Jewel of the Seas Live 2017 St. Croix & Turtles

April 4, 2017 by @Modlifeisgood Leave a Comment

We are currently on Jewel of the Seas sailing to St. Maarten after our first formal night and a fantastic day in St. Croix. The highlight of the day being the turtle we saw swimming near the ship in the afternoon.

Family Fun St. Croix

A brief report tonight as I have had a few drinks this evening and we have an early rise in the morning.

St. Croix was a pretty island and the was a great beach near the pier. The was a market laid on and live music. We spent several hours at the beach and have all caught a bit too much sun.

Things I have learnt today:

  • You never know what you might see near a cruise ship. It was fantastic seeing a turtle.
  • It is possible to have a fantastic time on a cruise without paying for expensive excursions. Apart from a few small purchases in markets we didn’t spend anything.
  • Captain Liz is one of only 3 female cruise ship captains in the world.

  • Most people do still follow Formal Night dress code.
  • Our dinner was much better tonight and our waiters who last night seemed rushed were excellent. I think the 8pm muster drill rushes everything

What I have still to learn:

  • Where are the guests? We had an enjoyable couple of hours in Schooners Bar & we pretty much had the bar to ourselves. Vintages was empty! Where is everyone?

Tomorrow we are off to St. Maarten and doing something called the race…..should be interesting!
