We ate lunch at High Tide today and watched Red Hook 1 leave around 1pm, Cruz Bay 1 left about 2 pm, and Red Hook 1 returned about 2:20. Each time, they had real passengers. Time will tell if it is only for Carnival or if they are finally operating a regular schedule.

Re: New Ferry Spotted
Someone needs to post the first trip report on their voyage across Pillsbury Sound on one of the new ferries! Do the seats really fully recline? Was the galley fare up to your expectations? Is there one big flat screen display, or does each seat have their own? How was the wi-fi?
All the best,

I just looked at the SPICE CAM and BOTH of them are parked side by side at the dock. Now if they can just get all the car barges up and running!

Re: New Ferry Spotted
We actually got to try it out when we left the island July 6 We sat inside so that I could report back to the forum - I'll post photos later. The seats are plush but they do not recline. There are 4 TVs, all of which were tuned to Bill Cosby Show reruns. A/C was cranking. No food or beverages, sorry to report. But, then again, not really time to imbibe. From leaving the dock in St. John to docking at Red Hook was a quick 12 minutes. Nice ride - smooth and quiet.
