  1. I was on a Princess cruise once that stopped in St. Thomas. We went on an excursion to Maegan's Bay. We were transported in these oversized mini buses and if you've ever been to the island the roads are very narrow and curvy. Well after our time at Maegan's Bay we are set to leave and our driver starts up the road. One of his fellow drivers passes by us and, in a fit of excitement presumably for seeing a friend, our driver abruptly slams on the brakes. This was funny in itself because it was as if he forgot he even had passengers, but what happened next was like out of a movie. Our driver proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse and, without looking at all, floor it. Of course there happened to be a poor woman in a small car almost right behind us (I'm sure the abrupt stop was why she was less than a foot away). I heard a loud crunch and everyone on the bus kinda screamed. I look back and our bus has literally mounted the hood of the car behind us. We're a good 2 feet onto the hood. The frightened driver of the car gets out to assess the damage. The best part of all? Our driver jogs over to his friend driving the other bus to say hello. After talking to him he comes back to the bus, starts it up, hits the gas (as we not so smoothly come down off the woman's bumper) and proceed up the road never having talked at all with the woman! Our driver not only never made reference to the accident (as if it never happened) but proceeded to drive like a bat out of hell! We survived and he even asked us when we got back to the dock whether we had a nice time or not!
