Well, my DD will be 5 next month and has expectations, so I completely understand. She actually got in trouble for acting like a brat because she was complaining about going on a 3-night cruise instead of a 7-night. Sheesh.
Anyways, we did receive the streamer sticks. We don't have the Sail Away party memorized, because once we hear the ships horn and we pull away from the docks, we call the grandparents and get in view of the Port Canaveral web cam
The Aquaduck was "meh" - it was fun, but not ground-breaking earth shattering and not worth more than a 10-15 min wait for us. It starts out fast, and then slows down while going around deck. We rode it Nassau day while we were docked. I would like to try it again out at sea and at night, though. DH & I rode it one time each; DD is too short - she has about 1" to go to hit the 42" mark to ride with us. I think Crush n' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon is more fun and way faster, but we are spoiled and have the FL resident after 2pm water park passes, so it's not a novelty to us. Now, will I still ride it? Yes. I am not complaining, just giving my honest opinion. You will not catch me waiting 30-45-60+ minutes for it
