I love that you let us know how much each thing costs on your cruise, AND that you keep a running tally of all of the costs! That is so awesome! Plus that was great that you asked how much chair and umbrella rentals were on the beaches! This is stuff that people really want to know as we are watching vacation videos, and you letting us know, saves us the extra step of having to do the research of finding these prices. Also, I love how you tell us what time it is on your videos! :-)

Two of our fathers ran the hotel and restaurant at Sapphire in the late 1980s. We would sometimes go out there to waterski in my 13 foot Boston Whaler with a 55hp, and sometimes tourists would ask us to go skiing. We charged $20 for men to go as long as they wanted, and women were free. There used to be a 1 story shack where the 3 story building is right at the end of the St. John dock. It had stones out front with a couple picnic tables, and there was no gate or building on the dock. My dad was involved in the St. John Pub that was there throughout the 1980s that sold subs, hotdogs, cold beer and mixed tropical drinks to the tourists. I used to go over to St. John and have lunch at The Backyard on some Saturdays, that was practically all traveling by road on that island I did in the years I was there. When I was 12 dad bought me a 13 foot Boston Whaler with a 55hp and besides the other 4 boats he had I used to use it to go to St. John once in a while. A couple times was to Trunk where we visited our schoolmate that lived in the house on the peninsula that you see. She used to travel to St. Thomas to go to school and back every day. My best friend's dad owned the largest dump truck on St. Thomas during the time they were moving the Eastern mountain to off the Western end of the runway extending it. His driver was dropping a load off the end, lost control and jumped out just in time to see it sink into the end of the runway. Time, resources, etc dictated that they just keep going. So when you land there, you are landing on a dump truck. December 1989 through Jan 1990 I helped put the flat roof on the new airport terminal. White guys who hired me got fired for fist fighting the day before I came down to take the job, and I spent three days doing nothing, with the exception of checking the caps that held down the flat roof that had already been done. I think I counted 173 that weren't fastend. I told the guy who came down from Florida to take over the job, but he didn't seem concerned. I have no idea if it passed inspection. My family of 6 including 2 of my grandparents were scheduled on the American Airlines flight that crashed on the island in 1976 running into a Shell gas station at the end of the short runway. My mom had a dream, and rescheduled us for a week earlier with all the work and changes made for dad's 3 stores to run for 2 weeks. We were at Magens when it crashed. A call went out for the 2nd most rare blood, AB-, which my father had. My dad said he wasn't taking time out from his vacation to donate blood. Read the karma my dad died to on that island 14 years after that crash, in this book with links below. I've probably been on more cruise ships than anyone reading this, yet never been on a cruise. My dad ran a ship chandlery that had a monopoly on selling liquor to the cruise ships in the early '80s, that I used to spend my afternoons after school doing my homework at, that was located at the last building on the Havensite dock (has Senior Frogs painted on its roof). After growing up on the island and starting when I was 17 in late 1986, we used to roam Charlotte Amalie downtown streets at night bar hopping Coconuts, Rosie O'Grady's, The Ritz, Yesterdays, then to the Greenhouse at 10pm for the current live band, when everyone was partying in the islands. Since the bars closed at 2 AM we would go out to steal cars, usually rentals, and race across the island, afterward sometimes stripping them for parts. I've floored it in a brand new 1987 Accord LXi from the Fort all the way to Frenchtown one night easily doing 100mph, which was not unusual to do with stolen cars but sometimes done even with the ones we sort of cared about. I hold the record for most boats stolen in one night while alone; three - I took them to a birthday party.

That odd building in coki beach is for underwater walking tour. I did it and it was super amazing. You just have a helmet and walk around the sea. So exciting glad we did it. Didn’t get a chance to go to the beach now I wish I had. Looks amazing. I found you thru favors vlogs. Now I’m binge watching all of your videos. Wishing we could go on a cruise.

This is my fave video of yours. Coki is one of the best beaches. ❤️❤️

The first beach looked the best to me

beautiful scenery, nice video, thanks for sharing.

Great tour and pics!

Beautiful beaches and great footage.

I think you guys hit the jackpot on that tour. Those beaches are gorgeous!

oh my....i can almost feel the soft breeze on my face! so beautiful!! you look perfectly at home on the beach :)

Was on Bliss on inaugural season on inside passage in Alaska. So loved the ship, cant wait to cruise.on her again. Great video!!

That sound of the lapping waters on the beach - it's music to my ears and the scenery is eye candy! I loved Coki the most, but also the serenity of Lindquist Beach was very appealing! Thanks for sharing!

I love how grateful you sound to be able to go on vacation. I always feel the same way - thank you for posting these. we go on the Bliss 2/2/19 - please send some tips if you have any. I know the Atrium gets so crowded on all of these ships lately.

This looks like a great tour. We are going there in Sept and checking out things to do. By the way only a true Minnesotan would mention Sweet Martha's cookies! lol

On Sapphire Beach what’s the deal with those chairs? Were you able to rent chairs and an umbrella?

Can I ask if you prebooked your island tour or was it thru the ship. Thk you enjoying your vlogs. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Those beaches look fantastic! We are doing the sky ride on St. Thomas and Harry is a bit leery about it, but he said ok. Your room was beautiful. I love the artwork. What deck were you on? Looking forward to #7 Tortolla
