Hi Matthew.Beautiful day to enjoy the beach.Looks like a great place to chill and relax.You weren't kidding when you said you were hungry.Wishing tomorrow will be another great day.Thanks for sharing.
Feed any iguanas you run into with hibiscus flowers, red ones especially, that's why if you're wearing red they might come up to you and try to chew on your shirt. My best friend's dad owned the largest dump truck on St. Thomas during the time they were moving the Eastern mountain to off the Western end of the runway extending it. His driver was dropping a load off the end, lost control and jumped out just in time to see it sink into the end of the runway. Time, resources, etc dictated that they just keep going. So when you land there, you are landing on a dump truck. My family of 6 including 2 of my grandparents were scheduled on the American Airlines flight that crashed on the island in 1976 running into a Shell gas station at the end of the short runway. My mom had a dream, and rescheduled us for a week earlier with all the work and changes made for dad's 3 stores to run for 2 weeks. We were at Magens when it crashed. A call went out for the 2nd most rare blood, AB-, which my father had. My dad said he wasn't taking time out from his vacation to donate blood. Read the karma my dad died to on that island 14 years after that crash, in this book with links below. I've probably been on more cruise ships than anyone reading this, yet never been on a cruise. My dad ran a ship chandlery that had a monopoly on selling liquor to the cruise ships in the early '80s, that I used to spend my afternoons after school doing my homework at, that was located at the last building on the Havensite dock (has Senior Frogs painted on its roof). After growing up on the island and starting when I was 17 in late 1986, we used to roam Charlotte Amalie downtown streets at night bar hopping Coconuts, Rosie O'Grady's, The Ritz, Yesterdays, then to the Greenhouse at 10pm for the current live band, when everyone was partying in the islands. Since the bars closed at 2 AM we would go out to steal cars, usually rentals, and race across the island, afterward sometimes stripping them for parts. I've floored it in a brand new 1987 Accord LXi from the Fort all the way to Frenchtown one night easily doing 100mph, which was not unusual to do with stolen cars but sometimes done even with the ones we sort of cared about. One night I was with a few locals and we got pulled over for racing into Frenchtown. The cop went to arrest one of us and he started skipping around the car in a circle repeatedly singing, "Haha you can't catch me!" to the cop. He made it a couple times around the car and we had to bail him out that night. I hold the record for most boats stolen in one night while alone; three - I took them to a birthday party.

I just went to Megan’s bay beach a few days ago and I thought that was so ghetto they make their guests drag the beach chairs around.. we are supposed to be on vacation lol not working.. I think they should do it like Florida and have the chairs set up already and they have someone man the chairs, and when someone sits in them they go up to them and collect the fee.. so much easier. They can keep track by putting the umbrella up after payment.
Great footage on Megan Bay. Just wish they had more food and drink options there. The Skyride to Paradise Point right by the cruise port is cool too. But you had similar views coming home from the beach.
Great shots, especially the drone video. Was in St Thomas a few years back on a cruise and went to Magen’s Bay. Did you see the iguanas? A lot of them on the beach when we were there, but you’re not supposed to feed them. Also have pics from that viewpoint you stopped at. Great port.
The beach was beautiful! I went to a beach that was part of some Marriott hotel. Cant remember the name. Ship looks pretty old. I went on the Norwegian Escape.
WOW! So Far St. Thomas looks beautiful and Magens beach is amazing and I was surprised at how clear the ocean was and the crowed wasn't bad on the beach since y'all went earlier which was nice to see. Glad to hear the food on the cruise has been good so far overall and that y'all are enjoying the trip. How have you and Amanda been doing and glad she was able to come with you on the trip buddy:)
Oh gosh. I’m at St Thomas in 2023, Magens bay is must view beach. How easy was it to get a taxi back to the port? Did you prebook it? I’m traveling with my adult daughter, so am a little anxious.
they say secret sands is best beach on St. Thomas but TBH this looks better. You didn't want to take shore excursion to St. John and see Trunk Bay? It's been a life long dream of mine to see it.
@@SayHiToMatthew yeah it's kind of bad when you're kind of looking forward to eating some fancy food that you've never tried before. And it's disgusting the buffet and dining room were lame. I still had fun though LOL
Pee in the water and see how fast the fish cover your private 😂 from high up with a drone or helicopter THE BEACH SHAPE LIKE A HEART GO TO COKI BEACH ITS REAL CLEAR TOO.
Hey man, You came to my neighborhood! Next time come to Water Island. Just a short ferry ride from ST THOMAS. TripAdvisor.com number one Beach Bar and grill Dinghys. Great Video buddy!👍😁

I was there while in the Navy in 1963 and had the whole beach to myself!
Beautiful water and so nice hearing from Amanda.
Heading to St Thomas in January on Icon of the Seas looks like Magen’s Bay will need to be a stop
Yeah! Let me know what you think of it. Have fun

Great video. Was in St. Thomas back in 2011. Need to get back there ASAP!
Ya!

