Because I'm the Boss Of You That's Why! Last day, HOP ONBOARD!!! Updated 12/11

what a trip just to get on the trip.

I hope everything goes smoothly from this point on.
 
:scared1: I would have been very irritated too. I sure hope we don't have all of this stuff happen in June. I bet that Bahama Mama was GOOOOOD!!!!:thumbsup2

I'll keep my figners crossed for you Cherie. The Mama was :thumbsup2

Wow what a morning :faint: Glad you finally got on the ship though and yes the kids do look rather excited :goodvibes

Tell me about it! I'm not done with the day yet :rolleyes: :rolleyes1

what a trip just to get on the trip.

I hope everything goes smoothly from this point on.

I know it Scott! Very frustrating. For me. Pierre just goes with the flow :cool2:
 
Isn’t this screen fabulous? There was no glare from the sun either so you got a really good picture from anywhere. I could even see Toy Story playing when we were walking back to the boat one day, how cool is that?!

As I said before the kids were freaking :hyper: :hyper: out with excitement and I was ready to get this party party: started. I guzzled :drinking1 my Bahama Mama and Pierre was back in 2 seconds flat with another one. He was more determined then I was to get me outta my funk! Oh, I forgot to mention that I was paranoid about getting seasick especially since I wasn’t sure what the weather was going to do. I took Bonine, Dramamine, and these homoeopathic drops that go behind your ear. Bring it ON!!! The sun was out, ahhhh, now THIS is what I needed!

Another shot of the ship. I didn’t move much when we got to the party cause I’m all about being in the front.

IMG_0864.jpg


The music started about 4 pm and the ship’s crew came out one by one doing their thing. I thought one guy was going to spontaneously combust he had so much energy. Please boyfriend, tone it down like 30 notches! Rachel “youcancallmeJulie haha” was the cruise director but I don’t remember the other people’s names. They were panning the crowd with the camera and I saw us on the Dumbo Tron (or is it Ariel View?) We’re in the bottom left corner and you can see me taking the picture

IMG_0865.jpg


Mickey and his peeps all came out and the crowd went crazy! I only got a shot of Mickey but they all looked snazzy in their Shipboard uniforms.

IMG_0866.jpg



Bella and Cooper were loving it all. Or maybe just Bella

IMG_0867.jpg


I think Cooper was having a hissy fit about not having been in the pool yet. He had scoped out the Mickey Pool with Pierre and having just learned how to swim it was his top priority. STAT. I think the show was about 30 minutes and I told Pierre to let them take a quick dip or they would drive us bonkers until dinner. We had an early seating so that gave us time although I was dying to check out the boat. I was in love with the classic old style of everything and the workers REALLY work hard on it. I constantly saw someone doing paint touchups on non-existant chips and shining up the gleaming brass. Such a pretty boat! We headed back to the room to let the kids put on their suits and passed by the Elemis Spa. I could not WAIT for our treatments there! :cloud9:

IMG_0877.jpg


We had a category 10 room and I have say it was pretty roomy. I wasn’t sure at all what to expect especially with the split bathrooms but I was happy with it. The H2O products are AMAZING. I HAVE to get myself some of the shampoo and conditioner as well as the shea butter lotion. The hair stuff is more for dry hair but I guess they take into account the sun, chlorine and salt so it all works out. The hairdryer wasn’t bad either and I have really long hair so don’t bother bringing one with you. Being a hairdresser you can trust me on those 2 counts! :thumbsup2 I used the tip about an over the door shoe hanger to put stuff in and it was great. There is little counter space and if you have a bunch of stuff it can get crowded. I don’t have too much but wanted to put first aid type stuff and other things we would need to find quickly in there. The steamer trunk at the bottom of the bed was big enough to fit all of our cases.

Off to the pool! Need I say more?

