I am in love..."deep sigh".
I am in love with the fun we (husband and I, married 30 years) had on board. I am in love with the people that helped make our trip so special. The crew members were more attentive then I remembered from our last Disney cruise 18 mos ago and that was pretty attentive. But more then anything.....I am in love with people again. To see so many different nationalities getting along, laughing and smiling together and just having fun gives me hope. Maybe we should have a big Disney cruise in parts of the world that need to see what it can be like and what it should be like. Heck even at Disney prices it probably would be cheaper then politics!!
The temperatures at Castaway were a little chilly. Didn't stop us from doing the wave runners. Boy was I scared but thrilled at the same time. The waves were a little high for me being on those little water crafts. We did get off in Nassau on this trip. We did not on our first cruise. Atlantis was nice to see but that's it for us. We saw it, we did it, won't do it again. Our first encounter with the tour guides at the end of the pier was a bit unnerving but we got thru it. Braiders left us alone. I have long hair but am older so I guess no problem with that. However, the taxi drivers can be a bit of a nudge. I didn't feel like listening to them arguing over who was taking our group to Atlantis so we walked away with the first guy that was willing to leave. His van was in good shape and clean. However, our cab driver back didn't say word one to us and her cab reminded me of a car that we had stolen and then returned to us after they tore apart every inch of seats, dash, etc. I hugged my bag very tightly just because I was nervous from the way they drive there. It would of been nice to see one speed limit sign. People crossing there really have to be on their toes or they will be on their nose!! THere isn't one complaint I have about the cruise other then a couple of rude people on board. We had our stuff on chairs by the snorkling area and when we came back, most of our chairs were gone and people decided to put their chairs less then 6 inches in front of ours cause they wanted the view. Mind you we were about two feet from the edge of a rocky overlook. There is always that one family that thinks they are more important then the one before them. But on a whole most people were very courteous of each other.
Even things that you don't think could be fun end up being fun on board. The young man that ran the Bingo game was quite entertaining. His name was Michael and he also leads the Pirate Party on Deck 9 on Pirates Night
. He makes a simple game into a very funny way of losing a few bucks.
I'm not sure what people expect in food. I thought the food on a whole was good. Some things were a little overcooked for me but I'm willing to deal with it. Sure looked like everyone was eating enough. I feel like we ate enough for a month in 4 days. You definitely won't starve.
