Back from the 6/20 3 day. This is my third cruise, so just a few observances. The gift for returning cruisers was a beautiful plush towel that says Disney Castaway Club. The food and the service seemed to have improved since last cruise, the headwaiter spent a lot of time at our table each evening, sharing information with us. I felt that he really deserved the tip this trip, in the past, I did tip the recommended amount, but didn’t feel that the headwaiter did anything for us. Palo was excellent, as usual. We went on the dolphin excursion, it was fun, a little pricey, but I thought it was a once in a lifetime kind of experience. We bought the video as well as the photo. The boat ride over to Blue Lagoon was great, live music and dancing, we took a boat from Blue Lagoon to Paradise Island to go to the Atlantis for some gambling afterwards. We saw the premiere of Lilo and Stitch, we met the captain at the castaway club reception, did a few things at the spa, we went to karaoke night, did some shopping in the Bahamas. The weather at Castaway Cay was beautiful, my daughter had her hair braided there, and they did a nice job. We had a Navigator’s veranda, it was lovely. We got to see the handicapped room on deck 7 (we met a woman who got upgraded to that room who was not handicapped), that room was so spacious! Being a nurse, it was nice to know that someone confined to a wheelchair can cruise somewhat comfortably. I’ll try to answer any questions.
