St Thomas Virgin Islands was today’s port of call. Loren, Ed2, Jeff, Jean, and the two of us got a taxi to Blackbeard’s Castle. We climbed to the top of the lookout tower and admired the view, checked out statues of famous pirates, clowned with a modern version of a Caribbean pirate, walked the 99 steps, admired amber in the museum, drooled over the amber waterfall, and indulged in a drink they’ve been serving since 1829. Blackbeard’s Revenge boasts five different rums in one drink. It’s tasty but powerful. Since we shared drinks we did have enough steam to walk back to the ship and on the way stopped to admire a watercraft named Blackbeard’s Revenge as well as an iguana. Back aboard The Ruby we took advantage of some of the martini offerings at Crooners before partaking of Afternoon Tea with Ed2 and Loren. Then there was time for a little rest before dinner and dancing!
Cozumel & Grand Cayman
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
