Creator's Key Takeaways

A cruise day is better than a work day any day.

Would I buy them again? No. And I'm a lover of donuts. I'm a donut connoisseur, but I wouldn't buy them again on the Carnival Cruise.

We enjoyed Coino de Capitano so much the first night we decided, hey, let's do it again.

It was oddly satisfying watching them take down this Christmas tree.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have a plan or book an excursion when visiting St. Thomas.
Don't rely on winging it in port, as options are limited.

YouTube Video Description

We open the 2026 cruise season in the beautiful port of St Thomas, USVI. While we did ring in the new year on the Lido deck, we took our time getting off this ship this morning. We had no plans in port and considering there were 46 jewelry stores and 87 trinket souvenir stores, we were back on board early. After another great dinner at Cucino del Capitano, we laughed hard at the Family Feud game show and got a weird pleasure of watching the staff take down the Christmas tree in the atrium. Watch and experience this day with us! Intro theme “The Jolly Cruise Vlogger” written by @pandbswideworldofports Patrick Gribben. Music by Suno.

About The Jolly Cruise Vlogger: I enjoy exploring the world through cruising. Currently have 18 cruises sailed and always have 2-3 more booked to look forward to. I get great joy out of seeking the less popular ships, ports, or things to do on the ship and letting you know that there is so much more to explore than you first think. We release a new cruise vlog every Saturday morning at 9:00 am EST. And sometimes through the week when important events happen.
