This trip has really been awesome - so different from our previous trips, with the lack of planning and schedule-keeping.  And one other thing - we had one more along with us on the journey, Baby Hammer!  Hammer also had a big say in how I was feeling and what I could do.  Baby kind of forced my "relaxation" hand, and I am thankful for it ( Read more... )

More market fun - we had breakfast there, with a very disappointing apple fritter.  It wasn't bad because it was made poorly, it was bad because Baby Hammer has royally fucked up my sense of taste, and even what I like.  I used to have the biggest sweet tooth, and now it tastes as appealing as a pile of rocks.  Another pregnant meltdown, courtesy ( Read more... )

Keith had gotten us a bunch of stuff to eat on the train yesterday, and I had packed up everything the night before.  I had tried to book multiple taxis online, since there's no Uber in Canada, but only one showed up.  Guess I got the odds right!We had gotten wet burritos for dinner last night, and I woke up around three and ate the leftovers - I ( Read more... )

We got up early and enjoyed the room for a final morning, taking a quick walk around the ship. I was barefoot, and to the credit of DCL, my feet were clean as a whistle, after walking around the decks and inside carpets - very impressive!

After grabbing the last of our stuff, we then headed out for our final breakfast at Triton's.

A bit of a bittersweet day - on the one hand, I think an 8 day Disney cruise is finally long enough for me to really get my fix without feeling frantic to do everything, but on the other, no amount of time would truly be enough.

This morning was a super-late docking, so guess what we did all morning?  That's right!  We worked on our "marital bond".  We ate at the buffet again (we didn't realize until the last sea day that we could have been eating in the dining room, but it worked out better this way, see last sea day).  We walked off the ship at 11, and after a cursory ( Read more... )

There was a shuttle running from the ship to the town all day, and it dropped off right below the Mount Roberts tram up to the top of the mountain (nope!).

Woke up around 8:30, and after our standard breakfast of all the meat for Keith and fruit for me, wandered off the ship around 9.

The captain had made some announcements about how Tracy Arm might be impassable due to too much ice in the channel, which turned out to be true.  So, we headed to Endicott Arm, which turned out to be just as spectacular (and just as cold!).  We woke up around 8 and just lazed around in the morning - we had reservations for 12 at Palo, so we wanted ( Read more... )

Got up early again, and did my makeup - this was the Character breakfast morning!  I had done paid character meals at the parks before, but never on the ships.  Our time was 7:45 at Animator's Palate, and we were seated with Jimmy & Jane, and a special treat...The Amazing Hair Lady, Nicole and her husband Rick!  They were really nice, and we had a ( Read more... )
