The seas were calm and the overnight sailing was smooth from Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands. We started the day on our veranda watching the ship dock in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI.


A scenic bus ride on the narrow, winding roads of St. Thomas to where the catamaran was docked, sailing through the turquoise waters along the coast of St. Thomas, a rainbow over St. Thomas (shown in the header above), sailing through Pillsbury Sound where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean on our way to St. John, a dinghy ride to Honeymoon Beach in the Virgin Islands National Park in St. John, swimming in the Caribbean, walking on a white sandy beach, and just chilling on the beach. It doesn’t get much better than that!





We returned to our ship in time for lunch and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. Our beautiful day ended after another glorious sunset and another delicious dinner.

Wow what a beautiful and warm place to explore and photograph. I would love to exchange the near constant drizzle and dreary winter weather for something more colourful and sunnier ☺️ thanks for sharing and have a good day ☺️ Aiva

Okay. After reading your post, I just had to go price cruises. We’ve been on 6, and we miss cruising! You are tempting me. Enjoy. It looks so nice!

Judy, we did different things in each port. Going on the catamaran was super fun. When we were on the beach we even saw a sea turtle swimming in the water.

I always think it’s funny when we are on a cruise. Spending days on the water, so then we choose excursions that put us in a small boat, again on the water. >grin< We had a deep-sea fishing excursion planned for one of our excursions last month. We'll have to save it for next time.
