We decided on a beach day today and used a shared minibus at the port which cost $14 pp return to Rodney Bay Reduit Beach and pre-booked a time slot to return. Once we arrived we were offered 2 loungers and parasol for $25 and met by a guy calling himself "RightAway" 'cos he'll get it right away! Funnily enough we never saw him again once he had our money!
RightAway walked us down the beach to some of the older loungers but in a nice spot, we offered him $20 and he said no problem. He offered us wifi for a few dollars but we didn't take him up on the offer.
The Sea was beautiful and we felt very blessed to be enjoying this lovely place. We took the snorkel out again and saw some lovely fish and although we shared the snorkel we enjoyed it so much that we will definitely be buying another set when we get home.
The guys selling beer were storing them in a boat so did a bit of haggling for a decent price and got free wifi thrown in. The wifi was actually from a nearby hotel and the code didn't work but we weren't bothered anyway as we were happy to wait until we returned to port.
David bought a tropical shirt at the port for €13 as they had a half price sale and they had a good choice. Of course we added a magnet to our shopping.
The port had a few bars and drinks were cheap so many guests remained drinking in the port as it was a 10pm sailaway so no rush.
A local band boarded the ship to perform on the outside deck until it was time to leave port, but there was a poor turn out to listen to them and they got rained off for a while.
We didn't fancy the show tonight as it was the dance troupe. We walked through the Crystal Room and it was lacking atmosphere as the band weren't on tonight and it was being hosted by a girl from the entertainments team. One couple who had been dancing most nights were complaining that the host didn't know one dance from another. We decided to have an early night and finished watching a Disney film we had been watching earlier on the TV in the cabin. We know how to party hard!
