So peeps keep asking me how my Disney Cruise Vacation went.
Well I think the problem is words can't really say how awesome the trip was. I felt like I was going on my first trip to Disney World or something. But I will try and sum it up.
Getting to the ship was fun, I got Ryan a-little late but all was good.. Part of the Beach-line/I-95 got closed off because of the fires here but no problem...There were FLEETS of Cruise busses running all over the place so we followed one. Our boat (or ship as Ryan forced me to call it) was almost breathtaking. I had seen it before but it was so long ago. We got there to early so we did nothing but drive around till we were allowed to park. Once on board we had lunch and the magic starred right away. The CM on board were some of the best I have ever seen. Once done with lunch we found our stateroom and then went to explore the ship. I felt it was needed since I wanted to know the ship like the back of my hand by the end of the day (something I ended up doing). But after that there where a few parties and what not...and generally just fun stuff to do as we sailed out to sea.
The next day was the Nassau, Bahamas. We really didn't have much to do so we found (or more or less was forced) onto a taxi and made our way to Atlantis. Now half the resort for people who are visiting and people who where staying at the resort. Needless to say just because I wasn't staying at the resort...didn't stop me from seeing the whole resort (thanks JB for the sneaking around resort training) The resort is really nice so if anyone is going to be in the area stay there! Anywho after that we did some shopping near the ship (Ryan did most of it) and then got back on the ship and did nothing for the most part.
Next day was CASTAWAY CAY! After playing in the water (and Ryan laying on the beach after his cloths got stolen) We did a Banana boat ride that was boat loads of fun. My half of it even fell off as we did a turn and hit a wave wrong. I think that was the best part about the whole thing. All the kids (and myself) held on to the Banana but the adults let go and floated around in the water till they got picked up. After that we ate at the BBQ and then went to the Adults/CM beach. That was very quite and as Ryan laid on the beach again I made friends with the fish. AKA I went around in the water and a small group of fish followed me. After that we did the water tricycle. Bad Idea as it was a lot of work and we really didn't move...but we did get to watch one sail boat flip over at least 10 times. Good times laughing at them. We stayed on the island still around 4 before going back to the boat and chilling. That night was pirate night so everyone (even the characters were dressed up as pirates).
The next day was out at sea and we didn't do much. They showed Disney Dreams with the peter pan on steroids. We did the early showing in case it was as good as last nights show 'Golden Mickey’s' or the nights before 'Hercules'. But it wasn't but all the shows were still nice. That night we ate at Animators Palate. I think this is the most popular place on the ship and for good reason. Anyplace that can go from black and white to color during your dinner is just going to be nice. After that was the good-bye party were we came to realize that Ryan was being stalked by peter-pan. But the good-bye party was very nice and yet sad at the same time.
Next day was up early and what not. We ate at Animators Palate once again and then just walked around the ship. The fires were still in the area so we could smell that really nice but we didn't care...the ship still gleamed in the night.
Hope that wasn't to long for ya. But yeah
