Ok so I am going to post the last update to this part of the cruise and that will probably be it until later this week. My FIL and I will be leaving Kissimmee early in the morning for the long drive back to NB and I dont I will get much of a chance to post.
Dinner this evening was at the Royal Palace. The décor here is fantastic and the uniforms the staff wear are great. You really feel you are eating in a palace. For some reason the only picture I took was of the bread basket.
I do remember the food was once again very good. I enjoyed the wild boar, pooksma had the lamb and Declan the chicken I believe. The wait staff was excellent once again, especially our assistant server who came to the rescue after a couple of spills.
Our next stop was the D Lounge for the family bingo and we were joined our table-mates. Bingo on board is not cheap and you are able to get an electronic device that allows you to play multiple cards at the same time. All you need to do is watch and yell BINGO. They also have paper cards that you punch out the numbers. I was selected to verify that all the balls were indeed in the drum and for that I won a Mickey calendar. Unfortunately that was to be all that we won. Our table-mates, however, won at least once, maybe twice.
After Bingo, both families made our way to the Villains Tonight Show. Since it was about to start we sat in the balcony at the very top. You have a pretty good view up, only blocked a little be by a pole. Hades is my favourite villain and this show didnt disappoint. I was once again amazed that the same cast was able to deliver another different show. The actor that played Hades was excellent and I tried to get a picture with the cast after the show but I was told they didnt typically do that. The CM that I did ask said he would check with the manager and call me if it could be arranged. I dont know if he tried or not but it was nice that he made the offer.
I know there isnt supposed to be pictures of the shows but I did sneak in a few non-flash photos. Like I said, Hades is my favourite villain.
After the show Declan decided to head to the Edge with his new friend, Jack while Tanya headed back to the cabin. I wanted to get some pictures of the ship at night so I took the opportunity to wander around and snap some pictures.
I did wander through the club area and didnt find the areas very crowded at all.
To finish off the day, some pictures from around the ship.

I bet you can look at them and remember those moments so well. Sometimes those quiet times are the most vivid.
