3 Night Disney Wonder Cruise December 10th-December 13th, 2009

[DMMarla07860]

Great update--love the video clips! Also, how did you like deck 2? We've been on deck 5 twice and liked it, but deck 2 seems to be a little cheaper. Thanks for your help.

Cheryl

I loved deck 2, we've stayed on deck 2 three time, well twice since the last time was back-2-back in same stateroom for two weeks. Deck 2 was great at night because it wasn't a long walk back to the stateroom after a night at Wavebands/Rockin' Bar D and great on port days as well since you didn't have to walk up stairs or wait for a elevator. I loved it, but everyone is different

Woke up around 7:00am. Dad was out of the stateroom getting coffee and walking around the ship, so I got ready for the day. Dad came back to the stateroom and watched tv while I finished getting ready. Once I was ready we headed up to Beach Blanket Buffet for breakfast. Breakfast seemed great today. We ate breakfast outside in the back. After breakfast I left my dad and walked around the ship taking pictures.

Walked around a little more.

Met up with dad and he took some pictures of me by the tree.

We headed up to deck 10 since Oasis Of The Seas was almost in port and we wanted to watch it dock in Nassau since it was it's first time docking in Nassau.

Lots of people were out of deck 10 of the Disney Wonder watching Oasis Of The Seas come into port. guests and crew included, it kind of reminded me of seeing pictures of people on deck when the ship was going through the panama canal only less people, but still of lot of people taking pictures and videos. A crew member took a picture of me and my dad.

After a while got bored looking at Oasis Of The Seas from deck 10 so went down to deck 4 to see how many people were looking at it and talking about it down there. Not as many as deck 10 that is for sure, but when I was on deck 4 I would see lots of crew members step outside, take and couple pictures and talk with each other and guests about it, it was funny actually. It started to rain. Dad got this picture.

I went inside and ran into my dad, we went to Triton's for lunch. Triton's was good enjoyed it. After lunch left my dad and went up to deck 9 and watched the Ice Craving for a while.

Went down to deck 4 for a while and took some more pictures of Oasis Of The Seas and saw more crew members of the Disney Wonder coming out to get pictures and talk about it.

After Deck The Deck headed back to the stateroom

to get ready for dinner since it was close to dinner time and I wanted to get some pictures with Stitch and Captain Jack Sparrow before dinner. So once I was ready headed up to the Atrium and got in line for a picture with Stitch.

After getting a picture with Stitch headed up to Preludes and got a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow.

.

Still had a little time before dinner so walked around.

Went outside on deck 4 to see Oasis Of The Seas at night.

Met up with my dad and we headed to Triton's for dinner.

Triton's was good tonight, I had two desserts tonight as well and they were yummy. After dinner went back to the stateroom really quick.

Walked around the ship a while and did people watching from deck 5 for a while, looked in the stores on the ship and then headed to get a seat for Toy Story The Musical. The show was great once again tonight, second time seeing this show. After the show headed up to deck 9 and went to the arcade for a while. After the arcade got a spot for the Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party.

After the party headed down to Wavebands for Krazy Karaoke. Pikey and Frankie were hosting it and it was great. Haha Pikey talked about Farmville and Cafe World during Karaoke and Frankie said what he thought of Oasis Of The Seas, and Pikey said they would have to ban speedos on Aquaduck on the new ship, and Pikey and Frankie sang and made jokes and guests sang as well. Great night an enjoyed karaoke. Headed back to the stateroom tonight at 1:30am or so and went to bed.

Next Up: Castaway Cay Day

nah, didn't get off in Nassau

Great photo report.....in one of your photos I just saw the back of me and my father-in-law watching the Oasis coming into Nassau. Pretty big ship but definitely NOT Disney.....not a classy looking ship just my point of view.

what you say about Oasis not looking like a classy ship reminded me of what Frankie said a Krazy Karaoke.

"Oasis was big, but it looked boring, Disney Dream will look way better"

December 12th, 2009-Saturday
Woke up around 7:00am and dad was out of the room already and around the ship doing stuff.

So got dressed. When dad came back it was around 7:15am, watched tv and talked for a while. Around 7:30am or so headed up to Beach Blanket Buffet for breakfast. After we finished breakfast I headed back to the room to get ready for a day at the beach. Dad joined me in the stateroom after a while and put some sunscreen on my back since I can't do that part. Left my dad and headed to walk around the ship for a while. They finally started letting people off the ship, so went and got off the ship and was on my way to the beach on Castaway Cay.

Great photos Julia .... looks like a really relaxing day

 

[auntsue]

Thanks so much for posting all those pictures. I now have a good grasp of the ship and CC. It looked like there were lots of empty lounge chairs on the beach. How was the weather that day? It also looked like they sell stuff on the beach. I'll have to take along some money.

It was also great to see pictures of Universal. It looked pretty nice. We've never been there.

Great trip report. Thanks again.

Weather was windy that day and cloudy, no rain which was good. empty lounge chairs, they were pretty full, early before everyone gets off they are empty and down the far end of the beach where I took some pictures of the ship from is less crowded. They do sell stuff, but you won't need money it is all charged on your room key like on the ship

and Universal is cool I've been there 3 times. I like disney better though
