25th Birthday Cruise Nov 15-18 2007

Now it's time for Day2!

We slept in a bit as we were not concerned with going to Nassau and Ender had scheduled a pedicure for me for my birthday at 1130am.

After we got ready we headed down to Parrot Cay for breakfast. We had never been there when the buffet tables were open which was fun. We were also surprised that the characters were walking around!

We also ran into our server from dinner and had her take our photo with Nassau in the background. It took her three times but we got a decent photo

After breakfast we went back to the room and spent some time on our verandah looking out as a naval ship pulled in next to us. Kind of cool. All the people were standing out on the deck of the ship in uniform.

Ender changed into his swimsuit and we headed up to the Spa to check in for my pedicure. He went in ahead of me and settled the bill :yay: Then we both waited for the guest in front of me to finish up.

It was really entertaining to sit in the lobby of the spa! Jaime who works in the gym kept coming in and talking with the spa ladies. He wanted to schedule all kinds of treatments if they had any openings. He bounced all around the room! He got himself a tooth whitening appointment for later that day.

Then it was time for me to go back into the spa and have my very first pedicure! I can't remember the CMs name but she was great. She asked me to pick out a color of nail polish. I picked blue because it was the only non red/pink they had. She said she had just put it out!

I had a nice relaxing pedicure and while she gave me a book of products to look at while she worked I didn't feel any pressure to buy anything which was nice.

Towards the end Jaime wandered in and started joking around about getting trained to do pedicures so that he could give them potty breaks! They asked him why he wasn't in the gym and he said that the one lady in there asked him to leave. We all looked at him funny and he re-enacted the conversation he had with her where she told him with her eyes to leave lol. He had approached her and made small talk and she gave him the deer in headlights look haha.

Once I was done I took a quick peek out at the pool to see if Ender was there and then headed back to the room. He was lounging around waiting for me. We had decided when we got our dining assignment the day before that we would go to Triton's for lunch since we would miss it for dinner. So we headed down for some lunchtime fun. A family was seated with us who lived in Tampa and we would end up running into them several times the next day as well.

The server told us that they had a pasta bar which was not on the menu so I went for some Bolognese which was yummy and a good compliment to my steak diet. I also ordered a mixed drink which they never brought me a check for so I was never charged. A good birthday present!

Even though we hadn't planned on going into Nassau and we had even told our tablemates such, we went straight from Triton's off the ship lol. We decided as we were leaving Triton’s that we wanted to look at jewelry. We poked around a bit but didn't do any buying. It was fun to try stuff on though princess:

We stopped by the Pirate museum again and the same guy was out front greeting everyone who walked by. No great treasure was found in the gift shop though.

We also had to stop by Starbucks so that Ender's only purchase on Nassau could once again be a Starbucks beverage.

On our way back onto the ship we ran into our server once again who had been out at her favorite Jamaican restaurant getting a little taste of home.
There was a really cute sign out when we went to board the ship and the guest behind us offered to take our photo

Stay tuned for more of Day 2!
 
Alright, so I am getting to the thread a little late, just proof that I work harder than SpaceRangerQueen :rolleyes1

So, how was the cruise? Three words, Too @#$% Short. Three days is a blink of an eye when you are used to seven. However, the cruise did provide some well-needed Ender/Queen snuggle time, just in time for said Queen's birthday (There are two things I am a pro at: Crastinating and Snuggling).

But, because we spent just about every moment together (the perfect vacation!) my trip report would be exactly like hers, with one very important difference - I'm CRAZY :banana:

Does anyone else think that the muster (mustard) drill really just inspires more terror? I mean, seriously, people don't even think about the possibility of the ship going down, until the cruiseline (and the coast guard) make you pretend that its happening. And, also, on a tangent from that, I want to know how the "Salt-Water Activated" safety lights work. Everytime I see those, I am completely fascinated with how unique and single-purpose those lights are. That, and the color orange scares me.

More to come
 

Yeah, I know, turns out, my girlfriend really digs the color green. and since I really dig the color of her hair (and everything else about her) I have branched out into other manly, manly colors.


More to come! Promise!
 
Well lets just say that we are NEVER doing a 3 night cruise again!

Well, lets just say that that statement is a tad premature, dear... The Disney Wonder better be getting ready for us again in t-minus 4 days and counting.

Yes, that's right. After two semi-aborted trip reports here to the Dis, SpaceRangerQueen and I are promising to finish at least 1 (count 'em) trip report here on the Dis. And, as always, the only trip report worth reading is the next trip report. So consider this an official announcement

::Official Announcer Voice::
"We Will Finish a Trip Report for Our May 29th to June 1st Disney Cruise"
::End Official Announcer Voice::

But, looking back on all the good times of this shortened trip report, there is something I feel is missing....

Okay, there's a lot of stuff missing, stories to be told, memories to be shared, long-forgotten dreams to be set free, movies to be watched... But to tell you the absolute truth, I barely remember them (come on, it was five months ago, I barely remember last week).

So instead of trying to make up, remember, or muddle through what had happened. Instead I leave you with Ender/Queen's Trip Report, in ten photos or less.
