Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document a day on the Norwegian Aqua as the ship sails into St. Thomas. They begin by enjoying breakfast in the observation lounge and at the Starbucks, noting the panoramic views of the mountains. The video follows their participation in a Red Collection excursion titled Turtles and Tacos, which they describe as an ultra luxury experience costing 230 dollars per person. After a boat ride on a catamaran, they engage in snorkeling and observe a spotted stingray and a turtle. The excursion concludes with a taco meal on the boat. Later, the creators dine in the Hudson's main dining room, where they express high satisfaction with the food quality, specifically praising the pot stickers and chicken cordon bleu. They conclude the evening by attending a comedy show in the Aqua Theater and reviewing their schedule for the following day, which involves an early arrival in Tortola.

Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the best meal we've had of the entire cruise so far.

I think I would do the pizza excursion that we did last time over this one.

I'm going to get a MDR tattoo.

The pizza was easier to eat. Something crazy is the pizza excursion was $109 per person. This um tacos excursion was $240 per person.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Wear sunscreen to avoid getting it in your eyes.
βœ“Consider renting a car for a day in Oahu to explore the North Shore.
