Back at the cabin our luggage arrived so we unpacked and got ready for the safety briefing. Some of us took the instruction in the cabin literally.
It was long before the announcement was made to head to the muster station for the briefing. We made our way to Evolution on Deck 4, lots of stairs from Deck 10. This briefing was a lot better than the two who had with Carnival. The information was basically the same but it was better organized. As soon as we left our cabin we found crew members in their life vests directing people to their muster station and when you got there, they scanned one key card for each cabin to check people in. Once everyone was there, they quickly went through the briefing and we were on our way.
It was nearly time for the sail away so we wandered back to the pool area. By the time we got all the way back up it was really crowded so we decided to simply head back to the cabin and watch from the balcony. We had told DWs parents we would be back there waving while they watched on the Fishlips webcam.
Here are some pictures taken as we headed out through the channel.
We had the early seating for dinner and tonight we would be in the Enchanted Garden. We all got changed and headed down for the 5:45 seating. Our table mates were already seated. We would be joined on the cruise by the Couch family from Atlanta. They had 2 boys (one the same age as DS) and one girl. They were also on their first
Disney cruise and were great company during the trip.
I dont recall what we had but I do know it was good. The servings were a bit on the small side but the presentation was good. Our server and assistant server were also excellent and were great with the kids.
After finishing eating, we headed for the shops as DW wanted to find a hoodie to help take the chill off. The shops were pretty crowded but she did find a
DCL hoodie and Declan found some new Vinylmation characters. As soon as there finished the doors open for the first nights show the Golden Mickeys.
We then headed to the District Lounge for Family Feud. Guess who was the first family picked US!! We were one of 4 families picked to compete in the DCL version of Family Feud. Unfortunately we didnt win. If you have never seen the game, they start out by asking a question about each family member and then that person has to guess what they picked. It started out with the youngest, so Declan for us. The question was Which character would describe you? Two of the choices were Mr Incredible and Goofy. Being the proud dad that I am, I convinced DW that we should pick Mr Incredible but Declan decided on Goofy. That put us behind and with the others cheating, we couldnt catch up
Once the game was over we were getting tired so we just strolled around and ended up by the pools. There were still a few people hanging out watching the movie but we grabbed some snacks from Flos and headed back to the cabin for the night.
Thanks for reading along. Part 3 will be about Nassau.
Ours is aft but not that far aft on the Fantasy. So excited to hear that you'll be here in June.
We will definitely have to meet up! Send us details once you know and we'll arrange things here.
