Anyone else love ketchup on scrambled eggs??? it's a requirement for me...

I do! But one stipulation, it's ketchup and tabasco sauce to be placed with the eggs AND on the hash browns/fried potatoes.

One thing that totally shocked us was one night at dinner, the 2 families sitting near us came in, plopped their 6 children (guessing ages were 3-7) down at the table, told the servers they were heading to Palo for dinner, and LEFT!! The servers were amazing with the kids and entertained them (even took a few of them to the restroom). I know it's Disney, but still, I wouldn't have done it with kids that young, just my opinion. But I will say, those kids were fairly well behaved. Although one of the servers spent quite a bit of time babysitting the kids which took away from his other tables. I'm not saying the kids didn't deserve to eat but there are other options on the ship if you want to enjoy an adults dinner. Then the kids could have gone to the club while the adults enjoyed dinner. Our children loved the main dining rooms so we ate at Palo at a time different from our dinner seating. Then we took the kids to dinner in the main dining room and just enjoyed a drink while they ate.

We were fortunate on our 2 cruises, my mom was along for the first so the night Palo came for us, she was happy to take them along with her.
Our 2nd cruise we only did the brunch. The kids were still in their respective camps and were no wiser to our absence. We just didn't eat as large at the dinner table that night.
I too would never press our kids on the wait staff. That's not their job! If you can't be with your kids at dinner, get them set up in the clubs or take them to Topsiders before you go out on your own.

THE BEST GROUP PHOTO EVER

A few years ago, my husband and I went on a Royal Caribbean reunion cruise with 10 couples for my husband's fraternity. We were in the atrium by the grand staircase waiting for the photographer to take a group photo on formal night. Apparently we were taking too long and a group of four Scottish rugby players in full kilts were starting to get impatient. Our group started bantering back and forth with them in fun. For our last photo, the photographer was trying to get the group to smile in unison. He counted "one....two...." and then on "three" the rugby players all turned an mooned us. The look on our faces in the photograph is priceless! No more guess work of what they wear under those kilts! They continued their colorful antics throughout the whole cruise: bellyflop contest, sexy legs contest, karaoke, and unfortunately upset one groom who didn't like them hitting on his bride in the bar. We had an memorable and fun cruise

Something wonderfully unexpected in February of 2010- the Wonder and the Magic both leaving PC on the same day (our cruise on the Magic was delayed one day due to a storm and left on Sunday instead of Saturday). They had dueling horns as both ships sailed away. It was amazing - both captains made announcements about how rare it is for the ships to be in the same place at the same time, flashes were going off all over the place and, I admit, I was a little teary-eyed. It was a fabulous beginning after a delayed and somewhat stressful start to the cruise , and set the tone for one of the best Disney cruises ever!

We had something similar last week on our Alaska cruise. As the Wonder was pulling out from Ketchikan, the captain played dueling ships' horns with the Norwegian Sun, docked behind us. It really made me smile.

We were on the Wonder that day and you are right it was amazing.

During our stop at Castaway Cay on the WBPC this year the Dream did a sail-by to say farewell to the Wonder for the summer. It was pretty awesome to see the two ships from shore.

How awesome!
Any new shocking things? We haven't gone on our cruise yet, so I have no stories yet.

April 2012 we sailed the Magic out of PC the day before the Fantasy's inaugural sailing. The Fantasy was docked a little further down the channel as we set sail. We had an awesome horn battle, which we sadly lost to the Fantasy's multiple tunes! The whole Fantasy crew was on deck waving to us. I smile every time I watch the video I made. We also saw the Fantasy two more times that week as we were in the same ports on the same days. No big horn battles though, likely out of respect for the islands.

Me either. We scheduled Palo dinner late and sat with the kids (6, 13, 13 and 15) at the early seating. However, we did receive a call that morning from the head server. He said we notice you have Palo scheduled and we'd be happy to take care of your kids throughout dinner. We declined, but thought it was a very nice gesture.

Plus, it was the only time we'd really get to see our kids. They were too busy in the clubs and with their new found friends.
