Best excursion ever! St. Thomas

[dvcnewgirl]

We just got back from sailing the Ruby Princess on January 13. I am usually a Disney cruiser so I wanted to share with all of my Disboard friends that we went on the best excursion ever in St. Thomas. We went on Blackbeard's revenge pirate boat. We booked it for our 2 children (9.6). Fun was had by all. Great music, sailing and people on that boat. It was so much fun. Snorkeling with the turtles was wonderful and the guide was great. I never think much about excursions but this one was wonderful so I wanted to share.

Awesome!! Is this the same as the half day doubloon on Disney? Looks like it may be.

How did your kids do snorkeling and how was the ride as far as bumpy seas?
Thanks so much!

The sea was a little bumpy, not bad. The kids loved it. My daughter was personally shown around by Riki the guide she is 9. My son did not love snorkeling he hates salt water. He wanted to go back in about 10 minutes. I was heading back to the boat with him and the captain asked why I was ready to come back so quick, after telling him about my son he said he would keep an eye on him. He had made a friend on the boat (from the kids club) they played and I finished snorkeling. I know some people would not do that but I could see him on the boat so I knew he was fine.

Awesome, thanks for the info!! I have kids the same age, so great to hear a first-hand report. Hope you had a great cruise!