IMG_0868.jpg


Who’s a happy boy then? Bella was up and down the slide a million times, as usual. I think we stayed about half an hour, enough to make us all happy. I was totally wiped out and felt crummy. Between waking up early, all the drama of the morning, Ecogirl leaving, it left me crapped out but I was going to make it to dinner. We were eating at Triton’s that night and I was looking forward to it. I was also anxious to meet our tablemates and see what they were like. And see if they could deal with our kids less than good table manners. Back to the room, we used the stairs just about the whole time, you can get a pretty good workout and Bella informed me that if I didn’t use the elevator I wouldn’t have to go to the gym. We got freshened up and just before 6 headed over to Tritons.

We were seated fairly close to the door, table 3 if I remember right. And a crying baby. Ughhhh, :scared: not good. Our waiter was very nice and really made an effort to make us feel welcome. Lookin’ up! He even wheeled the crying baby around, not quite to the other side of the dining room but it settled him down a bit so that was cool. We ordered some drinks, I got a Pomegranite Martini and Pierre got a Jack and Coke. Good, good! After checking out the menu I decided on the shrimp medley and a salad with goat cheese (my fav!) and croutons. They were both really good and I loved the croutons! I don’t know how they were made but they were fab! Pierre got the same salad and steak, he enjoyed it as well. Me and my girl!

IMG_0869.jpg


The kids needed to use the restroom and we found a Hidden Mickey on the way

IMG_0870.jpg


I had been on the thread for our cruise and enjoyed chatting with the people on there. We had planned to meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3 pm arrival day but that obviously didn’t happen because of the delays we all had :sad2: I was bummed but just as we walked into the restroom I heard someone shout out my name. It caught me off guard for a second but she said her name and she was from the cruise thread. It was Sue (Postalcop) :wave: HI SUE!!!!!!!! She had only JUST gotten on the boat, believe it or not. We chatted for a few and I was so glad she spotted me, actually I think she told me she saw Bella and Cooper first. Anyways, she was very energetic and friendly and I’m happy she caught us!

Back to the table and just after I sat down our tablemates were being led over. I can’t remember their names, so lets call them Mr Annoying and Mrs Snotty. :snooty: Good start- eh? They were kind of overbearing and braggy. “Well, WE’RE member of the Disney Vacation Club.” “Well, WE stayed at Old Key West.” Well, WE didn’t like Animal Kingdom Lodge when we stayed there so WE got half off this cruise” We this, we that.

Um. Are. You. Kidding. Me?

Luckily Pierre can pretty much chat with anyone and I had a couple of drinks in me so I behaved and didn’t tell ‘em what I REALLY thought of them. Besides, Bella talked their ear off. She has a habit doing that but at least she can carry on a decent, mature conversation with an adult. They also had 8 year old daughter and a 5 year old son so that’s why we were seated together.

Onto dessert! I had some Pistachio Ice Cream concoction that was totally good and Pierre had an Irish Coffee, can’t mess that one up. We bid farewell to our tablemates and headed to our room for the safety check. The time for our check was 7 pm because of the port change. Mmmm, that just made me realize, I can’t recall what time the heavenly horn blew :listen: :sail: but we DID hear it! I swear I waited 18 months to listen to that sucker in person so I had a big smile on my face when I finally did. We got our lifevests on and mine seemed a bit snug but oh well, I like things fitted so…. We had SOME walk to our station which I think was F. It was packed outside and I looked at the kids realizing Bella had on an adult lifevest. I looked down at mine and it said childvest. ooooops. We switched and it was much better! You can see it says adult persons

IMG_0874.jpg


Man, were they dying to blow the whistle, pull the cords and do each thing those vests could do! They were good though. After I told them they’d be thrown in the brig…… We headed back to put away the vests and freshen up for the Golden Mickey’s. I had heard a lot about how good these shows were so I had to see them. We were seated in the theater and it started. Unfortunately Cooper and I only made it through a 3rd of the show cause we were tired but what we saw we enjoyed. Especially the Cruella D Evil bit, she was fantastic! Pdog and Bells stayed but we went back to the room. I was about to introduce Cooper to room service. For fun. He wanted a ham sandwich and I got a cookie, I heard a rumor they were good so I had to! We didn’t have to wait too long and it was brought to our room.


