The soft pretzels are at the sandwich making station at lunch. You sort of have to look for them carefully because they tuck them into the bread display. They are absolutely wonderful! (But don't tell anybody because there aren't that many everyday and you sort of have to get there in a timely fashion to grab one!)

 

Oh, and whatever they do to the fries at the grill area near the pool, they also do to the fries at the sandwich station. Therefore, whether it be waffles in the AM and pretzels and fries at lunch, you can have all your carbs in one place!

happy cruiser 3131, sorry this took so long! In Tortola, I take a cab to Cane Garden Beach and have them let me off at the Big Banana restaurant. This is at the begining of the beach and a good ways down from the vendors and their little sheds that they sell from. All the restaurants along there rent chairs and you are no more that 20 feet from the water. The water is usually calm and warm and you can walk out a good ways before it gets deeper than your chest. I can stay in that water by the hour!

mrbill99, I think the chilled soups are better on X. They are pretty good on RCI but I think better on X. Try the Celery, Apple, Coconut one at lunch. It's like a Pina Colada without the straw!!! Creme Brulee on X definately has the ones I've had on RCI beat! No drink purchase required for pastries in Cova!
