The only good thing I heard was people who went scuba diving and snorkling, they said it was beautiful. But other than that, I would never choose that itinerary. Fredericksted (where you dock) is very run down and not that much to do. The public beach there was full of broken glass, broken shells, and dirty....not many people went there.

On a good note (which I learned from cast members) is that apparently some of the Disney crew members volunteer their time to community service to help out. The island was damaged a great deal by a hurricane a few years back and they are trying to boost the economy.

We still had a great trip. Disney Magic was everywhere.

thanks for the report.
