I went to this fabric/quilt shop this past March and my DH & I walked there from the cruise ship. It was a good walk, but we took our time and not as far as all the walking we did on the ship,lol! I didn't buy any fabric because at the time we were there my DH & I both noticed a musty smell in the shop. We didn't know if it'd stay in the fabric or not and I wasn't going to pay the price of their fabrics and not be able to get rid of the smell. I was looking at their prices and they were quite HIGH. They wanted $12-$18/yd. for Hoffman, Timeless Treasures, Kaufman and others that we can get state-side at the time for $8-$9/yd. Of course the prices now here are more and I'm sure on the island it's gone up also. I still had a good time looking thru the shop. Enjoy your cruise! I'll be going on one the end of March to ARUBA!!!! Cruise baby, cruise!!!
When you get off the ship it's towards the middle of town about 4 blocks up and towards the right, I hope this helps. I can't remember the name of the shop!
