After our walk, we came back on the ship about 3pm and immediately made our way to a hot tub. By then, the sun seemed to be out for good, and we enjoyed a long soak while watching the Bonaire waterfront from the ship. 
We had to put together a plan for the evening that would allow us to fit in everything we wanted to do on our very first Christmas Eve on a cruise ship. So we went to dinner as soon as the dining room opened at 5:30pm, had just the entree, and then walked off the ship for some beautiful sunset photos from shore. We weren't sailing from Bonaire until 7pm, so we had a chance to also get some photos of the ship with all its lights on.
