Beach Activities The beach has sugary white sand and is just beautiful. A few other pleasure boats anchor off this beach, but it's pretty remote, so don't expect alot of people. The crew brings snorkeling equipment, some kayaks and some beach toys (volleyball and football).

Caviar and Champagne Splash Late morning, the Chief Steward prepares a caviar and champagne buffet on the backside of a windsurfer out in the water. The water is about 80 degrees F, and is just wonderful to be in. Most of the bottom is sand, but there are a few rocks, so I recommend some type of water shoes.

Lunch Buffet Beachside The crew prepared a full buffet lunch, with grilled meat and a fully stocked bar. I had a grilled cheeseburger and some chateau briand, but there were ribs, shrimp and other delicacies.

Afternoon in the Water With such a wonderful beach and warm water, I spent the entire afternoon in the water playing football and sipping on rum-and-cokes. The waitstatff would actually wade out into the water to bring your drinks.

Last Evening Aboard After a short talk from the Captain, who said we set a record that week of eating 14 pounds of caviar, we had some cocktails then went up a few decks for a specially prepared dinner.

Dinner There was a group of us who did not want to eat in the Main Dining Room that evening, so we requested to dine outdoors. The Chief Steward graciously obliged our request and set up a beautiful table for ten on one of the aft decks.

Luggage and Last Evening Packing For those who packed luggage, the staff requested that it be set outside the door by 1:00 a.m. for the staff to collect and stow below. The last night is usually spend saying goodbyes and packing by the passengers, and the staff is getting ready for the next weeks cruise. I stopped by the reception desk and made a donation to the crew fund (since tipping is included, if you feel extraordinary effort was made, a donation to the crew fund is the best way to show it).