IMG_0875.jpg


We ate a little bit and he felt quite fancy having it delivered. Doesn’t take much to please my cutie pie. I could feel us moving but only slightly and it was rather calming. Our room was very quiet and near the elevators- just so you know and are curious to book with DCL.

We hit the sack and didn't even hear Pierre and Bella come in. Apparently after the show they went somewhere and played in some game show. I know, I'm informative there, ain't I? Neither of them are here now for me to ask BUT they had a blast! We had plans in in Nassau for the morning and I shall update again on Wed! Enjoy my good friends!

I saw it on MTV as well and really liked it. Bella LOVED it (as well as the movie) so when I saw it was going to be in Providence I jumped on the tickets. I just got tickets for Mama Mia for Jan 4 so I'm excited for that, I didn't tell Bella because it'll be part of her x-mas pressie. I also got them a Wii but that's it. Me and Bella saw Mary Poppins in London 2 years ago and enjoyed it. Have you seen Spring Awakening? that's on my list too!

I've been a lurker on all your trip reports and I usually just use the links and skip the inbetween stuff. When I discovered that you seem to love musical theatre, I think I became an even bigger fan! I work in theatre and people like you who go see shows keep me employed. I love it! Thanks for sharing your family and experiences. And keep seeing live theatre! You never know what friend you haven't met yet from the dis boards may be working on the show!
 
Oh my goodness!!!

I am sooo jealous!!!!

I want to go on a cruise!!!!!!!!!!

Bahama mamas, room service, a beautiful spa...what more could a girl ask for?!?

Hi Sue! Glad you're getting the chance to catch up, I'm going to try and work on another installment today but the kids have a half day :rolleyes: Say hi to Nicholas and Christine from us. Photobucket can be a big pain in the butt but keep trying, I want to see your pics! I wish I had thought to get one of the 2 of us.

hello strangers

Well, well, well, I've been wondering you were. We miss you all over the place. Stick around now and you can hear about my cruise experience and I THE peep pic to blow all others away. Postalcop (post above) may have seen the same peep, he was hard to miss :eek: Glad you're back J!!!

:yay: Hi Stacybaesm and welcome! I'm glad you popped on to say you're reading! I ABSOLUTLEY love the theater and so does Bella. I'm proud :) I've really made the effort to expose her to the artsy side of life. There is a sound studio right next to my work and I have had a bunch of interesting theater folk in my chair. I just had a stage manager (who also did the tour with Journey :worship: and Hilary Duff to name a few) for an Irish dancing/singing troupe rehearsing for their European tour. A few days later I had a production manager for the Rockettes who are here rehearsing for their new show that will tour mainly in the midwest. I asked him a million questions about the Rockettes :thumbsup2 I can't wait till Jan when I am seeing Mama Mia!!!!! Stick around!

Oh my goodness!!!

I am sooo jealous!!!!

I want to go on a cruise!!!!!!!!!!

Bahama mamas, room service, a beautiful spa...what more could a girl ask for?!?


Hi Julie- the spa was :cloud9: You and dh must go on a Disney Cruise one day, you WILL love it! My next drink blows the Mama away :rolleyes1
 
:yay: :yay: :yay: Where the heck are ya???!!!! I miss you :hug: BTW I saw Ecomom in Target today- I gave her some hugs! I can't wait to see her face when she gets the shirt and she'll have to read a copy of this report. I'll definetly have it done by the time you get here and hopefully you can bind it for me again.
 
The cruise sounds fantastic so far, even with your table mates :rotfl: So is room service included? How about the shows???

