Virgin’s Haven
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
After a delightful day in St. Thomas, my girlfriend, an island resident and I were about to return to our cruise ship. We had just spent a fun-filled couple of hours after work and she decided to treat me to a visit to the Virgin’s Haven bar, located at the bustling Havensight cruise ship pier.
The bartender at Virgin’s Haven was a true character, her personality as vibrant as the labels on the local rums she used to craft her signature Cruzan Confusion cocktail. This spirited drink, a mix of five rums and juices, was aptly named. It was so potent that they didn’t even need to enforce a drink limit — who could possibly order a second after that?
One would expect the perfect “virgin” drink in the Virgin Islands and Virgin’s Haven did not disappoint. Our banana daiquiri with two cherries was a sweet, satisfying end to our time at the bar, leaving me content and ready to return to the cruise ship.

WHAM!
The unexpected sound that jolted me out of bed and onto the floor of my cabin, as my cruise ship collided with an island in the Mediterranean still sends shivers down my spine.
The terror of the unexpected shipwreck (a result of some significant Cruisin’ Confusion due to the negligence of the Safety Officer on duty) added to the confusion, making our rescue later that morning even more dramatic.
