We4mickey 6 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well it is time. We can finally go to our room. Now I hate to burst the expectations that have been shown already, but we had just your ordinary verandah room. No large invite all the neighbors over for a party verandah. Just 2 chairs and a table, lol. We did however, love our room. It was on the 6th level, midship. We were close to everything. A short walk to either end, up or down and we were where we wanted to be. Sorry this first one is kind of dark. It was so bright in the room.From the verandah looking inA split bathroom, shower and sink in one and commode and sink in the other.Off the verandahJust a quick jump and we are good to go in the lifeboat, lol.A casino boat in the port areaWe had the same basics as everyone else. Two closets, one safe, a desk area and couch that folded down, should we have wanted it. I must say, it is my goal to find out what kind of mattress they had on that bed. It really was a dream!!! It was like sleeping on a pillow. Our room steward came in and made the bed in the morning and brought us ice. He would then come back later in the day, turn the bed down and leave more ice. He also left us towel animals along with the navigator for the next days activities.... and chocolate. A man after my own heart. His name was Nomann or something similar and everything was Miss Lynn and Mr George. He was the nicest guy.We got all settled in and it was time for the sail away. We all headed to Carol and Ricks Party patio! Here again I must apologize because I was so excited about the whole thing. I didn't take a single picture. I'm sure though you have probably seen enough. I must say we really looked like a bunch of goofs in the video. If you would have been on our side of the camera you would know we were waving at all the people waving at us. Then, we had to wave to the webcam and hope that we were getting on the camera. Then all of a sudden we were coming up to Jetty park and there it was "Bon Voyage Fort Fiends" on a huge sign. How exciting is that!!! We watched the water and saw fish (go figure) and jelly fish, lots of them. Then it was time to wander and go see the show. Golden Mickeys was the first show and of course we were late. I didn't know if George would sit through it, but he loved it. He took a couple pictures, but the shows the next few nights he took video of. He really enjoyed them. He isn't normally a show kind of guy.We walked around a bit and hit the shops. I must say I was dissappointed in the merchandise. I thought they would have some I have got to have that cruiseline stuff. I actually had a hard time finding something for my grandsons. By this time you could feel the boat rolling around a bit. The castmember in the store said it is always that way the first and last night. Something about a current that we have to cross. After the show it was time to get ready for dinner. We once again did not take pics of the food. Too much going on but, I'm sure someone else will have them. I know I had a spinach souffle, and a salad with many types of greens. The main course for me was Salmon, George had Boar. He said it was delicious. Unfortunately for me by this time the boat was rolling a bit too much. I went back to the room to lay down and George enjoyed my salmon. It did taste very good, but just wasn't working for me that night. I was upset because I really wanted to see the match you mate show and it was the only night they had it. Tomorrow we hit Nassau.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We4mickey 6 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Today is Nassau day. We did not plan any excursions. We decided we would just walk around a bit and then spend the day on the ship.You can see the large tented area that was the strawmarket. Now they have pop up canopies all down the waterfront. They have done nothing to clean up the that was damaged by the hurricane. Kind of sad, you saw product just sitting there.We did see Carol walking to her excursion as we were departing the shipWe didn't stay in Nassau long. It was HOT!!! We walked through the strawmarket area. There was an aisle about 2 feet wide, some spots not even that. I will say it didn't impress me. We walked down to Senor Frogs to buy our boys some t-shirts. They would much better have a t-shirt about drinking than Mickey Mouse, lol. We did walk into a few shops as well, but really didn't see anything worth buying. So we headed back to the ship.We put our swimming suits on and headed to deck 10. I have got to say the adult pool area is fantastic. I swear we took pics of this area, but I cannot find them on the camera. The pool consists of a mickey shape, the center being about 5 1/2 feet deep. Each ear is different. One is shallow with just a few inches of water to sit or lay in and the other has benches all the way around it to sit in water about chest deep. There is also a bar in this area and nice cushioned chairs. The hot tub butts up to the glass outside wall, so that one side is all open to look out. There is also a rectangular glass bottom in it. You can see all the way down to the ocean. Yikes! My husband said what do you think would happen if that broke? Can you say, Shark Bait?They also had some of these panels along the side of the ship so you could look all the way down. Now I swore I wasn't going to ride on the Aquaduck, but once I saw it up close, I decided I would give it a try. I told my husband I would only do it when we weren't moving however. Today was the day!I have got to say I am glad I did it. It was really fun! We had lunch in Cabanas and watched the crew do lifeboat drills. They took turns driving the boat to where it hooked up to the lifts. It was very interesting to watch. We also watched the people running to the Carnival ship as it was getting ready to leave. That was funny!!! Time to get cleaned up and go to tonights show. Villians, was fantastic. In the future if DH can figure it out, I will post the video of this show. We also have Animators Palate for dinner tonight. I love this restaurant. I think it is my favorite.Tenderloinshrimp parmesan pastachocolate cheesecakeI can't find the pic of my dessert. I must have eaten it and then thought about the pic, lol. It was a double chocolate cake with ice cream. However, it was our celebration night. Our servers celebrated everything that everyone had going on in one night.Tomorrow it is Castaway Cay day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We4mickey 6 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Castaway Cay, we didn't know if we would make it to this stop. The hurricane the previous week and done some damage and they had to dredge the canal so the ship could get back in. You can see in these pics how the water must have pushed the rocks back away from where they were supposed to be.You can see how brown everything is from the salt water.There is a piece missing from the catwalk and they had to use a boat to get out to the end.We took the tram over to serenity bay, the adult beach area. HEAVEN, that is all I can say!and who is this? It looks like Scott aka BigDisneyDaddy lounging in the sun!We also saw this guy both on the island and on the ship.We had the package for snorkeling, biking and floats. We never got the bikes because it was too hot. We did get the snorkeling stuff, but the area that they have you swim in was so stirred up by everyone swimming you couldn't see anything. I wish we had known that we could take the snorkeling stuff to serenity bay, the water was really clear there.We saw people going out to parasail all day long.Before you knew it, it was time to go.They had a ventriloquist tonight for the show. He was quite amusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
We4mickey 6 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 It is pirate night on the ship. I think there were people who brought suitcases full of costumes for tonight. I believe it was enchanted garden we were at for dinner tonight.crab cakesome shrimp couscous thingconch chowderjerk chicken saladmacadamia nut mahi mahiprime ribfruit cobblerGeorge couldn't decide so he got both the chocolate rum cake andthe rum raisin sundaeUnfortunately, our last day at sea, I did not feel well. No, I was not sea sick, I think it was just too much rich food. I was in our room most of the day. So that is all I have for pics of our daily goings on. Here are some miscellaneous pics from the cruise.Scott and PattiSo tomorrow we get off the ship. Sorry no pics of that. We were up at 6am to get our stuff together as we had to be off the ship by 8:30am. We had breakfast with the gang one last time and then it was goodbyes. Most of us were going to WDW, but staying at different resorts. We are off to Port Orleans Riverside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 All those CMs should get their swollen hand looked at by a doctor. Might be too late though, they've turned white and are missing a finger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