It really was Jo :cloud9: Room service is included except for soda and alcohol (I think that's all) I conked out before the end of the show but Bella JUST told me she LOVED it (and she's singing Cruella DeEvil :thumbsup2 ) :rolleyes: on our tablepeeps
 
Day 5 DCL Bahama Baby!

Shocking as it may be I was the first to wake up. I slept GREAT, the mattress was completely comfortable just like the one in AKL. I have a Tempurpedic mattress at home and Pierre and I both hate it. It causes a lot of our back pain. I wanted to check out the gym since the pics I’ve seen of the fitness center looked really good, coffee was in order as well. I put my gear on and left the room, heading up to the drink machines near Beach Blanket Buffet. Again, the ship employees were out there scrubbing and painting away!

Check out this gorgeous sunrise picture :goodvibes

IMG_0878.jpg


Isn’t that beautiful? I could stare at it forever. This next shot is a bit cloudy but still looks lovely

IMG_0876.jpg


I got my coffee and wandered around for a bit to take it all in. I can’t believe I was finally on the Disney Cruise! I’d waited so long and after a tough family year I really needed it. Pierre and I haven't had a full day together since Jan when he left his job :sad1: We had different days off and no lie- it was hard! We were used to 3 afternoons a week with NO kids but NOT anymore…..I was looking forward to the kids being in the kids clubs and us spending some much needed time together. The coffee was WONDERUL, I need to find out what kind they use! I headed over to the fitness center and hit an elliptical machine, they are right in the front of the ship, talk about an incredible view! :worship: OMG! I just listened to my Ipod and stared outside for about 30 minutes or so. I checked out the locker room area and there were chaise lounges with foot massagers at the base. How cool is that? On my way out I made an herbal tea then got Pierre a coffee then watched us docking at Nassau. Having never been to the Bahamas I was dying to get off the boat and explore.

Back in the room, The rest of the gang were just waking up and excited to get a move on. Or maybe it was my yelling at them, not sure…. Anyhoos, I was hungry and wanted to eat at BBB. We also had to be in the Promenade lounge at 10 or so for our Nassau Harbor Tour excursion. I needed to see me some rich people houses and I heard this was the way to do it! I kicked their buns into gear and we headed over to eat.

At the door we were handed wipes, :idea: good idea, never hurts to clean up a little more. Each kid got a tray and loaded up on waffles with syrup as well as cinnamon rolls. Can’t go wrong with Mickey head waffles, can ya?! I told them to find a seat and they went outside while I decided what I wanted. Decisions, decisions. I found a table that had muesli, nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit. Yummers! I got some of that then made a beeline for the whipped cream I had seen earlier. LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!! I parked it outside with the kiddies while Pierre had an omelette made up.

IMG_0879.jpg


The food here is absolutely wonderful! Bella said the cinnamon roll was the best she’d ever had and I can easily say that about the muesli I ate. And the whipped cream. We rolled ourselves outta there and had some time to kill so I suggested we look in the kids clubs since we missed it the night before. We bounded down the stairs and headed over but the doors were still locked so we looked over the railing and saw that Wendy Darling and Peter Pan were out. Now B and C aren’t really into the characters anymore so luckily they didn’t want to go down there BUT they are into pirates and Capt. Hook happened to be on the same level as us. Perfect! There were only a few people ahead of us inline so even better.

Here is that ceiling sculpture we saw while waiting

IMG_0880.jpg


Capt Hook. ARRRGGGHHHH!

IMG_0881.jpg


They loved seeing him! After the picture it was time for the clubs to open and they each wanted to play in there for a bit before we got off the boat. Sweet, me and P will get some free time!

I signed Bella in first and she was on the WII before I left. See ya Bells! Off to Cooper’s club. It was so cute in there and I knew he’d have a blast! He takes such good pictures!

