Day 8 Princess Meet and meet, Nassau, The Storm, Pirate night at Royal Table
Saturday September 24th
Firstly here is the lovely towel arrangement from the night before.. It was to honour our anniversary...
Jo saved some petals and later decorates our bathroom with them!
The day started with cereal in our room. Jo went to get hot water from the drinks machine. She discovered a whole new world of friends. Parents with infants in strollers needing their bottles!
After showers we hit cabanas and marvelled at the breakfast selections. I get cereal packets for the next day. Jo got some eggs Benedict her favourite breakfast. She got me a kids separator plate, filling both Mickey ears with strawberry sauce from the pancake station. I love that stuff. She also got me some melon, a glazed donut and a pancake. All were very nice.
Jo wanted to go onshore at Nassau to Diamonds International to pick up the necklace and bracelet we had won at the DVC meeting. I don't get off the ship here. I find Nassau quite difficult from an accessible point of view. Plus I was starting to not feel too well. I asked her to see if she could pick up some of the rum cake I like.
First we had booked a meet and greet with the Princesses so we headed down to deck 3 to do this.
First it was Rapunzel. I already had her autograph so just went in for the photo....
Next up was Cinderella.. We chatted about the castle and her life there.
We also meet Snow but her photo won't upload.
It was then time for Jo to go onshore. We both looked nervous. She never enjoys leaving me and I didn't like the idea of her going on her own.
She took some photos on her adventure...
She came back in record time. She found me sitting in the adults only area not too far from the eye scream machine...
She said Nassau was not her favourite place. A few people made her feel nervous. She got the goods and yes they did try to up sell her. She did not bite. Sadly there was no rum cake. I love that stuff! The necklace was the cheapest thing we have ever seen. Like it had come out of a Kinder egg. ( This is a chocolate egg with a cheap toy inside for American readers I know it is banned in the US ) . We said it actually would put you off this store thinking that was the quality of their goods which is not the case. We have had several great items from there. Tanzanite our favourite. The diamond in this gold heart necklace la couer de la mar it was not. Like a chip of glass ...
We laughed I should have taken a photo! I gave it to my niece as a dress up item. I think the idea is to get you in there and sell you something else.
We sat in the adults only area until lunch then hit cabanas again. What a selection! I had slabs of meat, bread, salad and ice cream. Jo had similar with fries and pizza.
After lunch we decided to go to see the new ice cream parlour based on Wreck it Ralph. Vanellopes. Pam wanted to see photos of it.
It was amazing. They invited us to try testers of the ice creams.. I was delighted they had sorbets and the low fat vanilla and chocolate without cream I had enjoyed at Beaches and cream. I asked the difference between gelato and ice cream. The server explained that gelato was richer and gave Jo peanut butter in both ice cream and gelato. Jo preferred the ice cream. She found gelato too rich.
Then we spied the racing car and cup they do that they deliver to the restaurants!
I fell in love with the racing car....
Jo suggested why don't we order one for the last night of the last back to back for my birthday? I was up for that! You get 3 scoops of your choice, 5 toppings, cream etc. I would have the low fat scoop, Jo could select some of her choice and we could each select some toppings. Usually Polly doesn't share food but on this occasion I was going to let Jo have some of my car...
It was only $12.95 delivered. Seemed like a good deal!
