Y'all have been busy! We just got back last night after spending some time at Saratoga Springs with some of our family. LOVE all the pictures, and will have to relook up that e-mail address to see if I can pull some down off the shutterbug (?) site.
This was a good cruise, but rougher than our other two. Several family members were very seasick, including one who had been on the other two with us. Everyone was wobbly back on land.
Guess that means we are still supposed to be on the ship!
The only complaint anyone in our group had was some sewage coming up through the floor in their bathroom on the first or second night, but it was promptly taken care of.
Wira, our head server who was also our head server on the 11-day Special Southern Caribbean cruise back in 2006, arranged it so all the adults could sit together for dinner and all the kids could sit together. I heard that the server who ended up with the kids was really scared at first, but we really worked on the kids behaving and being super, super polite, and she seemed to relax almost immediately. That was Grissell and Andrea was her assistant. We adults had Igor as server and Fernando as assistant. This was the first cruise where I have ever tipped a set of servers who weren't "officially" our own. We all tipped our assigned servers above and beyond, but all four of these servers were phenomenal.
And Wira is first class all the way. I hope Disney never loses him.
I have many more thank you's to post, but must run for now. I do want to start off by saying Thank You hugely to Brenda for all her hard work. The FE blew my family members away, so thanks to all of you who participated. Fishing gear was incredible.
We saw Orient Beach on the way back, and it looked beautiful with the waves crashing, but with a 3 year old and a 7 year old, it would have been a bit more challenging. Were there lots of waves?