IMG_0882.jpg


Since they were both in the kids clubs we decided to hit up the Cove for some liquid refreshments. Surprised? LOL! We waited for the bartender to get there, he was late but very funny and let us know about his boss calling him 10 minutes ago to have a go at him for still sleeeping. Okay, another menu in front of me, too many decisions, :headache: whaddaIdo???!!! I let Peeps order for me that’s what! I sat on the edge of the Goofy Pool and dipped my tootsies in, so delish! Peeps came over with a Planter’s Punch and I felt naughty for drinking at 9 am BUT I was on vacay so I be cool…..:cool2:

Here’s Pdog and the Plantar’s Punch

IMG_0883.jpg


Look at that sky???!!! Do NOT tell me you don’t want to be there cause I know you are lying is that’s what you say! I didn’t have my suit on but he did so he went for a quick dip in the hot tub, we were the only ones around. I guess everyone else was still sleeping in. If *I* was in their room that wouldn’t be the case. I am WAY too much of an early bird but it has it’s advantages!


IMG_0884.jpg



We didn’t have too long before we needed to collect the kids so Pierre got out and we hit the bar again. This time I got my main cruise booze. I’m sure it won’t surprise you that I don’t remember the name but it was seriously THE bomdiggitybestdrinkeva! I just remembered! It was called the Bushwacker. I was sneaky and asked for a to go cup so I could take it off the boat. The bartender made enough for 1 drink but always gave us the leftovers so we always tipped generously. Especially since I earn tips… I can really appreciate it. I was giggling like a schoolgirl while I double fisted it! Don’t tell on me, LOL!

IMG_0885.jpg


We went to pick up the kiddies for our Nassau Harbor Tour and they loved the clubs! Yes, so happy! It really would have been a drag if they were miserable there. Over to the Promenade lounge and they gave us all name tags for the tour, I was so psyched! We were led off the boat, through the building where we heard some fab Caribbean music, around the dock and onto the tour boat.

We were led past the DCL boat

IMG_0887.jpg


Seriously, I had to beg for several minutes to get this pic but it was worth it

IMG_0889.jpg


Our guide led us past the boat and all the houses along the bay. We past Tom Cruise’s, the guy who owns Starbucks, Mick Jagger’s joint, Chuck Norris’ kung foo spot and the Island that the Blue Lagoon was filmed on. These are all pics from the tour but I don’t recall what belongs to who. It was a fun tour and I think it was $25 per adult and $14 per kid. If you sweat the celebs like I do, it’s worth it otherwise you might want to pass. I didn’t want to spend all the money to go to Atlantis.

IMG_0891.jpg


IMG_0892.jpg


IMG_0893.jpg


IMG_0894.jpg


IMG_0895.jpg


This was the Blue Lagoon Island, I LOVED that movie when I was young!

IMG_0896.jpg


Our guide pointed out Anna Nicole’s house too but I’m not sure which one it is. The kids must have been driving me bananas cause I wrote that in my notes but my memory fails to say what it was exactly. 5 and 8 year olds can do that to you….

We returned to the dock, got off the boat and went through the straw market. I saw a purse I really liked so made a note of where to return. We had no cash and had to find an ATM and on the way we hit up the packy to cut down on our DCL cost. The kids grabbed some drinks too, don’t worry, although it looks suspicious it’s soda!

IMG_0897.jpg


Bella declared the people of Nassau to be rude, in a Stephanie Tanner kind of way. She didn’t like all the haggling and pushiness and wanted to get back on the boat and go to the kids club. Peace out dudes! Fine with me, Pierre and I decided to take them back so we could go into Nassau by ourselves. Too be quite honest I wasn’t comfortable having them around that action anyways. Little scary…… We got a conch shell on the way and headed up to the boat for a bit, before hitting up the Bahamas again!

More later folks!!!!! :banana:
 
Oooh, I haven't checked in for a while and I almost missed the beginning of the cruise!!! It looks so much fun!!!!
 
YUM!!! Your breakfast and drinks sound delicious! Good idea asking for a to-go cup!

