Oh! You are finally on the boat! Yippee! I can't wait to hear more and let's hope the food reviews get better!
We were all excited to finally finally be on the Dream!
OK; I'm still reading this update, but if you got lost on the Bee Line, I'm going to make you turn in your RCA card, y'hear?
ETA: Whew! Good, I didn't think it was possible for anybody to get lost on a straight line drive.
As you can see...we didnt' get lost going to the Port. Thank goodness!
I am so excited to hear about the ship! On our HAL cruise to Alaska, the buffet was not the strong suit, but the sit-down restaurant was scrumptious! With a heavy full breakfast from the buffet, and a large dinner at night, we ate very lightly at lunch from the buffet. It was okay, but we didn't want THREE big meals in one day, anyway. The desserts were always good, though, and the bread pudding was to die for! Hope the rest of the meals were better.
If we were ever to do a cruise again, it would be a cruise to Alaska. That would be a dream come true!
Pulling into the terminal is soooo exciting!! Cant wait to hear about the cruise! that stinks about the food though! When we cruised (not on Disney though) the food was excellent, like perfect, so I hope it got better for you!
I hate toll roads, ughhhh, never did that one but we drove down to Maryland and the tolls in Jersey are annoying, on one we kept throwing money in the basket and it wouldn't register it, I must have thrown $5 in a .35 toll lol, people were beeping and I said forget it and just went
We all thought that the food at Cabanas was just okay.
John asked me "hey sweetie britches, what you do think would happen if we didn't put the right amount of money in?" I just looked at him and said "see that camera up there, I'm sure it snaps a picture of our license plate and we'll find a wonderful surprise ticket waiting for us when we get home." Needless to say, we made sure that we had correct change.
I would have been ticked off it I had to put $5 in for a 35 Cent toll.
T-rex looked great. I am excited to give it a try! Still 4 months to go!
I love the cruise terminal. It's so pretty. Did you visit the bathroom in there? not so magical compared to the rest of the place.
I loved the welcome aboard buffet. It sounds like I had different food than you did though. But as for the shrimp....I have never heard of peel and eat shrimp having spices....so that must be a Louisianna thing. Or those of us in Ohio are just boring. My Mom had that same icecream and she still talks about how good it was. I tried the cookies and cream in Aug and it was really good too.
So the important question needs to be asked.....Did you have a chocolate Chip cookie. If you say you didn't like it...I might have to come there and strangle you! I think I could live on a diet of just those on the ship.
No I didn't go in the bathroom in the terminal, just the one in the parking building.
Seriously? What the heck do ya'll boil your shrimp in? Just water? P.M. me your address....I'm going to mail you some of the famous Louisiana shrimp boil. You'll never want to eat bland boiled shrimp again.
Okay, so I'm going to run after I post this.....John and I both said that the chocolate chip cookies had an odd taste. They tasted like they had cinnamon in them. I'm not saying that they weren't good, I'm just saying they tasted different than the ones I bake.
Those coastal people put spices on EVERYTHING!! Cajun seasoning is on a lot of tables right next to the salt and pepper! Eggs biscuits and gravy fried chicken mashed potatoes
Amen sister! If it ain't a spice you can shake on, we have spice that you pour on. I bet there's at least a half dozen kind of pepper/hot sauces in my fridge right now.
YAY, We're on the cruise, we're on the cruise . The ship really is pretty!! I can hear Dale now "This place is to fru fru for me"...............
I can just see Dale saying that. It was a bit fru fru in some places but not in others.
I'm finally caught up! Loving it all of course, and very curious about that trip report title...!
And you say, this is when the underwhelmed feelings started? Does that mean there are more? I hope not!
Hey Brook! I guess the moving process has slowed down. I should be getting to how the name came about in the next installment or so.
I will go ahead and admit that, yes, we were underwhelmed by a lot of the food.
Lovin' your trip report, can't wait for more!
Thank you! I hope you'll stick around cause this is going to be a pretty long trip report.
