- Welcome to St. Thomas... we've got twelve hours in port, so we're finally going to St. John! Join us as we catch the ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay in hopes of some snorkeling excitement at Trunk Bay, only to have those plans changed into turtle time at Maho Bay Beach... then it's time to head back to the ship for an evening of fun!! :D
(You may have noticed that we skipped over a sea day in between this episode and the last, but don't worry... that mostly-unvlogged sea day might make an appearance later in the series...)

This is a perfect day in paradise. We love finding cool things on our own, especially when it wasn’t in the original plan. Great snorkelling.
Oh and, Jay, I failed to mention years ago how impressed I am by your GoPro-filming, water-treading mode! You both rock! 🤘 Sea turtles! All of 'em!
All the turtles! Yaaassssss, Dee! Show me all your turtle friends! Majestic! Splendiferous! Turtle-rific! More sea turtles! 😍😍
I've admittedly seen ALL of your cruise vlogs, so I feel I'm justified in saying: your trip to St. John is by far your absolute best snorkeling & beach footage. By far. The water! So many stinkin' turtles! 😍 You guys know how to live your best lives. Please keep doing it! Even if Jay couldn't keep up with Dee in order to translate Snork into English... But those turtles, y'all! O. M. G. Spaces and all. Omg. 😍🤘
Love to hear you two sing an entire song.
We started as a music channel, so we've definitely got a handful of complete songs on the channel from back in the day, ha ha... but we try to tread carefully with the music copyright laws these days!! :P
Understand, thanks for the info I didn’t know that. I will gladly do some searching.
@@parodeejay ooooohhhh that is GREAT news to us. we r gonna go try to find those videos. we love your voices
I just had to look back over past videos to find out more. Loved the “Brave” video. Great singing and fab editing
Turtles! 😍 And sting rays!
So many WOW's about this video....the turtles...what were those fish getting excessively close...and WOW....Jay & Dee....Karaoke....what voices you two have!
Those fish are remora or suckerfish, and they help keep the turtles and rays clean, while also using them as a source of protection from predators, I suppose... kinda cool!! :D
Loved the Turtle footage, but your voices floored me!!! Wow!!!! 👌🏾
THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing your complete journey to St. John from the "far dock" at St. Thomas! I've asked you about this in the past and you gave me great advice, so I'm going to take your knowledge here and apply it to my goal of setting foot on yet another USVI! a THANK YOU!
That's amazing that they have a bouy that marks such a special spot. 😂
My husband and son LOVED St. Johns, they did a Carnival excursion while my daughter and I did the Tree Limon Zip Lining excursion through Carnival.
Oh SO MANY TURTLES!!! That was excellent! I loved it when you slapped the buoy, and also when Dee called you her "bae"! Great job with the duet harmonization in the Karaoke! This was a fun video❣
The duet was the best!
Many years ago, almost 27, we went to St John, with NCL, took a ship tour, they stopped the ship in front of St. John, let us out to a boat and after we did the whole island, we were taken back to St Thomas on a hydrofoil boat, interesting, Trunk Bay is supposed to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and after being there we totally agreed. Thank you for taking us back.
Aawwww what a fun comment ...thank u for sharing your memories w us all... our fam has enjoyed these adventures as well and Dee's dives....well we seem to see old turtle 😀friends as she shares her lovely footage.
Kookie Beach was amazing
Thanks for sharing your St. John experience, what an amazing day there!
Amazing video!!! Love all of the turtle footage!!! Will definitely visit that beach next time we are in St. John! Thanks for sharing!
"ROLL THAT BEAUTIFUL TURTLE FOOTAGE"!
Been to all 22yrs ago....miss them
Parrots in the Piazza reminds me of Princess Alaska cruises with Puppies in the Piazza (they let you pet them) usually in Skagway. In Juneau, Iditarod winner Libby Riddles comes on for a lecture as well as brings at least one sled dog. You really should consider Alaska cruise on Princess sometime.
That was so amazing. I was so excited to see the shark also. The turtles are so cute. Thank you for sharing and taking us on your adventure.
I went to St. John in the early 70's, and there were very few people there. You could go to any beach and have it all to yourself some days. It amazed me to see the crowds.
Dee, that was awesome!!! All those turtles & a shark sleeping too! Great video!
Awesome snorkel video!! 🐢You guys are making me want to go on all the cruises!
So glad you could get to St. John. I went to St. John a few months after hurricane Maria and saw a lot of damage and few facilities were open, glad to see they haven rebuilt.
Great video! That looks like a great beach!
By the way PLEASE post your full karaoke duet from GREASE! It was sounding soooo great and that was just a tease...
Was looking to do St John’s for my cruise this February, but it doesn’t look like we will have enough time. So thank you 🙏 your video is the only one I could find about the ferry to St John’s
That looks like an amazing excursion.
