    Great video, looks like you enjoyed our island. Usually these videos from tourists provide a lot of bad info, mispronunciations of places etc. This was well done. A few small things. Mountain Top is not a mall. It's the highest point on St.Thomas on Crown Mountain. There was a fire there in 2009 that destroyed the whole place, it used to be very different and what you see is what was built afterwards.
    The last place you visited was called Skyline Dr. Scenic Overlook. The red fort is called Fort Christian and it's the oldest building in the USVI. The date 1671 is not when the building was finished, but the year it was started.
    We jokingly call Emerald Beach The "ooooh aahhh beach" Being right by the airport, when we fly in, as the plane turns from the runway to the taxi way all those on the left side of the plane will get their first view and the words "ooh aahh' can be heard, especially if this is their first time to St. Thomas.

      @@FowlerFamilyFun No Problem. One thing I missed. You mentioned in the beginning of the video that someone said Royal Caribbean owns the shopping area. I have heard rumors on island they were looking to buy it. However, the Royal Caribbean shop and the cruise line are NOT related.

      Wow that’s gonna be a fun cruise. We were on the Dream last May for a 6 day cruise. We would love to take that Journeys cruise. We have a series of videos for the our Cruise on the Dream it’s obviously not the same ports but might help with the cruise ship if you haven’t seen that series it’s in our playlist.

    Happy 30 th Anniversary!
    After a long wait, We finally werer able to go on a cruise to St Thomas last year for our 37th wedding anniversary/ honeymoon. Loved it so much, we have planned to go again in April 2025 for our 38th. ( when you wait that long we decided to do it twice)
    Wishing you both the very best with many more years and blessings together.

    • @FowlerFamilyFun
      @FowlerFamilyFun  Месяц назад +2

      We booked it right there in the port. You will see all the buses right by the exit. I want to say we paid $25-35 a person but I can’t remember to be honest. I know we bargained with them and got it a little cheaper.

      Yes…. There were several of us staying and we all agreed to spend 2.5 hours there and he picked us up 2.5 hours later. It was pretty simple. I sorry I could be off on the price of the tour I thought it was $10 a person my wife thought it was more like 25-35.

      The bus tour can be found right in the port area. There’s people walking around trying to sell them if I remember right it’s $20 a person. I could have sworn I took video of the guy talking to us about the tour and the price, but I could not find it.
