Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

The first stop on the cruise after 2 days at sea. 

We followed another cruise ship into St.
Thomas.

The first sign you see when you leave the ship is the direction to the shops.

We took the "St. John Half Day Champagne Cat Sail Beach & Snorkel" shore excursion for this stop.

OVERVIEW: Enjoy the best of the Virgin Islands on this exclusive half-day sail from St. Thomas to St. John on board a custom-designed catamaran. Experience the thrill of sailing the Caribbean before enjoying time at beautiful National Park Honeymoon Bay Beach.

HIGHLIGHTS: Sail to the island of St. John to swim, snorkel, beachcomb, or relax on the beach. Enjoy baked breads, cheeses, fruits, and champagne/other beverages.

Sandy went snorkeling. I remained on the catamaran because the dive masks would not seal around my glasses. No glasses means I don't see anything.
