We're not making it up - we spent today at Perfect Day on Coco Cay in the Bahamas. (The song choice for today, if you want to hum along is Perfect Day by Hoku, from Legally Blonde 😃)
Celebrity/Royal Caribbean own this little island in the Bahamas where they have created quite an exceptional beach experience. (Norwegian Cruise Lines is building something similar on Stirrup Cay "next door"). We will admit to being somewhat wary of this adventure. We've seen so many amazing things via cruising; a beach day seemed somewhat silly. We're okay with being wrong on this one!
The island is free to cruisers, but you can upgrade to certain experiences. There was a hot air balloon, water slides, wave pool, zip lines, and...an adult only beach! We bought the ticket for that "excursion" and had a delightful, and mostly quiet, day. There were two ships in port, but our beach was relatively empty.
We read books (Thelma: Black Wolf by Louise Penny, Louise: Where Trees Touch the Sky by Karen Barnett), swam in the lagoon, and had a delightful lunch. I also obsessively watched an enormous pelican dive for fish. It was HUGE! And I'm pretty sure it was just messing with swimmers. There were fish in the lagoon, but he came up with very few of them, but continually came within feet of swimmers, splashing a few. I kept one eye on that guy!

| Checking for eyebrows post swim; you can never be too careful! lol |
And that was our perfect day! Back on the ship, we sat on our veranda for a while and just soaked up the ocean. Until this guy showed up to fix an errant light on a lifeboat. You don't see that every day! ;)

| Dinner and a show! |
Tomorrow is a sea day, and then we head to Tampa to fly home. We might have one more blog in us!
PS The curls came back (hallelujah!), and isn't this swimsuit just the cutest thing ever? 😁
