We hung out with Steve and Cindy on this excursion. The water was pretty calm except for when a boat when through like this one.

We are headed to the beach down there.

Off on our excursion! The taxi driver let me sit up front in the cab! Susan took this one; Looking down on the ship

First stop, Atrium Bar for Starbucks! Heading to the buffet for a quick bite before our excursion. Gorgeous Sunrise!

Susan drooling over the Viva's drop slide Why did we park facing out to sea? The entrance is so far away when that happens.

Had to have another Root Beer! We were chilling till time to head to the ferry. Ferry ride across the water!

Trunk Bay does have a concessions stand. We were hungry for lunch, so Susan went and got food as I recovered from my 4th snorkeling swim. our shade tent that we rented Ranch Burger with Guacamole Susan got a Hot Dog. This Root Beer was so good! Beach got a lot busier. We were tired and ready to go, so we packed up, returned the rental, washed off our feet, used the restroom, then headed for a taxi. We arrived back in Cruz Bay and went exploring at the different shops. We picked up a calendar. local wildlife!

Trunk Bay has an underwater snorkel trail. There are signs underwater. It's really cool!

Then it was time to snorkel again! We went out to Trunk Bay with another family on the ship. The daughter Mel went out snorkeling with me. It a great day for a float in the Virgin Islands!

I came in to relax a bit.

Trunk Bay in Virgin Islands National Park We rented a shade tent and a chair for Susan. Notice that the beach is empty! Benefit of getting there early! Time for some snorkeling! Susan enjoying her time in the shade

We were one of the first off the ship as we were heading out to St. John and Virgin Islands National Park. At the ferry dock at Red Hook Big Red Barge car ferry leaving right before we depart We passed them! Arriving into St. John Once we exited the terminal, we jumped on a taxi out to Trunk Bay.
