Sleeping with the fishes
Last night on board--waaah!
For dinner on Thursday, Star Wars day, all the food had silly Star Wars themed names. I have to admit--it did cause me to dismiss clam chowder I probably would have enjoyed because it was named after Jarjar Binks (shudder.) So I had Padme Amidala cheese souffle which was very tasty! After that, I had a flatbread/pizza kind of thing, really good--with warm brie, spinach, pears, peaches and nuts on top. Then a macaron for desset. Yum. Demelz had mini ham sandwiches and pasta (of course) with scallops.
We talked some more with the same sex couple we share the table with. They are foodies and instead of celebrating Star Wars, they had a brunch in the fancy restaurant, a champagne tasting and then a special dessert tasting. They weren't very hungry when they got to dinner! They also are going on a second cruise next week--staying in the same room, and everything. Wow, I didn't even know you could do that! Then, in April, they're going on a third Disney cruise (that will be, if my count is correct--number eleven for them in the last few years.) Nice if you can manage it--they do have jobs!
Today we were on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Lovely, really hot and relaxing. neither Demelza or I are swimmers and the ocean was actually cool (I did go wading) so we lounged in lounge chairs until our glass bottom boat ride. We got to feed the fish oatmeal which made them jump out of the water. The ocean is so clear, you can easily see the fish over the side of the boat. Met a family similar to ours--caucasian parents, darling brown daughter and son. The little girl was sooooo cute.
After barbecue lunch on the island (with a far better hamburger than I had in one of the restaurants on board) we moseyed back to the ship, stopping for a dance party with Minnie and Goofy--Demelza was thrilled to dance right with them.
The musical theatre show tonight was fantastic--merging several familiar Disney songs into a story about a man learning to believe in magic. The actor who plays Genie in the Aladden show earlier this week and tonight is fantastic. There was a number from Princess and the Frog which made me want to jump up and dance to.
Dinner next and then we'll be getting ready for bed. sniff--the cruise ends at 6am tomorrow.
