Carnivale's pretty fun overall. My favorite was the food fest and the Children's Parade. Honestly,…read morethe food fest was awesome. Had a grilled stuffed lobster, pumpkin Johnny Cake, a shark pate, cake, pea ball, guava pie, coquito, mauve, and fruit drinks. It's all just awesome eating. The parades are really slow moving. Super slow. They have these spots where they stop and perform so both parades take hours. Bring a fold-out chair and bring either an umbrella, hat or both as it gets super hot. I got slightly sunburned on my arms and almost on the back of my neck. Also be forewarned that a lot of restaurants close down the weekend of Carnivale.

Oh Carnivale! What a…read morepleasant surprise it was to come in to St Thomas on a two weeks trip and run into the Carnival. Talk about a party town. Oh so fun Carnival go on every year from April 26th- 28th. Thursday is usually the practice day, Children parade on Friday and the final shebang~ Adult parade and fireworks on Saturday. It is pure madness. Pro~ non stop, all day dancing and partying fun in the streets of Charlotte, Amalie. Carnival village at the end with tons of food,drinks, ferris wheel and live bands. Con~ Every shops (diamond, gold, restaurants) in town is closed to participate in this Carnival. Only a very few restaurants are open (of course, non local food from non local people). Carnival village at the end of the parade is pretty darn good. We had Barbados fly fish( its a big deal here) since they only come over to St Thomas during carnival time. A tons of rum bars with $5 rums, pina coladas, pain killers, bushwhackers and all. Lots of fried chicken, fried fish, popcorn, candy, curries, stews. You name it, there's a little shop/hut/truck for it. Getting in and out of Charlotte, Amalie is not only hard but impossible after 8 pm. We were staying in the Marriot Frenchman and caught one of the very few taxis back. But overall, it was so much fun. All day of eating, walking, taking pictures and just enjoying the carnival. What else can you ask for??? :)

The museum guide lady was very helpful and answered any questions that was needed. It's actually a small museum but we stayed there a bit longer than most. They had a hurricane simulator booth which we had fun with. Also had a gift shop which I picked up a St.Thomas Christmas ornament. To take back home for my Christmas tree. We enjoyed our visit. I recommend checking them out if this is your sort of thing.

This was better than I thought! Came here as a combo ticket with the skylift (found no savings by…read morebuying the combo). The museum starts either a quick video explaining what you're about to see. Then the doors open and you walk into a well done exhibit hall. Exhibits include vases, weapons, tools and coins found from various shipwrecks. The centerpiece is the Odyssey which is an in underwater robot used to collect artifacts. There is a second floor accessible by a slow elevator or stairs which tells a little bit about some of the pirates in the area. There are a few photo spots, hands on exhibits and a hurricane simulator with wind speeds up to 75 mph. I felt the $20 admission fee was reasonable compared to the $30 for the skylift. The museum is located next to the skylift and about a 15 minute walk from the cruise ships.

Seriously, this place is freaking awesome! When you're shopping your way through the fifty…read morethousand jewelry stores in Charlotte Amalie, you get really hot between the heat and the humidity, so Magic Ice is like a little slice of heaven, I want to preface this by saying I've been to Minus 5 in Las Vegas where you pay $37 to hang out in a bar made of ice and have a couple of drinks... but don't even think of bringing your own camera in there. Magic Ice is completely different and better in so many ways! First, Magic Ice is not just a bar made of ice, it's an ice museum with a large collection of ice sculptures. You walk through the collection of ice sculptures that are lit with colored lights AND YOU CAN TAKE AS MANY PHOTOS AS YOU WANT! In the middle of the museum of ice there is a large ice bar shaped like a pirate ship where you get a shot of rum. You can choose to buy more drinks if you want to, the first shot is included in the $20 entrance fee. AND, there is a slide! I wussed out and skipped the ice slide, but the husband had fun going down it. It is super cold in there... obviously, but they give you a big hooded cape and leg warmers and gloves to keep you warm. My toes still froze in my flip flops, though! The bartender told us that these particular sculptures were carved all the way back in November, so they last some time. There was some melting that had taken place on some and he said it was about time when they are going to be redoing them now. It's really an awesome experience. If you are in St. Thomas, seriously, do this. We had a lot of fun in there goofing around and taking photos. I highly recommend Magic Ice! I want to go back!

It's actually not that big and we were done walking around the entire ice bar within a minute.

It's a combination between a rum bar and an art gallery, so it has a wide variety of options here. They had such a great variety of rum to taste - you could choose one of the pre-picked flights, customize your own flight, or even enjoy a rum-based cocktail. They had so many great rums from both the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean at large, especially ones that we wouldn't have been able to find at home. The rum sommelier was so incredibly knowledgeable about all the rums, tailored our tastings to our preferences, and was able to provide a wide breadth of information to everything we tried regardless of if it was on a pre-made flight or not. Highly recommend stopping here, whether you're a rum expert or just looking to try some of the local rum.

When we left, we were surprised that we'd spent about an hour and a half in the relatively small space. You'll see artifacts from native peoples, learn about the sea life, watch a video about the lighthouse on Culebrita, and hear about how the US Navy presence affected residents. Miss Sonia informed us of what we were looking at and gave us additional tidbits of knowledge from a local teacher's perspective. Your $1 donation goes to the Fundación de Culebra so they can continue preserving the island and informing others. A great and worthy cause! Visiting this museum will make the rest of your time on this island paradise so much more rewarding.
