Today we were doing the Carnival excursion “Beach Getaway
with Open Bar” and we didn’t have to be there until 11:45 am ship time so that
meant we could have a leisurely morning until then.
The boys went to the gym and then we went down to the buffet. There was hardly anyone there so I got an
omelet and it was pretty ok actually. We
decided to go ahead and get off the ship and check out the port.
Seeing the port didn’t take long so we went back to the ship and had a drink on the Lido deck. This is where I discovered my favorite drink, the Twilight Zone.
We went down around 11:30 to get in line for the excursion
and there was already a long one when we got there:
The buses arrived promptly at noon and I think it took 3 or 4 buses to take
everyone. The buses were nice with padded seats and AC. The driver gave us some
information on the island during the 25-minute or so ride.
Once we got to the beach, since we were one of the last ones, there
were no chairs or umbrellas. By some miracle, I found 3 chairs under a palm
tree.
Ben and Nick have to have shade at all times. It was an ok setup, we were just a ways back on the beach, directly across the bar/atrium area. There were alot of chairs, but there were also a lot of people. I think there were only two ships in port though and I can't imagine what it would have been like with 3 or 4.

Back to the ship, we are all starving so after freshening up
in our rooms, we headed to Off the Grill for a hamburger, which reminded me of
the burgers served in my 7th grade cafeteria. I ate every bite of it. We then decided to go to the Serenity deck
for one of the prettiest sunsets I’ve ever seen.
I got a Mocha Chocolate Getaway:
Back to the room to this little guy:
