 | St. Thomas General Tips | Tips 1 - 10 of 33 |  |
We had a wonderful experience in St. Thomas. The people were so friendly from the cab driver, the store clerks, the waitress in the restaurants and the local people on the street. We had so much fun talking to people and getting the local sugestions on shops and restaurants. The shop clerks were all nice especialy the shop that we bought my Breitling at. The sales clerk actually came around the counter to hug me and wish me happiness with the watch. She even took a picture of Liz and I.
These friendly people made our trip to St. Thomas even more special. No wonder Liz's uncles live here...the people are great! Leave a Comment

St. Thomas was more than I had hoped for. The island was beautiful and the weather was perfect. The people were friendly and nice. The food was outrageously delicious. The shopping was great.
I loved being in a new place with Liz. I enjoyed waking around the island, sightseeing, shopping and enjoying a fabulous lunch. Leave a Comment

On Board the cruise ship they have an internet cafe to keep you connected to school, work or loved ones. The cafe has a number of workstations available for use. You can also bring your own laptop and use their WI-FI service. Liz always needs to have internet access since she is in school and brings her homework with her wherever we go.
The internet pricing is $.55 a minute or you can buy a package. We always buy a package. The package rates are: $28 for 60 minutes, $38 for 90 minutes or $55 for 150 minutes.
WI-FI areas of the ship aren't always very good. We seems to have the best connectionin the Schooner Bar. Be aware the connection is very slow and can be frustrating to use. Leave a Comment

 Blackbeard Ale...a not so
local beer... by Cabana_Boy
What do the locals drink, what beer is most popular, which beer is hardest to find, does it come in a half pint glass just like grandma used to drink…or better still, a full pint glass like I drink??? These are all good questions that need to be answered...
There only appears to be one beer brewed in the U.S.V.I., Blackbeard Ale. However, if you get a hold of a bottle of Blackbeard Ale the label suggests something sinister is afoot. Although St. Croix is “advertised” on the label, the small print indicates it is actually brewed in Minnesota. Ah, a poser…sort of…apparently the “real” Blackbeard Ale is brewed in Christiansted, St. Croix, but the bottled version is done in Minnesota and has nothing to do with the Chrisiansted version.
Unfortunately, Blackbeard Ale wasn’t around when I was in St. Croix, but I did try the bottled version while in St. Thomas in 2003. Although the bottled version wasn’t bad, its taste really didn’t fit the Caribbean well and Karl switched beers after just one bottle of Blackbeard’s…I hope the “real” Blackbeard Ale on St. Croix is a better reflection of the character it portrays. Fortunately for me, several bars had my favorite Caribbean beer, El Presidente (a DR beer), and I was spared the agony of drinking something out of character. Leave a Comment
