Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend using this as your Excursion we looked at so many other things to do here in town and they were very overpriced in my opinion

this is a um very nice authentic French restaurant um which is in itself a little bit of a red flag but it's terrific though really really nice we recommend this

I have never achieved what he did today well actually he did it yesterday but the reward was given today with the new app you're able to interact with the Wake show

we won our panoramic suite upgrade from a freaking Ocean View cabin are you kidding me so now I'm researching what that even means

Creator's Tips & Advice

Close balcony curtains and lock the door in warm ports to help air conditioning work effectively
Use USB port fans for better air circulation in your cabin
For St. Thomas, book a sunset catamaran cruise well ahead of time as it sells out quickly
Watch the Wake show on Princess Channel for daily events and trivia

Fear of heights or scary rides like the SkyrideIt can be terrifying, but it's manageable; focus on the view and try to stay calm
Overpaying for excursions in portResearch prices beforehand and compare with ship offerings; the Skyride was same price as booking through ship

YouTube Video Description

The Sky Princess is in the port of St Thomas today and we are taking the Skyride up to Paradise Point to take in the views and have a nice lunch at the top. Come explore with us! After the day in port we head to Bistro Sur La Mer for dinner, one of the best specialty dining meals I think I've ever had on a cruise ship. I am sad to report that this venue has been replaced and is no longer an option. At the end of the night we got some exciting news about the cruise coming up next with Royal Caribbean! Thanks for spending the day with us and we will see you tomorrow in St Maarten.
