Was this at Cozumel? I was looking at this tour once, but I worry about bathrooms. is the bus ride long? And are their bathrooms on the bus. My friend wouldn't do it because she was afraid of not finding a bathroom.
It looks gorgeous there though. I am now regretting not doing it.

yup it was in Cozumel. The bus ride is about a hour or so. they had bathrooms in the store near the front of the park area and the tour guides took us all there for a bathroom break I was worried too, long day. Though I've been to all day concerts were port-o-johns so I know how to hold it, but I didn't need to worry. It was gorgeous

I did a tour of Tulum on a previous Carnival cruise. It was a great time and something that I really wanted to see on my first (and only so far) time in Mexico. My tour had stopped at a place to use "facilities" on the way to Tulum. Rustic, but perfectly functional.

Isn't it a great time. We had been to Cozumel before so figured this time we do something different, a little long, but good day

Woke up around 7:00am or so. Dad was out taking pictures and getting us drinks.











We went to breakfast at Cabanas again which was good, didn't get a lot since we had Remy Brunch later. After breakfast went back to the room and brush our teeth. I then split up with dad and went up and sat by Cove Cafe and read a book on ibooks. After a hour or so of that went to check out the stores and then I went and watched some of the Princess Gathering. Went back to the stateroom and got ready for Remy Brunch. So we headed up to Remy and checked in and we wait with others who had Remy brunch at the same time. They came and got everyone and took use into a private room and server us a glass of Champagne for 25 extra you could get Champagne glasses with your meal. We didn't because we aren't big on Champagne, we had the Tequila and Margarita Tasting later and if you read earlier in the trip report we had a bad night the second night so didn't want to drink too much. Remy Brunch consisted of Jamon Iberico, Sweetcorn Emulsion, Lobster Cannelloni Caviar, Sea Bass Egg Thai, Veal Tenderloin Potato, Paris Brest and dessets. Boy was in all yummy and good and we were full by the end. We got out at about 1:30 or so and headed back to the stateroom to change into comfy clothes. After that split up with dad for a while and walked around. Met up with dad outside Royal Court and we did the Galley tour which was interesting.











After the tour dad took some random pictures around the ship.





























We went to the Tequila and Margarita Tasting at 4:45 in The Tube, it was full. Christina taught the class so that was cool. It was a lot of fun trying it my first time. After that went on got ready for dinner and the show. Went to see the show which was Disney Believe and was good once again. After that went to the family show of Taylor Mason. After that went to dinner which was in Enchanted Garden again and was good. Got Lobster tonight. After dinner went and changed and show this.



Headed to The Tube and saw some of Majority Rules, then saw Joshua Seth adult show and then watched Match Your Mate. After that got a beer from Billie and talked to her and Christina for a little and watch 70's remix and listened to DJ Keeno spin tunes. Left the tube after a while and went to deck 11 to get a drink and then headed back to the stateroom and passed out.

Next UP: Castaway Cay

I only viewed the first page so far, but I'm enjoying this bit of Disney, as I won't be back down there until my December cruise.

Well, back to reading and watching the Blackhawks!

Dad was out taking pictures around the ship this morning.











I got ready for the day. Dad got back while I was getting ready. We headed up to Cabanas for breakfast which was good again. After breakfast went back to the room and grabbed stuff I'd need for the day. Then I left my dad in the stateroom making a plan to meet up on Castaway Cay and I went to walk around to talk pictures.

























Went down to deck 4 and took some pictures out there.

 

[DMMarla07860]

Took some pictures on deck 5 after that.











Went to to the top decks to get a drink and took a few pictures.





Went down to the Atrium and took a picture of this.



They started letting people off the ship and the lines were long so I got in line. Got off the ship got some towels and then headed to find a spot on the beach.



I relaxed on the beach and went to felt the water, which was cold, but could of been worse. I guess dad got off around this time.

 

[LITTLEKID58]

Your pics are amazing

 

[DMMarla07860]

Dad found me on the beach.





I asked him to take some pictures of me because I needed some for facebook and I returned the favor and took a few of him as well.

















Dad left and went over to the Adult Beach.







Dad met this guy while over there.





While dad was there I relaxed on the family beach, went in the water a little, went and watched crab races and Character Dance Party. Got some lunch at Cookies Too. Went back to the seat and saw my dad.

 

[DMMarla07860]

We headed over to the Head's Up Bar for Konk Koolers, took pictures along the way.

 

[DMMarla07860]

We finished our drinks and started heading back to the ship while we took pictures along the way.

[DMMarla07860]

We headed up to the top decks and took some pictures around the ship.

































