Wow! We are exhausted! This has gotten really long, I apologize in advance!
I am a complete spaz and TOTALLY played in the pool during the scheduled DIS meet!! I was so upset, but had no way to get in touch with anyone
DD came down with a serious ear infection on Thursday so we had a nice $105. fee added to our KTTW card Gotta love it. They were so great, the doc was terrific.
We had a wonderful, amazing time. Let me see what I can mention. We had Dennis and Maria for dining room servers, and Erwin for Stateroom steward. I can't say enough good things about him. We had a "Privacy Please" sign on the door the enitre day while DD tried to recoupe for Castaway Cay and everytime I went in our out of the room he would say "How is she?" Then we finally vacated the room for dinner, and I took the sign off the door. I thought he would just make her an animal and pull down her bunk. The room literally looked like a bomb went off from the day in. I couldn't imagine he would have enough time to clean the ENTIRE room!! He was great.
Let's see what else.
We had brunch at Palo, and of course this was the day DD was sick so DH backed out to stay with her. We assumed we would have to pay for him, but they said no problem and took his fee off the reservation. We had Jemma as a server and she was fabulous! Man that pizza is to die for!! That and the Orecchete pasta.... YUM YUM!!
Had a massage in the spa, and my only complaint (That I wrote down on the comment card) was that the basketball court was right above us. You could hear running and boucing through the entire thing. They should have put Palo above the spa. JMO
Then of course my massage therapist suggested I needed over $230 in facial products.... so I caved and bought a $49 exfoliater. Jenkies!! If I just signed the thing.... (I was kind of out of it after the massage, it was wonderful) my bill would have been $340.
We saw dolphins leaving Port Canaveral and coming back, made it very special for my daughter (and me).
The highlights... the Doubloon Schooner excursion in St Thomas.. Very special, awesome awesome excursion. I was nervous about dd snorkeling, she was amazing. She was even letting the air out of her lifejacket to go down to the turtles!! We had such a great time!
We also went on the Bridge tour and there were LOTS of questions regarding the repositioning and they weren't budging an inch on what everyone already knows! One person did ask if they are going to build a new ship and the response was simply that they are "Testing" the waters with the several months in the west and they are taking it from there. No info there There were posters in the elevator etc regarding the repositioning tour, and also sales info in the room.
For complaints... we got to Castaway Cay at 9:00, supposed to disembark at 9:30. Well, we sat in the stairwell for over an hour. We were on deck 7 and the stairs was were full from deck 1 all the way up to deck 6, because of course the elevators were not functioning. DH was ready to go back to the room. I don't really know what else they can do, but on the Wonder last year, we arrived at Castaway Cay at 8:00 and were on the beach by 8:35. MIL's parasailing excursion, along with others were very late starting due to no one being able to get off the boat.
If anyone has any specific questions, I would be happy to answer!
