..now, on with the pictures!
Getting on the ship was so super exciting
.I really cant put it into words. In fact, I was so thrilled that I didnt know which way to look
.what pictures to make
.where to go!!! CLUELESS!!!
Thank heavens Pop was coherent enough to quickly snap some shots
.
I feel quite certain that our appearance just screamed
Disney Cruise Novices! We totally looked like the tacky tourist...or should I say my immediate family. Pop and Hopie looked very nice!
Ill probably say this a hundred times, but the pictures dont do the ship justice
.
Because a dear friend gave me some great advice
, we knew exactly where to go first! Erin (DisneyDoc) said to head straight for Cabanas for lunch
.so thats exactly what we did. Jump on the elevator and go straight up to the 11th floor, then head to the aft of the ship.
We passed by the Mickey Slide on the way
..you can see how rainy and cloudy it is. However, this didnt stop some of the die-hards from taking a dip in the pool.
At first glance, Cabanas was a bit confusing because it wraps around the back of the ship. I didnt realize the restaurant was so big. Erins advice was spot-on!!! We snagged some GREAT tables by the window and out of the way from traffic.
One of the things we all noticed immediately was the cleanliness of the ship! Unbelievable!!! Tables, floor, buffet
..CLEAN!
Unfortunately I didn't get any great shots of food during lunch....but have no fear....there are better pics to come
I dont remember exactly what was on the buffet, but it was really good and there were plenty of options
.and let me reiterate plenty!
Seafood
..crab, shrimp and more crab
.and more shrimp!!
And my favorite
.dessert!
Bill had his share of crab!!!
We kept seeing Disney buses pass by
.wish I had been counting. There were TONS! Stephanie and crew text me to say they were here and getting on the ship!
This castmember was so attentive to our every need! So friendly and helpful. They were constantly cleaning up and tidying the table. It almost makes you feel guilty to see the wait staff working so hard.
You can see from the picture how high up we were
.super cool (for me anyway) to watch all the Disney traffic.
Well
.the other 1/3 of our travel party finally made it!! And they were a bit hungry, too.
We couldnt get into our rooms until 1:30ish, so we just took our time and ate, relaxed
.ate a little more, chatted
.and ate some more. Why not, right??
And heres our tacky tourist #1
.aka
.
the Closet Disney Fan and
DisBoard Lurker...
After lunch, it was time to do a little exploring!!!
