Wanted to give a quick update...
I guess something happened to one of the engines on the ship, so we're crusing along a bit slower than intended. We're getting into Bermuda a bit late and leaving slightly earlier so that we can make it back to NYC by Tuesday morning.
I only hope to make it to the beach in Bermuda and swim in the ocean there! Wish me luck!
Tonight at Skywalker's was jumpin'! I had the floor packed the entire night from 11:30p to 3:15a! Played all types of music and really got into a zone. Special Thanks goes out to my muse, she knows who she is ;-)
I even got through a page worth of crazy requests!!!!
Two more nights then back to L.A.
Ok, off to bed now... it is almost 5am!!!!!

ST. THOMAS, USVI
Last night at Skywalker's Nightclub was a little quiet. More than likely because people were tired from their day in San Juan and this morning, we got into St. Thomas at 7am!
Really tired today, so I'm planning on going back and sleeping until I have to work again tonight.
Right now, I'm sitting in a cool little coffee/food shop right off the ship having a turkey sandwich and some iced tea.
This is my view from where I'm sitting:
Hoping to iChat with Tee again, but with the time difference, I just don't know if we'll link up! I have to be back on the ship by 2:00p, so that's only an hour away from now!!!!
The weather is awesome here. Tropical as can be. Feels about 82 degrees with a nice breeze and party cloudy. It's even drizzling every few minutes! Reminds me of Hawaii and my honeymoon! Love it, love it.
Again, hanging out with DJ Zap from the ship. Good times, good conversations with a fellow DJ. He's from Ottawa, Canada, so it's great to hear about his stomping grounds and exciting to tell him about mine.
Off to Bermuda next. Not sure if I'm going to have interwebs over there, so I may not be able to update until I return!!!!!
I uploaded a few new pictures from yesterday's stop in San Juan as well. Some night shots of the ship and a couple shots from the entrance to Skywalker's Nightclub, so GO CHECK THEM OUT CLICK HERE!

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
In San Juan, Puerto Rico again today. Hanging out with DJ Zap (also a DJ from the ship). Went to Starbucks, got me a coffee frap with whip (yummy). Hooked up wi-fi there, which was FREE by the way... I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE STATES ARE SO HUNG UP ON CHARGING EVERYONE FOR FRIGGIN' WI-FI! We need to loosen up over there! Didn't have power there, so once Zap's computer went dead, we packed up and headed to a cool little spot called Cafe Berlin. They actually give you the password for their wi-fi!!! Amazing! Good food also!
Got to iChat with Teemaree for a while and that WAS DOPE!!!
Heading back soon to the ship to get some sleep and then get back to work tonight. Rocked the club last night and hoping for the same tonight!
Me in San Juan today:
CAFE BERLIN
AND OF COURSE, DYNAMITE JIVE IS ALWAYS REPRESENTIN' WORLDWIDE:
New VLOGs
Here's a few vids that I haven't had a chance to upload until now:

UPDATE FROM GRAND TURK
What's good people. I'm in Grand Turk today. I have been trying to upload a few videos, but I'm having problems with that, so it doesn't look like I'll get them up until I get into San Juan tomorrow. I'm thinking I have to make the files smaller. I'll figure it out!
It was a rough night on the high seas. We hit some crazy weather and the ship was on major rock&roll mode. Put it this way, I had to work on keeping my footing while spinning last night! And there weren't many people dancing because people kept almost falling!
It was an early night, which I was happy for because I'm not feeling very well and I wanted to get some sleep! More than likely going to hit up the Dr. on the ship and get some sort of antibiotics or something. Too much smoke in the club every night and now it's gone from my chest to my sinuses!!! Damnit!!!!
It's a breezy day here in Grand Turk. The power keeps going out at the shops, but it comes back on pretty quickly. I had a smoothie at this shop called "Froots" and sat online there for a while and downloaded a few songs that they need on the ship for a wedding that's coming up.
Went to Margaritaville here and picked up a cool magnet for the fridge at home. They have a pool there and a DJ who was playing games with all the people there. It was good times. I took some pics that I will upload at my next stop.
Speaking of pictures. I have uploaded a grip of new pics for you to check out, so please go to the photogallery and enjoy: CLICK HERE
Here I am chilling online and typing out this BLOG
I was hoping to iChat with my baby Teemaree today, but she was hustling and bustling, so our video conference will have to wait another day. Man, do I miss her and the kids.
Aight, that's it for now. See ya in San Juan!

