Hi All! We are back from our Land/Sea. Thought I'd post a few highlights and more later....
First 3 nights at Beach Club, was excellent for those of us w/young kids. My DS5 loved the water slide and tide pool. Lines at park non-existent. Pleasantly surprised with AK park! Loved it! Quite a few attractions at MK undergoing renovation. Went on Mission Space at Epcot - virutal reality to the max - would not be surprised to read about folks having heart attacks on that one!!
On Sunday AM - we left from Port Canaveral. First stop Charlston, SC - did not find out until morning of cruise - was provided no option from Disney to rebook so we could be on a cruise when it would visit CC. Was not thrilled with this, but hey, at least I was not at my desk at work.....
Spent one day at Charlston, we did not get off boat, although the CM's said they briefly did get off to go shopping.
Then one Day at sea and one day in Nassau (the highlight of the trip).
Servers - Cristian from Chili and Adam from Australia (both very funny).
In Nassua we visited Cable Beach. Most of the hotels looked like they had some serious damage. The inlet by the Wyndham was still intact, but was filled with ocean debris, so it was unswimmable for the kids. Two of their pools were closed due to hurricane damage. We did use the beach, and while the kids were swimming, various items washed ashore, pieces of houses, wooden gates, etc.
Was docked next to 2 Canival ships - the Fantasy - which looked absolutely dreadful w/practically no veranda rooms. The other Carnival boat - I think it was the Miracle - looked much better. Of course the Wonder looked the best!!
On the last morning, our servers did say that the Magic was planning on going to CC this week, and if they did dock successfully, the Wonder would begin visits there as well. This is GREAT news for upcoming cruises!
