Walked half an hour to Surfside Beach and the Reflexions Bar - there was some light rain on our walk but cleared by the time we arrived at the beach. 2 Sunloungers and parasol advertised at $18 but as we were off the ship we had to pay the bargain price of $20! We sat right on the waters edge which was crystal clear with golden sands. The water was calm but a little chilly.
Toasted sandwiches for lunch at Reflexions cost $6 each and Beer was $5 - not overly friendly staff - whilst we were having lunch in their bar they removed our towels and pegs from our loungers and sold the loungers to someone else!! We spoke to the lounger girl and asked what had happened to our things - she apologised and thought we had left because we hadn't said goodbye - she got us another couple of beds and returned our towels and pegs.
Walked back to the port barefoot along the waters edge which felt romantic. Bought our port magnet and reboarded the ship - the beers were actually cheaper on the ship. We'd had more than enough sun for one day and went for a drink in the Sunset Bar for sail away - we saw a pelican fly past. We moved onto the Lido pool for the last half hour of the sail away party.
At dinner it was good to have our waiter Nelson back as he'd been ill and in quarantine for 48 hours. The waiter from the next area had been looking after us well but it had meant a lot of tables for him to cover.
After dinner we went to the theatre to see the cast show Gravity - which was good but as usual with any cast show, very frantic.
We had a fairly early night as when we walked through the Crystal Room it was very quiet tonight.
We do miss having an accessible promenade deck as we usually have a morning walk and also take a breather at the end of the evening to finish the day.
