Tuesday we docked at Fredericksted in St. Croix, where Jon had reserved us a car so we went and got it and drove to Cane Bay for some sun, snorkel time, and sand. Afterwards we drove into Cristiansted and found a restaurant by the wharf and had some awesome Habanero chicken wings. 
I'll say one thing for St. Croix - it has a 2-lane highway where you can actually reach speeds over 55 mph, something that is almost physically impossible in the other USVI's. I liked St. Croix. The people were friendly and while it doesn't have the money that St. Thomas or St. John has, you can find nice places to visit and to stay.
We returned the jeep and were back on board by 4pm - the boat left dock promptly at 6 and sloooooooooowly made its way to St. Thomas. St. Thomas was just next door so we went at a snail's pace.
Tuesday Night was Pirates night - a Disney Cruise tradition that involves dressing up like pirates and drinking like one. Brenden got to wear his pirate costume from Halloween and he was happy. He had taken a nap so we actually made it to dinner that night. He also managed to stay up for the fireworks. Before dinner we discovered a deejay playing kids music in one of the lounges and all the little folks had their boogie shoes on. Brenden didn't really dance, but he ran around like a maniac. If there's one thing that Disney is good for, it's finding places and situations for little kids to run around like maniacs.