DYNAMITE JIVE IS HEARD IN PUERTO RICO!
Came across a music shop. Dude was bumpin' Reggaeton, but I figured I gotta slide him some BAGADOPE and tell him to hand that sh*t out to the peops of Puerto Rico!
Dude that was running the shop didn't seem too into it. But he was a nice guy and who knows, maybe he'll get it into the hands of some Hip Hop heads out there!
DYNAMITE JIVE REPPIN' ALL AROUND THE WORLD Y'ALL!
On the streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico

FIRST NIGHT @ SKYWALKER'S VIDEO
Here's a quickie vid from the first night up at the club.
Since this night, I have been playing the "Classic Rock" set EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! "Don't Stop Believing", "Living on a Prayer", "Mony Mony"... never fails to get all the older folks out and dancing - which is my job.
I'll do this at the beginning of the night and I have to tell all the younger kids that come up and say, "Are you gonna play Hip Hop?", that I have to put these folks to bed first, then we can rock the spot right!!!
It's actually kind of cool because I made a playlist called "Rock on Bro" and I have been collecting songs in there now for just this purpose! Funny funny stuff!
I've also made the "Make it Rain" playlist... cuz if I hear one more request for "Lollipop", I'ma kill someone!! hahaha. So I basically get all the kids with their drink and their 2-step, and we rock that set for a minute! "Shoulder Lean", "Pop, Lock, and Drop It", etc.
I also have a Party just Party playlist now that contains such classics as "Feeling Hot Hot Hot", "Conga", and some song I didn't even know existed called, "The Cuban Shuffle". Needless to say, this stuff gets the floor packed and even the kids get involved!!!
Good times, people, good times!

CARIBBEAN, HERE I COME!
Nothing like waiting until the morning of to really finish packing! Tee called me a 'diva' because I took all these bags. I guess she's right. But it is a 2-week trip!
So, off I went to the airport! Thanks Tee for driving me.
Went to check my 2 bags. Realized it's 1 bag free, then $25 for each additional bag. Forget that! I checked one and carried on the other and my backpack!
Got to my seat - WINDOW Y'ALL!
A few minutes later...
Here's a few pics I took along the way...
Are those crop circles???
I believe that this was the Mississippi River!
At about this point, I paid $4.00 for cheese and crackers. I feared being charged to use the restroom, so I just held it until I landed.
Sunset from the plane. What a sight!
Finally made it to NYC at about 9:50pm (EST). About a mile walk to baggage claim, but I saw this, which was comforting...
Saw D.L. Hughley while on my way to baggage claim - he was on my plane! Asked for a pic, but he was tired from the trip. No biggie, he was a nice guy either way!
Got my bag, another walk to the AirTrain, which took me to the Hotel Shuttle area, which I took over to the Holiday Inn JFK.
The room's not half bad...
Went downstairs and ate an appetizer of calamari, hot wings, and moosa-rella sticks!!! It was 'just ok'
Overall, it's been a great travel day and I'm looking forward to getting some sleep and heading out to the ship tomorrow morning.
(These are only select pictures for this post. I will be putting ALL of my pics up on a gallery soon. I'll post the link once that's available.)

I've been booked to DJ at Skywalker's Nightclub, which is aboard the beautiful Caribbean Princess. The trip leaves from NYC on June 13, travels to the Caribbean, and returns on July 1. The passengers aboard the cruise will be dancing to my mixes every night during the trip. I may even bless a pool party or two! Ya never know!This is my first cruise and my first time to the Caribbean, so I'm really excited about it.
Look for pictures and video to be posted here on the official Tony J. World BLOG, as well as a Journal of my adventures!
