If you are staying long term and responsible for utilities be prepared for a horrifying electric bill, even if you don't run the AC much. Ditto for water (our combined bills ran close to $400 over the 6 months we were there).
1. Greet everyone with good morning, afternoon, or night. Do not use 'good evening'. Do NOT just jump straight into 'I would like a ...' with someone in a shop/restaurant, it is considered very rude and your service will suffer. Actually one of the things I miss most from the island! The mainland seems very gruff in comparison.
2. Draft beer is very expensive, and only available at the brew pub on the boardwalk or 1844 tavern a block or two off the boardwalk. The ONLY place to get draft Guinness is 1844, and it is $9/pint. Worth it when you haven't had a real bear in 4 months though.
5. Dive the pier at night. A LOT. Do the shallow version for sure and the deep one if you have two nights. Do some shore dives at Carambola for a nice long day. Wall is a trivial sim out and the shop on site will run your tanks to and from the fill station on an ATV. Do the night dive off the north shore for some unique bioluminescence if your trip falls on a new moon.
7. I found St Croix to be very safe, but then I am 2 meters tall so folks tend not to bother me when smaller game is plentiful. Do be aware and careful, it isn't any more dangerous than other places, but it IS very small so what come there is tends to be a lot more visible and feels closer to home than it would in a city of 50,000 on the mainland.
And this whole driving on the different side of the road when the car is built just like those in the US takes a bit of getting used to. If you rent a car, be very careful. And if you do rent a car, get a jeep. Jeeps are so much fun in St. Croix.
Come and enjoy, the water's warm, the rum drinks are cold and strong, and everyone is so friendly. You will cherish the good morning, good afternoon, good night ritual and don't worry if you mess up and say good evening, nobody will mind.
The beautiful smiles. Really new york hotel pennsylvania look at the person you are speaking with, even if it's just a good afternoon on the sidewalk, especially if you are doing some type of business. Eye contact, big smile. When they say are you ok? they mean how ya doin'? new york hotel pennsylvania and yes, they really do want to know.