WOWZA! That was a fun full day! Love your underwater video Dee. You got to see so many things. I I liked all the events they had in that one room. You could just sit there all evening and have a wonderful time. 😊
That was an excellent sock of the day!
That was fun. Loved the turtles!🥰
Love St. Thomas as well. It is beautiful
Looked like a lot of fun. I love trivia and bingo
Wow, so many turtles. Love the videos of them, could never be too much turtle video.
I didn’t know jay owned “regular” socks lol
A great day! I really want to go to St. John. I’ll be in St. Thomas in February on the Celebration. I’ve never been to Magen’s Bay so I’m going there. Next time St. John! How nice that the couple gave you a ride! Thanks for sharing!
Loved your redirection to Maho Bay and so many turtles!! I loved Trunk Bay and exploring the underwater snorkeling trail - hope you get to go in the future!
Yay I am so glad you want to st.John my family and I when I was young we did a cruise, and then we stopped there and then we loved cinnamon bay campground, and stayed there for the rest of our Christmas until we could not do it again
Loved that y'all got to St. John. We have been there many times thru family in laws condo. Believe me you barely touched the surface of things to do. We go to Trunk Bay when no ships are port and the others on cruise ship days. Many fine restaurants, but not cheap.
Wow so many turtles
That excursion to St John's looked awesome! So cool you were able to get a ride to do some snorkeling and turtle watching! What was up with the fish 'piggy backing' the turtles? Interesting stuff! Will have to check out the Virgin Islands soon! Thinking a December 2024 trip..:)
Those fish are remora or suckerfish, and they help keep the turtles and rays clean, while also using them as a source of protection from predators, I suppose... kinda cool!! :D
You are spot on, to go to saint John on a longer day. I use to got to trunk bay all the time when I was younger. It is beautiful, hope you get there soon. They still call the Ferry Red Hook?🚢😊
Jay I would really enjoy a blog on all Dee’s snorkeling adventures.
Sorry to comment again, we did pizza for lunch one day and dinner another day, EXCELLENT!
Loved the turtle snorkeling! Those remora love a free ride 🤣. I'm on Princess in April and also stopping in St. Thomas. It's my only port I haven't scheduled anything. Any must-do items for a first-timer?
Nice! You should be at the Havensight port as well if you’re on Princess. We covered most of our ideas in a dedicated Port Guide episode actually, if you hadn’t seen that by chance. :D

@@parodeejay thanks! Will watch later tonight
Have you ever explained why the turtles have fish that attach themselves under or over the turtle shells?
I don't remember if we've ever gotten into it in a vlog, hah... Those fish are remora or suckerfish, and they help keep the turtles and rays clean, while also using them as a source of protection from predators, I suppose... kinda cool!! :D
I couldn't enjoy doing this, I would just keep thinking about sharks.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have wanted to go since my first cruise, but never had the courage to do it. What taxi do you take and which city is the ferry dock in?
If you dock at Havensight as we did, you take a taxi to the Red Hook ferry terminal. If you dock at Crown Bay, there's a ferry that runs straight from there to St. John, but the timing is usually awful, so you still might want to catch a taxi to Red Hook.
Jay, try ham, pineapple and black olives on a pizza. Mmmmmmm
I think I recognize that voice and wedding band. Are you Lucky Penny ?
We have a shorter port day there in May, so we booked a ship excursion to Trunk Bay.
Cool turtle videos. What do you use for the underwater video shoots please?
Our underwater cameras are GoPro Hero 9 Black!! :D
We’re finally doing this in a few weeks so thanks for the road map! Question on sunscreen. Reef safe (real reef safe) only. Any experience with any specific type?
After a bit of research, we ended up going with a Sun Bum variety and a Babo Botanicals that seemed a bit more delicate. Both are actually in our Amazon shop in the Health & Beauty section at the bottom, hah. They've served us well!! :D parodeejay.com/amazon/ #ad
@@parodeejay thanks for all the tips. we have a party of 5 so I'll be hearding cats to and fro! Question - what time did you leave Maho Bay to make the 4:00pm ferry? I'm guessing around 3:00? 30 minute ride or longer? Reply when able and thanks again for all the tidbits.
-paahhhhhhh-
I went on the boat ride to St John years ago and some idiot was talking so loudly that we couldn’t hear what the tour guide said.
At the National park can you use a your National Park Pass if you bring it?
From what we've read, the national park service does not charge an admission fee there at Trunk Bay, so you wouldn't need your pass. All visitors are required to pay the $5 "Expanded Amenity Fees" though.
@@parodeejay Great information thank you. Loved watching all the turtles, can’t wait to go!
What date was your cruise?
We put the date in the upper left corner at the start of every video, as well as down in the video description, just so folks can keep track! Ours was the week after Thanksgiving!! :D
22:22 Jay you continue to disappoint me.
Agreed. I don't think I can be friends with someone who has pineapple on a pizza. Sorry Jay
