Summits and Fascinations 2016: St. Thomas 10-28-16

This is a week of firsts. In all the times I have been to St. Thomas, this is the first time I have docked in Crown Bay. Apparently Royal Caribbean now has a contract with Crown Bay and will dock there at least for the next year.

Our tour called for us to be in the lounge at 8 AM and they never called our tour until 8:45. We were to ferry over to St. John and then get on open buses for the tour over there. Many people sat outside and upstairs on the ferry and we were barely out of port before it started to pour and it rained so hard you couldn’t see anything. When we pulled into Cruz Bay about 45 minutes later it was sunny and hot. We had a funny and fun driver on our tour and Debbie and I enjoyed it. This was my first time to St. John. It truly is a beautiful island and you can tell there is big money there. The beaches and water were breathtaking and I’m hoping to show you the photos when we get checked into the hotel tomorrow and can upload. Even mild mannered Debbie has been enraged by the internet on this ship. It went from sun to rain and back again and on the way back on the ferry it poured again and rained almost the balance of the day.

Debbie and I went to the sushi restaurant for lunch and really enjoyed it then it was back to the cabin to pack to get off in the morning. After dinner we went to the show which was another production show…it was so bad we left and we never do that. The luggage is out now and I am trying to finish the blog so that I can pack up the computer. I will post the photos and a summary tomorrow. It was a good cruise with exceptionally smooth seas and we both enjoyed this ship.

I will end with Captain Kate’s final Confucius saying…”Woman who sets goals high reaches Summit” and she did!
