Really enjoying your trip report so far. I totally get what you're saying about people not following instructions at the lifeboat drill, I don't have the patience for it either Well done on keeping your cool though - looking forward to more.

Cute shades, by the way

After that, Mickey Mania! This is very cheesy, but cute. It's a shame you have to partner with a kid, what about us childless adult children? Hmmm?????

I thought the same thing! I wanted so badly to play but there wasn't a child nearby I could 'borrow'! Bummer!

After a while, I started getting nervous with the crowds, so we stood up and tried to make our way towards the front.

OH my gosh wasn't it crazy?!!

We had been on the Wonder before, and it was never THAT crowded at boarding. I guess that's because the Wonder has more land/sea people who arrive later on the buses..but geez, this time it was nuts!

I think we went up to the pool to look around after that. Then off to our room.
Side note: Originally we had booked a Cat 11. A little while before the cruise I decided, hey let's upgrade to a Cat 7 so we can have a balcony. Well, when we did that they ended up assigning us to a CAT 4! While this was Really exciting, to be honest it was a probably a waste of space for the two of us. Although, I did love walking by the Roy Suite when we were going back to our room! We were in room 8502.

That's right, I remember you saying you had a great upgrade! That was really awesome!!

We ended up being Outside in the sun. Ick. I also started getting really frustrated at all the people that for some reason could Not follow directions!! What part of line up with ONE family in a row with the shortest in front don't you understand?? We ended up having an entire family stand in front of us, with the shortest in the back and they kept bumping me. I don't have the patience for that, but James tried his best to keep me calm.

Oh I know the lifeboat drill drives me cukoo.
We were the last ones to arrive...right after we arrived, everyone was dismissed Of course it was carefully calculated to be that way...

After that, Mickey Mania! .....


After dinner, we headed over to Rockin' Bar D and caught the very end of Magic Quest. It looked like they had a Fun time with that. Then we stayed and watched Match Your Mate. This is always a riot!

I wanted to catch the game shows this time...IMO it stinks that they put the best ones on the first night, there is always so much going on/to do the first night. We didn't make it this cruise, maybe next time....

Keep it coming!

Hmmm....so strange. Did everything work out? I don't think I'm going to go with them again, I can tell you that. It wasn't the worst experience, but it did get me a little stressed out and I don't do well with that.

We also had problems with Fl tours when we got to the port the driver asked for payment and I had prepaid with a credit card so of course he couldn't reach his boss so I ended up paying again luckly later on in the day they found I had paid with my cc and gave me a credit. I don't think I would ever use them again

Loving your report it is always great to read about our great Double Dip!!
