What the tour guide failed to mention was that hassle island was actually used as a Naval base during the first and second world war. I'm glad you guys loved ST. THOMAS. I was born and raised on the island. I love when visitors come and enjoy the place I call home.

One of our favorite port. Sailing away at night is so cool. All the mountain, city and boats are lit up. Tropical paradise. Great video

What a beautiful island!! Can't wait to get there some day!!!

Cant wait to be there in january good lord willing

Oh my beautiful view

Crazy that’s why I love y’all

Wow, that water! So beautiful!

Fabulous views from everywhere..st Thomas is hilly..like a nice roller coaster ...truck needed for the hills ...yes girl, sun your buns in st thomas

Love you guys! So real! I feel like I am right there with U🌴🥳❤️

We love St. Thomas and can't wait to get back there! Great video!

That beach looked absolutely amazing!!

That water is so pretty.👍⛴🚢⚓️

I can’t wait to get back to St Thomas, spent my time there sleeping and hungover on Magens Bay beach 🤦🏾‍♀️

What an amazingly perfect day on the beach! Can’t wait to have these kind of cruising beach days again soon!

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 boat, 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. Feed any iguanas you run into with hibiscus flowers, red ones especially, that's why if you're wearing red they might come up to you and try to chew on your shirt. 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. 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, or over 5 times the speed limit, which was not unusual to do with stolen cars but sometimes done even with the ones we sort of cared about. One night I was with a few locals and we got pulled over for racing into Frenchtown. The cop went to arrest one of us and he started skipping around the car in a circle repeatedly singing, "Haha you can't catch me!" to the cop. He made it a couple times around the car and we had to bail him out that night. I hold the record for most boats stolen in one night while alone; three - I took them to a birthday party.

You guys are awesome, thanks for the great video!

Looks amazing!!!!!

Loved St Thomas..would love to go back

I want to thank for sharing this. I just love you’re video’s and I can’t wait until we get to go there.

St. Thomas is my favorite. Well St. John is beautiful too. We saw Steven Spielberg yacht in St Thomas.....huge

I'm in need of a new EECC video!!

Love St Thomas!

So glad you got to visit my home island of St Thomas watching this making me home sick but glad you went before the coronavirus hit our islands ,St Thomas St Croix and St John . As a Virgin Islander I’m proud to say I’m from the USVI. Hope you guys get a chance to go back after the coronavirus is over to visit and stay a little longer and get a chance to island hop lol that something we do as Virgin Islanders we take a ferry also called a boat to visit other islands.

I felt St. Thomas was lovely to see from the ship as well.

Beach beach 🏖 I loved my time in St. Thomas. Coki beach had fabulous snorkeling 🤿

I absolutely loved St Thomas! Was there on The Encore, January 2020. Took a tour of the island and went to The Famous Mountain Top and had that delicious drink.

Love love love Half Moon Cay!!

St Thomas looked stunning. Jason looked to be having a great time lol.

I enjoy watching you two’s videos. They’re always informative with visuals.

You guys are a hoot!

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

We went to Sapphire Beach last year on a cruise and it was gorgeous!!

U guys are awesome 😜

Going Nov 2021 on Marti Gras!!!!! This video makes me so excited to get there and visit Sapphire Beach!!!!

Hey Jason and Alisa,it was great having you all on St. Thomas. It gave me great pleasure taking you all around. Great video!! Let's do it again.

Looks like fun.

I think this vlog just may have locked in my bday trip to USVL... The water looks is AMAZING 🏖️

Bucket list port

Love the ports on an eastern Caribbean cruise, the water is just such a crystal clear aqua color. I’d love to be able to do the southern ports.....one day 🛳⛴🚢⚓️

Coming there in January as one of our stops on the joy! Hoping we can still go.

I love tipsy Alisa!

So glad you enjoyed my home!

Can't wait to get back to St. Thomas !! Going in Feb 2025!! And on this ship Statendam

We went to sapphire beach on our first cruise to St Thomas. Since then we have flown to ST three times and rented condo at Sapphire Beach each time. We've traveled to many places, but always come back here. Our heaven. Do yourself a favor and get a condo there for a week. So much to do. Ferry to St John and BVI. Good eats at Redhook. VRBO sapphire beach. Rent from an individual, not thru the resort. D building is the best, on the point in front of pool. No better feeling than getting up at 6 in the morning and watching sunrise over St John with a cup of coffee. True paradise that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Love the reef out there left of Sapphore we could go and catch lonsters there for dinner!

You two are so darn cute...🤗😘🤗

😁😁💜💜💜💜 love y'all🇻🇮🇻🇮

Sooooooo besuitful

You guys are such a cute couple!

I agree on the coors light comment. It is basically water lol

way late to the party, but OMG Ivan is the best! we have ridden with him several times when we stay on St. Thomas!

