Day 5
I woke up at 4AM to the DVC video loop going on and on. I couldn't take it anymore and put on Ratatouille as they kept asking us at Remy the night before if we had seen the movie. Of course we had but not for a while. I mostly drowsed through it, but before going back to sleep, I opened the curtains a bit so I could see when the sun came up.
I woke around 5AM and it was still dark. Just after 6AM I woke to see light and jumped out of bed. I could still see the sun under the horizon. Having a mid ship cabin and not aft was not ideal for taking morning sunrise pictures. I could tell that the direction that the ship was veering would definitely put the sun out of view from my cabin.
For the first time on a cruise, I threw on some clothes and shoes grabbed the camera and ran out the door. Not bothering to do my hair. I went up to deck 13 aft to catch the sunrise and ran into table mate Pam. I regretted not having done anything to my hair, we know two people on the whole cruise, and that is who I ran into! We chatted as we waited for the sun to rise.
Turns out the clouds obscured the sunrise, but we had a lovely discussion about winter, Christmas, and seasons with a gentleman from Connecticut. Pam is from Eastern New York and both of them were enjoying escaping from their colder climates. This is probably the shot that shows the sun had already risen.
It was after taking this shot that I realized the sun had risen quite a while ago.
After saying goodbye until later I walked around the ship taking pictures. There’s the Mini Golf Course.
I’m sure these tables get lots of use during the day.
There’s this basketball court.
Here is yet another bar, never made it here and probably wouldn’t spend much time here. I’m guessing that it would be hot and sunny.
Here’s a look from above of what I think was the family pool.
I’d seen this in seminars on the Dream and Fantasy, but this is one of the imagineers jokes related to the Aqua Duck (which I never did get on during this cruise.)
I just happened to stumble upon this pool area and bar. I had no idea it was here. Not that we had time or the weather had cooperated, but good to know for the future.
And looking down on the adult pool.
Back in the room I started to detail my notes on dinner the previous night while it was fresh in my mind. We also perused the Navigators.
I went up to the Cove Café to get my free coffee.
Here’s the midship elevators.
And the elevator itself.
This elevator has drawings that you pass by on the walls.
This was one of the sundries stores on Deck 11 conveniently located near the pool to separate you from your money when you’re relaxing poolside.
The pool wasn’t open at this early hour.
Here is the area where they have soft serve ice cream and smoothies.
Adult pool
