How does this work?
We pull published cruise ship schedules daily and estimate hourly crowd levels at The Baths, Cane Garden Bay, and White Bay based on which ships are at Road Town, their passenger capacity, and arrival/departure times. The Baths gets crowds from Road Town ships selling ferry excursions to Virgin Gorda. Cane Garden Bay fills up because it's a short taxi ride from the pier. White Bay sees traffic when Jost Van Dyke water taxis run from Road Town.
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.