It is always amazing to watch you eat. You and my friend Brian would get a long well with all the food you end up eating.
Lol food is life
Damn that water looked beautiful! Especially with the drone view!
ya it came it so nice!
@@SayHiToMatthew hey man, what kind of drone do you use?
Matt N this was Mavic Pro 1 but i just got the Mavic Air 2 now!
I love St Thomas! Coki beach is good for snorkeling on your own. 🐠🐟🐡
I was going to go there if i didn't go here
Last year I swam with two turtles 🐢 for almost an hour thats my favorite beach ⛱
That’s awesome!
Beautiful beach and such clear waters!
Very beautiful beach. Love how clear the water is. Thank you both for sharing.
So nice!
I thought there was bar and restaurant on Magens bay?? We'll be sailing on Symphony of the Seas in May..
Megan's Bay, where I was 20 feet from a shark, lots of small fish too...furthest to the right when facing the bay
really wow I didn't thing they go there
I want to visit St Thomas as well. Seems amazing. Only Caribbean island I've been too is Curacao.
Great footage on Megan Bay. Just wish they had more food and drink options there. The Skyride to Paradise Point right by the cruise port is cool too. But you had similar views coming home from the beach.
Ya they could use more food there but over all amazing
Once and relaxing day
I’m in awe of your appetite. Burrito, two burgers, fries, half a pizza and then get ready for dinner. 🌯🍕🍔🍔🍟
Haha i love food
I so want to hit up a cruise again, this was my favorite cruise by far, molten lava cake for the win, buffet only for breakfast
Ya very true. I only had it for breakfast
Once again, another great video! Looking forward to meeting you in Vegas Sept 29th!
See you then!
Great shots, especially the drone video. Was in St Thomas a few years back on a cruise and went to Magen’s Bay. Did you see the iguanas? A lot of them on the beach when we were there, but you’re not supposed to feed them. Also have pics from that viewpoint you stopped at. Great port.
Thanks!
I didn't see any iguanas here.
I'm curious about that buffet now...🤔
Beautiful day🏝

@@SayHiToMatthew That's awesome to hear u and Amanda are great and yeah it was and your welcome buddy:)
Outstanding video! Really enjoyed it!!

I was at Magens Bay about 7 years ago, and it was much busier. Anyway, I was disappointed by the lack of a bad pun, LOL.
lol sorry
Really great vlog! That water was so clear!
thanks it was amazing
Oh gosh. I’m at St Thomas in 2023, Magens bay is must view beach. How easy was it to get a taxi back to the port? Did you prebook it?
I’m traveling with my adult daughter, so am a little anxious.
it was very easy. I think they have them waiting there if I remember correctly
Beautiful beach.
So nice!
Great drone views
Matthew - How long did you spend at the beach? What would you suggest the minimum to enjoy it? Thanks!
GREAT BEACH THANKS
That opening beach shot was 🔥🔥🔥
I love it
they say secret sands is best beach on St. Thomas but TBH this looks better. You didn't want to take shore excursion to St. John and see Trunk Bay? It's been a life long dream of mine to see it.
Didn’t even know about that maybe next time
Looks awesome if I ever see u in Vegas guarantee I got way better jokes just hook it up with some doughnuts at your favorite spot going in May
I saw you eating a guy’s burger! Yum!
so good
Beautiful.
Great video.
Thanks
Beautiful Amanda and Matthew
I went on a princess Cruise in April the food was so unimpressive. We ended up eating burgers and pizza just like you.
Can't go wrong with that
@@SayHiToMatthew yeah it's kind of bad when you're kind of looking forward to eating some fancy food that you've never tried before. And it's disgusting the buffet and dining room were lame. I still had fun though LOL
