Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on the icon of the Seas and today we are visiting St Thomas in the Virgin Islands it's my first time visiting

this was a great experience and because I experienced this with someone else first if I came back and wanted to do this tour again I would actually feel comfortable enough doing it again as a solo

the view was amazing from here you could see several different islands all at once it was breathtaking

I love the flo Fiesta from the bar L local fresh yeah I'm sorry it's just a no from me

Team up with other solo cruisers or connect through meetups for third-party excursions
