Day 4, St. Thomas

Today we slept in, had breakfast, and then headed to meet our excursion in St. Thomas. We took a catamaran sailing trip to Buck Island for some snorkeling, which was really fun. The dock on the way to the boat was full of iguanas, which was cool to see. There were so many people as both our ship and a Carnival ship were disembarking together and it was chaotic.

We got on the Dancing Dolphin for our day of sailing and from there is was our relaxation. The ride to and from Buck Island was smooth and there was perfect weather. The snorkeling was alright and there was a ship wreck to see, but it wasn't the coolest snorkeling I've done. I did love being in the water though and had a great time! 

After the excursion we took a taxi bus into town to do some shopping. Downtown Charlotte Amalie really is mostly expensive jewelry, but it was still fun to look around. We got some chocolates and a frozen banana and that was all. We stayed downtown for a short while and then headed back to the port where we shopped a little more. I got some bamboo items that are so soft and are being shipped directly to Michigan. 

We got back on the ship in time for our 6pm dinner, where we celebrated Mom's birthday with some Domaine Chandon sparkling wine and a delicious main dining room dinner. I had spinach dip and filled shell pasta with warm chocolate cake for desert. It was yummy desert for sure. After dinner we chilled for a moment and then went to the headliner show which was Tony Tillman. He was great and we had a great time. After the show we wandered the promenade a bit during the 70s dance party and then went up to the room to take showers and go to bed. All in all it was a great day.
