The island - what can I say. We arrive about 3:00 and the last tender would head back to the ship at 6:30. Turned out this was more than enough time for us. We're not really big beach people, so other than trying some snorkeling, we weren't that excited anyway. So we claimed some chairs and umbrellas, got on our snorkeling stuff and hit the water. Now remember, it was overcast. Add to that the sand kicked up by lots of people in the water and the fact that the seas were a bit rough - meaning lots of waves.

Bottom line - we couldn't see anything, and swimming against the incoming waves was pretty tough. Overall the snorkeling was a bust. However, to be fair, the boys had a wonderful time; playing volleyball and swimming (and snorkeling a bit with us). We headed back to the ship on the 6:15 tender to find our last little food present – shrimp cocktail, courtesy of the hotel director. All in all, while the boys had fun on the island, we probably would have had a better time staying on the ship and taking the private bridge tour for owner's suite passengers. Live and learn!
