Editorial Summary

The creator documents a day in St. Thomas while sailing on the Norwegian Escape. The day begins with a ship-organized excursion that encounters several logistical issues. Although the group enjoys swimming and observing marine life at Magens Bay, the tour suffers from a late start and a cancelled stop at Drake's Seat due to road construction. The creators also decide to skip the Sky Ride portion of the trip because they feel the timing is too tight to ensure a safe return to the ship under the protection of the excursion. After returning to the ship, they visit the shore excursions desk and successfully negotiate a partial refund for the missed components of the tour. The remainder of the day focuses on onboard activities, including exploring the buffet options, participating in a coloring activity at the Skyline Bar, and dining at the Manhattan Room. The evening concludes with entertainment at the Howl At The Moon dueling piano bar and a comedy show, followed by a summary of their experiences before preparing for a sea day.
