Found our In-Transit instructions for Miami in our mailbox when I went to get coffee this morning. Hard to believe the first leg of our back-to-back was coming to a close.
St. Thomas is considered by a number of cruisers as a shopping mecca if the people returning to the ships with numerous large shopping bags in hand were any indication. Others spent quality time at Magen’s Bay. We’ve had fun in St. Thomas with both snorkeling excursions and island tours.
Today, we had another great day by the pool in the Summer Landing. It was interesting to watch the Carnival Sunshine dock right behind us. The Celebration towered over it.
Once we had enough of the sun and wind, we came back to the room to find that our Platinum reward “chocolate surprise” had been delivered.
Before dinner, we tried to get a seat at the Alchemy Bar but all the seats were taken. Seems like the secret was out. We went to the Latitudes Bar which was one deck down. We had their signature drink – The Sakura. Many guests just referred to it as “the bubble drink.” Loved sprinkling the petals to make a wish while bursting the fog bubble.
Next to the Latitude Bar, there was a spot for a musician(s). We always enjoyed the soloist. The trios were usually so loud you couldn’t carry on a conversation with the person sitting next to you.
We ate again in the main dining room. We both had the potato soup and steak. Afterwards, we were able to find seats in the Casino so that rounded out our evening.
