St. Thomas was our second port of call on the cruise, the day after Samana. We were delivered right into a tourist trap in St. Thomas and I wasn't thrilled. Nothing authentic to photograph in any direction, but I did get a few nice shots of the harbor from our ship. These are all digital pictures since we had an under water excursion planned that afternnon.
Image descriptions from top left to right going down the rows:
*Coral World at Coki Beach. Debbie and Steve went snorkeling at the beach while we did a helmet dive in that hut. *Before our dive we got to tour the park for a while, meet mr. shark. * Me petting mr. shark, he felt like sandpaper! * Me petting the friendly starfish. * Me getting attacked by a nasty bird. Yeah, I like animal life, but sometimes, they don't like me! haha * The crew station. This little place caters to the asian workers on the ships, they can use the internet, make phone calls, and buy food they eat at home. Our waitress at breakfast was so excited to get off the ship and spend her day here. * This picture makes me laugh! This is supposed to be a postcard set up where you zoom in and take your picture, well, you never know what you'll get handing your camera off to a stranger! *Aboard the ship after our day on the island, ready for dinner. *Dinner at the mexican restaurant on board (thanks guys). We had a very messy meal, Jeremy dropped a rib right into his glass, Steve spilled salsa on the table. We special ordered dessert and when the head waiter saw the state of our table he wouldn't even lay down silver ware until someone came to clean it. I could get used to that level of service, we were so spoiled on the ship!
Speaking of spoiled...I guess that is a good time to add that Jeremy and I bought a week pass to the spa. It was heaven!! There were jacuzzis, saunas, a therapy pool, and hot stone lounge chairs. Worth every penny for relaxation!!
At Coral world. There were iguanas everywhere!! They were like seagulls here, they would sneak up to people and try to steal and beg for food. We saw one eating a napkin.
Some cute sea turtles hanging out eating their lettuce lunch.
This was a grab shot on the way back to the tourist trap. Some glimpse of real life here. I loved the school uniforms.
Another grab shot, some guy slicing a fish for sale on the side of the road. St. Thomas ended up being my least favorite stop. From the parts we saw, it was just like being here in the US, only dirtier and more run down. Good thing we had an awesome dive experience!
Back on board and ready for dinner.
The beautiful sunset harbor

Even though we didn't like the scenery in St. Thomas, you would never know due to the great pictures!
I wish we could have gone and seen you guys do the dive! That would have been awesome!