We headed back to the stateroom and I took a shower while dad left the room for a while. Got freshened up, dad came back and we headed to La Piazza for the beer tasting, can't remember what beers there were, but I think 4 or 5 types. I'm not a big beer drinker, I like a bud light every once in a while, but all the beers were good to try and I got to try O'Gills which I liked. Mario did this tasting so that was good. Went and bought pictures from shutters and after that it was near show time so went and got a drink and ice cream on deck 11 and then headed to get seats for the show. The show tonight was An Unforgettable Journey which was good split up with my dad again and I headed to grab a bud light and then went and saw some of the Family Talent Show, after that it was about 8:00pm so met up with my dad before dinner and we people watched in the Atrium.

 

[DMMarla07860]

Dinner tonight was at Royal Court again. Dinner was good once again, we said bye to our tablemates and servers and told the servers we might see them around the ship the next week, we were going to request them, but things changed and we didn't. After dinner headed to the stateroom and saw this



changed and then left my dad and headed down to the Atrium. Saw the characters come out for the See Ya' Real Soon. Dad met up with me and we headed to O'Gills and he got a beer and then we headed to The Tube and saw The Ouest game show, after that was Taylor Mason. Dad left after then, but I went to the bar and got a Bud Light. Met some others at the bar and we did shots of tequila and we talked with Billie that night. Billie asked where I was flying home to, so I told her I was staying the next week as well and she said the bartenders and crew love when that happens because they don't have to say bye to those guests(you think your sad when you leave, crew have to say bye to other crew members and guests they might have gotten to know). Said bye to everyone and headed out to walked around a little and take some pictures.



















went and got a some tea from deck 11 and when I was headed back inside it started pouring rain which was awesome to see. Headed back to the stateroom and called it a night.

Next Up: Last Morning and First Afternoon

 

[DMMarla07860]

Woke up around 5:30am-6:00am I think, since we were doing a back-2-back we headed up to Cabanas for breakfast, they don't have a great selection on the last morning, but it's better then the selection on the Magic and Wonder I find. After breakfast went back to the room and got stuff ready for the day. Then I left to go walked around the ship a little and take some pictures.















I guess dad went around taking some pictures too.





Met up with dad and we hung out around the Atrium for a while, dad got a picture of outside where it had started raining.



We finally decided to get off the ship.



So we got off and he headed back up into the terminal.





We checked in then we waited around in the terminal and took some pictures.

 

[DMMarla07860]

They came and said any back-2-back people could get on. So we got on the ship along with a older gentleman and the guest DJ Keeno. Once on the ship we headed up to Cove Cafe and sat outside and read and went on the internet. Dad left me for a while and went to take some pictures.





He came back and we chilled a bit more, we saw the first new cruisers were on so we headed down to the Atrium. Ran into Clayton who had seen use around the ship the week before and had wanted to meet me because of my hat lol and then headed to La Piazza to book some tastings. Saw our friend Nyoman there. We booked Martini Tasting and Tequila and Margarita tasting and dad booked Rum Tasting. We were going to try for Mixology, but there was already a wait list so we passed. After that we headed to cabanas for lunch which was good again today, saw a beverage server who realized we were doing a back-2-back. After eating we walked around a while.











We met Goofy





Called my mom once again and told her I'd see her in a week, after that split up with my dad and I walked around and took some pictures.









Went back to the room for a little and then went back up to deck 11 and met a few people at the dismeet. After that walked around somemore.











Next was the muster drill which was in the walt disney theatre again for us. After the drill headed up to the Sailaway party and this time I danced a little.

 

[DMMarla07860]

watched us sail out of port after the sailaway.









After that went back to the stateroom and got ready for the show tonight which was A Fantasy Come True and since different acts were on this cruise they were in the show so a little different. After we headed back to the stateroom and then we headed to Skyline for drinks, we ended up buying the passport which was a good idea. After the we headed to get in line for dinner which was in Animators Palate. We met our tablemates, three other couples and we met Pete and Danni our server who were all awesome. After dinner went to the tube to see Match Your Mate, which was really lame, the couples were well the same, you had to see it to understand. DJ Keeno played music next. Grabbed a beer and said hey to Billie and Christina and got to meet Roland for the first time this night. After a while left and headed up to deck 11 for a drink then headed back to the stateroom for the night and passed out.

Next Up: Day At Sea

I love the empty terminal pictures. I was lucky to see it empty once when I went for a tour of the Dream and it was just so cool to have the place to ourselves.

 

[axfather]

What made you change out servers?

 

[DMMarla07860]

What made you change out servers?

They didn't have a table in second seating if we wanted the same servers, so we would have had to move to first seating which we didn't want to do. It worked out well though table mates were awesome on the second cruise and servers were just as good

 

[Cheryl726]

How awesome to do B2B on the Fantasy! Love seeing the empty terminal! Looking forward to hearing about the Eastern part of your trip!