My family did a Disney cruise when I was a kid and I remember those pushy Nassau people...I was scared!

I can't believe how blue that sky is...:cloud9:

Hiya Heather! Glad you checked back in, the cruise was so fun! I'm going to start my next update so stick around.

The drink was called a Bushwacker, fantastic! I didn't realize you went on DCL as a kid, that's so cool! Maybe when there is a little Swan running around you and dh can go :) Many more good pics coming up!
 
Sounds like a great tour and not too pricey either :thumbsup2

Glad the kids like the clubs!
 
Great updates and pictures!! I'm having so much fun checking out the pic's. The drinks sound YUMMY and the tour sounds really cool. I'm keeping that in mind.
 
We got back on the fabulous Wonder and decided to head back to BBB for lunch before we hit the pool for a dip and took the kids to the clubs. A quick trip to the room so we could freshen up and put our suits on then off to eat!

At BBB our hands were wiped off again and got in line for some chow. Bella and Cooper love chicken tenders and fries so they got plenty of those and I loaded up on crab legs and a salad. We sat inside this time and the food was great again. Bella said the chicken was the BEST she had ever had. She’s a pretty picky eater and doesn’t make that kind of declaration often so I figured she was serious. I enjoyed my crab legs and was breaking them open to eat the meat. THAT did not end so well, I cut myself pretty badly on a claw and it took a while to stop bleeding. I get cut occasionally at work so it wasn’t a big deal but it seemed to take forever to stop bleeding. Luckily I had bandaids with me and disposed of my own paper towels! We finished up because B and C were dying for the pool. Off we go for some Mickey :smickey: and Goofy action!

We went to the Mickey pool first, it was shallow and I didn’t need to worry about Cooper as much plus Bells could go on the slide. When we got there of course just about every chair had a towel on it. That is SO :mad: annoying and rude. I found 2 chairs that didn’t have shoes or clothes occupying it and sat my buns down. If someone came over to stake their claim I would refuse to move and inform them that’s it’s too bad, no saving seats when there aren’t any free ones. It’s only fair, right?! I was enjoying the sunshine and heat while the kids had a blast. Cooper told me he wanted to do the slide so I walked him over but he chickened out when he realized he had to climb stairs. Well, duh, Coop, whaddaya think? He bailed so I sat again and was just chillin’. Then I saw Sue!!!! :disrocks: Her hubby and kids were with her so I waved and she came over. I got to introduce her to Pierre and we chatted for a while, Peeps disappeared for a few and came back with a fruit platter and another Bushwacker for us. Do I have him trained well or what?! Kidding!!!!! I probably would have done the same for him, :lovestruc love that guy! Anyways, Sue tried the drink (after we pretty much forced her, LOL!) and I think she liked it! Her little cutie, :cutie: Christine, came over and I met her, an absolute adorable doll, and my kids met her as well. It was a highlight of my trip to meet another Dis’er and be able to chat in person! I’m just bummed that I didn’t think to have Pierre get a picture of us together! Anyways, Bella wanted to go in the Goofy pool so I said “See ya later” to Sue and we went over. Da-yung the ground is H-O-T!!!!!!!


Bella started to elbow me in the ribs about this guy. :eek: JORDAN!!!!!!! HEADS UP!!!!!!

IMG_0899.jpg


I’m sorry but is he kidding? For real? Nu-uh. This does not happen in real life. Does it? I can’t get over the fact that someone went out in public dressed like this. We just about busted a gut giggling over it before we got to the Goofy Pool. Bella dove right in, you could barely see Goofy so I wasn’t too sure about it. Germs. Eeeeew. Pierre came over and took a shot of me, drink in hand

IMG_0900.jpg


Look at Bella in the water, does that even look like Goofy? It looks more like Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants to me!

