  • St Croix, United States Virgin Islands

    January 15, 2025 on the U.S. Virgin Islands ⋅ 🌬 77 °F

    Breakfast in the Galley, the usual.
    Got off the ship at around 1130am.
    Huge disappointment!
    No taxi that cared to take us into town for the Botanical Gardens.
    Taxis only offered a full tour of the island, which was 3 hours of driving around the city. Vendors and shops seemed disinterested in any real service. It was quite a shockingly unwelcome setting.

    Water was beautiful, and we did get to see a few sea turtles. Decided that some clean eating at the Dock House and some game time was FAR better than people watching on St Croix.
