day.
