Our Arrival in St Thomas, USVI! | Trip to Magen's Bay Beach! | Carnival Breeze 2019! | Ep. 11

Good morning from the Carnival Breeze as we prepare to dock in beautiful St. Thomas!! After a light breakfast, the group decides to head up to the ropes course! Enjoy this special POV taken from my GoPro on the course!
After getting off the ropes course, we finally make our arrival into St. Thomas. Most of the group enjoys a Guy's Burger for lunch before disembarking the ship. Today we are doing the tour to Magen's Bay beach, a first for many of us! We had a great time splashing around in the water and enjoying the sun!
Tune in next time for Paradise Point!

As a mom, I like when Mama Hocum is part of the event! :}

[@vickimccollum2537]

And, of course, I enjoy seeing Lauren and Peter too.

[@tracydeese1746]

Vicki McCollum I just left a comment myself, saying I miss Mama Hocum. She’s the best!

[@rebeccaw7739]

I LOVE ST THOMAS!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@dewaynewestmoreland3773]

St Thomas looks beautiful. It's one of the islands i want to visit.

[@kjsurvival8292]

I was just over there on vacation, we went to St. John which is right beside St. Thomas, and it’s truly beautiful.

[@benoitmorel2166]

Best burger at sea for sure ... You can never have enough of this amazing clear water beach 👍🏻👍🏻 for this video

[@alyssaharrison1774]

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. 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, 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.

Looks like Lauren got a tan! Nice! Glad y’all had a good time!

[@boatlover1875]

Magen's Bay one of my favorites! Been there 3 or 4 times. Do think the whole beach rental thing is too much. We usually put towels down under trees or camp out at a picnic table near the bar. The guys in the bar are great, from NY I think. Nice gift shop. All in all, reasonable aside from chair and umbrella rentals. Great place if you have small kids, very calm water. The view from your next video is awesome, great pictures for cruise enthusiasts.

[@RosemaryWhisk]

this is so fun. we were on this same cruise with y’all! i saw you several times! so excited to see your point of view - i vlogged it too! so fun! ♥️♥️

[@daninisantosmoreno-emeric1598]

Always enjoy the port of St. Thomas when we cruise. In this vlog it was nice seeing Mama Hocum. She hasn’t had much air time this vlog series. Hope you are well Mama Hocum, miss seeing you! 💙🛳⚓️

[@CruiseWithJosh]

Yes she enjoyed spending time with Erica my sister who isn’t much of a camera person!

[@brianscrivener4670]

It has been too long since we were there as well. USVI is an awesome place. Next time you are there do the submarine excursion. You won't be sorry....unless you are claustrophobic. :)

[@johnmcgee8277]

[@photographedbyjay7384]

The thing that you said they were building they are actually rebuilding from hurricanes irma and maria.

[@christineweyer8839]

The next time your in St. Thomas you have to go to sapphire beach I think it is much nicer than Megan's Bay.

[@cynthiagreenhill5283]

Tell Lauren to enjoy her youthful metabolism. Wont be eating pixy sticks in 20 years lol

[@lynnejeoffroy910]

Trunk Bay is better.

[@carolyngardner4999]

Give me the down low on truck beach

[@lynnejeoffroy910]

@@carolyngardner4999 Trunk Bay is on St. Johns about 45 min. ferry ride from Charlotte Amalie. Just check out all of St. Johns, the beaches are amazing. And there are many resorts on the island also.

[@bwilburn542004]

Stand still!! That pacing in the cabin made the video horrible! Stop making those crazy turns. The video would have been good otherwise.
