Carnival Conquest 2 Day 5: St Croix USVI

Posted by on August 27, 2026
A snorkel excursion(?) in St Croix

It took all night to travel 45 miles. We must have been doing circles in the ocean.

We had breakfast then went ashore in Frederiksted, St Croix. I couldn’t recall whether I had been here before but once on shore I remembered: I was here many years ago with Jett. The town was forgettable then and remains so now. There is NOTHING here. Perhaps this would be a good place for an excursion. Maybe next time.

Actually, some people we met on the ship tried to do an island tour but sat in the open-air bus for nearly 30 minutes while the driver tried to find 4 more people to fill the bus. People got tired of waiting so while he tried to find 4 more, 8 people left. He needs to take a course on optimizing revenue.

Waiting for comedy

Marlene did some shopping, without success. We were back on the ship for lunch.

We played cards after lunch. Two wins for Marlene, 1 for me. The usual ratio.

We also spent some time in the casino and, as usual, I lost.

We went to a comedy show after dinner. Pretty funny, but an otherwise quiet evening.
