How does this work?

We pull published cruise ship schedules daily — ship names, passenger capacity, arrival and departure times, and which USVI port they're visiting. Then we estimate hourly crowd levels at popular beaches throughout each day.

Magens Bay, Coki Beach, and Sapphire Beach get cruise traffic from ships at Charlotte Amalie (St. Thomas) — they're a short taxi ride from the cruise terminal. National Park Beaches (Trunk Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay on St. John) get hit when Charlotte Amalie passengers take excursion boats or the Red Hook ferry to St. John.

Rainbow Beach is steps from the Frederiksted cruise pier on St. Croix — it fills up fast on ship days. Buck Island gets cruise excursion boat traffic from Frederiksted, 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.
