Went to St. Bonnett's Restaurant on the beach close to the pier. Had seafood platter shrimp & fries and bucket Corona beers w/limes slices for a reasoable price right on the beach across the street from the restaurant. Good time, Good Place.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Went real smooth. Ship was given clearance to enter port two hours late because of fog and pilot could not get out to ship. got in at 10 instead of 8 in the morning, but we were driving home from the port so it was not a real concern to us.
