I am so sad to be home from vacation. We did the land and sea vacation and my whole family (husband and 5 and 7 year old boy and girl) agreed the cruise was the best and next time we would do a 7 day and skip Disney World. The weather was fabulous and we had a great time! I know several people had questions that I can now answer. They have started having a goofy pajama party on the Wonder (but Goofy never showed up for some reason!), which the kids enjoyed. They even got to color pillow cases. No lobster was served, but several scallop, shrimp, salmon and other fish options were available. The pirate party was fun, but we skipped the buffet because that did not start until the end of the pirate party and 10:45 at night was too late for my kids! We didn't need the extra calories anyway! The dolphin encounter at Nassau was worth the money, especially for younger kids. My daughter loved it! We had the first sitting for dinner, which was a bit of a rush some nights, but worked out ok. We loved the shows on the cruise - ranking them in order of favorites was 1) Dreams, 2) Golden Mickeys and 3) Hercules. I was impressed with the singing and talent in all three shows! Our 7 year old liked the kids club, but the 5 year old was not as excited about it and preferred to play in the Mickey Pool - so, we did not get as much adult free time as we had hoped, but that was ok. Character lines were a bit long at times and DD loves to get character autographs and pics... so we spent a fair amount of time in line! The food was decent overall - we especially enjoyed Tritons food. Animators was also a neat experience, but that was also probably our least favorite food night (but was ok). We skipped Palos since we only had 4 nights and did not know our dining rotation until we were on the ship. Check in and check out of the ship went very smoothly. Spent a lot of money at Shutters - but they take such great pictures we could not help it. We had a category 9 room (2632) and were happy with it overall. It had a huge porthole window, which the kids loved looking out of. The room was small - but we did not spend much time in it. It was noisy the morning we made it back to Port Canaveral (loading/unloading stuff), but otherwise was not too bad. (and I was nervous about the noise). The pools on the Wonder are way to small for the amount of people. I am so curious about the new ships and hope they have bigger pools! Castaway Cay was fabulous!!!! Miami Vices were my favorite drink (1/2 pina colada, 1/2 strawberry daquari)!
I guess that is all I can think of for now! We would definitely cruise again and with Disney, depending on price and locations. Ah, I miss the 75-80 degree temps and sun!
