When we left off, poor Meg was feeling really seasick, and we were wondering if she was going to be able to eat dinner that night at the Royal Palace. She got her gingerale and ate a roll, and thankfully, started feeling better. I think the Bonine had started to kick in as well. She was good to go for dinner! Here is the bread basket, before the bread arrived:

So pretty! The whole restaurant was nice, with little touches everywhere:

Our server came over and introduced himself. He was Kruno, from Croatia. He was a very nice guy, and a great server, and touchy-feely! He'd put his hand on your shoulder as he was taking your order, or asking you a question, and get really close. He did it with everyone, even Trevor. It wasn't creepy though, but we joked a little about it at our table.
Meg and I both ordered the same appetizer, the lobster with jumbo shrimp:

It was good, but the lobster tasted a little odd. Maybe it had been in some sort of sauce beforehand or something?
Then, I got the onion soup:

It was good, but the bread on top was pretty hard to get through. You had to wait for it to get really soggy in the soup.
Meg and I both got the filet with lobster medallions for our entree. It came with mashed potatoes, and a few little veggies.

The filet was really good, and the lobster was better than it had been in the appetizer, even though it looks the same.
Then came dessert. Both of us chose the strawberry shortcake sundae:

It was really good, but Meg didn't like the sauce on top that much...she thought it was very sugar-y. I am all for sugar!
We rated the whole dinner a 4 out of 5. The food and the service were good, and we were very glad Meg felt better!
The restaurant itself was practically empty! There were obviously a lot of seasick people that night! One table near us had one poor girl sitting alone. The rest of her family of 12 was sick! We asked her to join us but she said she was just there to eat some dessert.
We went back to our room to gather up our FE gifts for Day 1. We had to get them all passed out! If you have never done a FE on DCL, do it! It was so much fun! Here is what we gave on day 1:

We put all of these goodies into...

and created a list of what goodies were in there:

I saw an idea like this on one of the FE threads, and loved it! That was for the adults. We gave the kids a bag filled with:

Pirate goodies to use on Pirate night!
Once we got our workout from passing out the FE gifts, going up and down the stairs and down all the looong hallways, we went back to our room, to sleep for the night.

Weather for the day: really windy, and some rain in Port Canaveral
Best thing for the day: Being on the Dream!
Worst thing: Meg being seasick!
