We were in St. Thomas on our first cruise and enjoyed Coral World so much, we decided to go back and see more of it.  Unfortunately, our time was once again very short and we only got to see a small portion of the park.  On the good side, the water was much clearer this trip and the underwater tower gave us a good view of the ocean.

One of the more interesting things about St. Thomas is that both times we had open buses to take us around the island.  The views from the open buses were beautiful and being out in the open gave us a good feel toward the island.  On the other hand, it was very disconcerting to look down to our feet and see the drop off of several hundred feet!
