How does this work?
We pull published cruise ship schedules daily and estimate hourly crowd levels at Rainbow Beach and Buck Island based on which ships are at Frederiksted, their passenger capacity, and arrival/departure times. Rainbow Beach fills up fast because it's steps from the cruise pier. Buck Island gets excursion boat traffic typically arriving about an hour after the ship docks.
These are estimates based on published schedules and ship capacity. Real crowd levels depend on weather, excursion bookings, and actual occupancy. Use this as a planning tool — check the hourly bars and aim for green windows.