IMG_0901.jpg


She insisted I get in with her so I did. Gross. Warm water. Very warm. I heard the guys next to us laughing over the hot pink/yellow shorted Peep dude. And not MY Peep, Jordan’s peep. I informed them that I took a picture for posterity. Ahh, good times, good times. Toy Story was playing on the Dumbo Tron so I watched that for a bit between Bella yelling at me to get a picture of her doing backwards summersaults in the water

IMG_0904.jpg


IMG_0905.jpg


Finally they were ready for the kids clubs so we got them dried off, cleaned up and changed before dropping them off. Wey-hey-hey, naughty times in the room before we refilled our *cough*cough* water bottles and got off the boat again.

IMG_0907.jpg


Water or not? LOL! We skipped off the boat, back into the straw market. I had my eye on a Coach bag that I wanted and when we zipped through with the kids I only saw 1 of them. Those women working their stalls are RUTHLESS and I almost saw a cat fight between them, RRROOOOOOWRRRRR! I saw a few other things I wanted and made Pierre out to be a MAJOR cheapskate who would only spend $20-30 on my anniversary pressie. I got some ‘Coach’ sunglasses and a ‘Tiffany’ necklace. Now, I do have a few real and fake Coach bags but this was the first fake Tiffany item I bought. I love the silver collections they have and Pierre always buys me something for my birthday and Christmas from them. I have the bracelet that matches. It looks completely genuine so who’s a happy girl? ME!!!

We checked out more before heading over to Senor Frogs for a drink. I’d heard a lot about that bar so it was a must do! We hung a left at the end of the stalls and were confronted by a real life drug dealer. :scared1: OMG! I couldn’t believe he came right up to us and asked if we wanted anything so I had to ask him “Why us? What made us look like we would buy anything from him?” I can’t remember what he said but I had a good laugh over it. I’m still baffled! We walked away and into Senor Frogs, luckily it was close by!

Talk about a Bahamian looking bar! There couldn’t have been anything else done to it to make it more islandy (is that a word?) The bartender took our pic and I love this shot, we just look so happy and chilled out! My real Coach is around my shoulder and THE prefect travel purse!

We left after 1 drink and wove our way back through the stalls, luckily Mr. Druggie was gone, and I needed to find my girl who had the ‘Coach’ bag I must have! I talked her down to a measly $30 and we joked around, she told me she was pregnant. For 2 years….

On our way back to the boat we walked through the building and these guys were jammin’

Love that Caribbean sound….. we went through the security line and onto the boat. Time to get our kiddos. Pierre was hungry. Again. He wanted to grab a snack at BBB before dinner so he went in and was trailing behind cause the kids needed to make a pit stop. I met him outside and he was sitting down eating a shrimp kebob and some other stuff that was totally yummers so of course I ate off his plate. Hey, that’s what hubbies are for, right??!! The shrimp was gorgeous and I needed me some more! I went up to the little buffet set up outside, how fancy is that? It was so nice out there, bright blue sky, front of the boat, not many people so it was very nice and intimate. I got another plate and was asked my name.

me “Say what?”
“Your name Ma’am”
“ Um, Leyla L.”
“You're not on the list”
“What list?”
“This is a private party. You need to leave”
“Oops”

Yah, kinda embarrassing :rolleyes1 We were escorted out but in the stairwell we were giggling and told the waitstaff what happened and that the shrimp was FABU. They told us to wait and guess what? They came back with a FULL plate for us and told us to have a great time!!!!! GO DCL!!!!!! You rock whoever did that! Isn’t that a trip??!! I still laugh over it!

Back to the room we went (with our heads held high BTW!) We were eating in Animators Palate tonight and I was really looking forward to that, plus it was the Pirates in the Caribbean Party. I had wanted to eat at Palo's but it was only a 3 night cruise and I wanted to enjoy dinner with the 3 loves of my life.

I borrowed pirate outfits from my girlfriend for the kids and they were beside themselves with excitement to wear them. Another view of our room, the top bunk pulls out from the wall above.