Cool another video! I'm just finishing up the Alaskan cruise videos for the 2nd time.

We actually like the Carib...not bad...viv

St John and Tortola are also beautiful. St John has a huge percentage of National Park

Great video, please share the tour guy...Ivan? Thank you!

Beautiful video,do come again

This island is one of my favorite all time. Being from Puerto Rico obviously PR is my favorite but St. Thomas is just gorgeous. Curious on your thoughts on Western Caribbean vs Eastern Caribbean now that you guys have been to both? Btw this video is just making miss cruising so much!!

At least your yacht was the biggest one there

Correction for your tour guide. Hassel Island was connected to St. Thomas, but Water Island was not. They made haulover cut to improve the circulation of the water in Charlotte Amalie harbor. Hassel Island was once used as wet/dry docks to ship amongst other things.

Wow! Thank you for bringing St. Thomas to me. Use to live there and because of Covid19 can't get back. So glad to see Sapphire. That was were I lived.

u guys should visit trinidad and tobago its fun our culture is a mix between indian and black. The food were famous for is roti, doubles etc and our biggest thing we love yearr round is called carnival/soca its so much fun lol. By the way Trinidad has two islands i would suggest visiting both bc tobago has pretty water and trinidad is the busy part where youll get to know trinidad

When Jason was drinking his coffee in the beginning of the video...he plays a good "most interesting man in the world" Jonathan Goldsmith..☕🧔👍

Just subscribed! I am laid up with Covid over in Dallas tx!

Hey you 2!! I so want to visit St Thomas. Looks like a great island with beautiful hills and views.

These past several videos have been fun, but where's the ship life? That's one of the big things I always liked about your cruise videos was the ship life on board. I've really wanted to see the dining room and other stuff on the new HAL ships.

I want to visit St Thomas

When we were at Sapphire Beach about 5 years ago, that food/bar stand wasn’t there. The only food was two local women cooking over a grill surrounded by roosters and chickens 🐔🐓 The trees and ground around the top of the beach was filled with iguanas 🦎

Im moving to St.Thomas in January, this video along with many others has helped to make that decision for me

Yum

I lost all my pictures of my trip to St.Thomas and Somebody knew Jason was coming and bought all the Michelob Ultra.

Megan’s bay beach is the best.

Hey guys! Can I get the taxi guys info please? Going on my honeymoon cruise in December and we want to do exactly as y'all did. Hoping to go to the mountain top and then Sapphire Beach. Ty!

I’ve been wanting to see the USVI now I really got to!

Can you share driver information?

Do you guys have a cruise ship you recommend for young teenage boys (12 and 14)? We are trying to decide between Norwegian encore or harmony of the seas or any other?

He snapped his fingers and pointed his pinky when drinking that beer, yep, he tipsy lol lol

Jason..!! If you ever need a wingman..call me..lol😊🍻😊👍

There us a nude beach on the French side of St Maarten. The scenery there is just a beautiful as St Thomas. What do you do with your expensive camera while you are in the water? How do you keep if from being stolen?

Um Jason is pretty funny!

Love your guys channel! We are going to St Thomas soon... Would you mind posting or sending us somehow Ivan's contact information? We would love to use him for getting to Sapphire Beach as well. Thanks so much!

how was the water temperature at the beach ? warm ? cold ? frizzing ?

Hi can you share Ivan information we would love to use him for our next cruise

are there taxi's waiting to take you back to the ship when you are ready to leave?

Are you going to do any more live streams?

"Compared to Michelob Ultra it is" 😂😂😂

Was it easy to find a taxi back to the ship?

My niece got married at Sapphire beach right around where you all were swimming

any problems with the ice or the water on the islands?

I've heard that there are some nude beaches in that area but I don't know for sure. I will definitely try to find them though.

When is the next vlog coming out ?

We love this beach. If you snorkel by the grass (seaweed) there are turtles. :-)

Hi guy's. Merry New Year 😜😜😂😂🙋 are thr any ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS in St Thomas?? Please HELP

Now that I am working remotely, I need to inquire about seeing if I can work from St. Thomas since it is technically a part of the United States! I have only stayed around the port on my previous visits, but I definitely want to check out that overlook, it had amazing views.

If Jason wants a nude beach, go to Orient Beach in St. Maarten haha. Never been but I've heard stories

Would you happen to have the detail for ivans tours

Who was the driver and how can we get in touch with him? We’re going next week.

We went here this past December and LOVED it but we didn’t have much time so we didn’t get to see very much. This is why we booked it again (through you this time) for December 2021. We will have more time. We need you to give us suggestions as to hat to do. We are so excited!!!

Any chance you have the Taxi drivers contact info?

Is the water same as turkes and Caicos
