Chilly's Very Own Fairytale - Day 10

[Chilly]

January 3rd 2010

Woohoo its cruising time! We got up, packed the last bits and called bell services. We asked them to take 3 of our suitcases over to AKL and store them there while we were on our cruise which they did with no problems. We headed down to grab some breakfast before my parents picked us up. I was very sad to be leaving the Poly, it was a beautiful hotel, with lovely rooms, a fab beach, great location because of the monorail and I hoped we would be able to return here one day. I was also sad to be leaving my bouquet behind.

One last photo before we left.

We drove to the port with no problems and said goodbye to my parents, their ship was docked next to ours and was much bigger. We got through all the official bits with no problems and looked at the ship model.

We headed onto the ship and were introduced; I hadn’t told DH about that, he thought it was very funny. We headed straight to Parrot Cay to get some lunch. DH was very excited by the buffet and we both sampled lots of items.

We headed to our room stopping to admire the ship along the way.

We were pleasantly surprised to find our luggage already there and then I tried to break the record for most photos taken of a cabin.

Balcony:

Waiting for us was a card and some badges.

I unpacked our bags and then we went to have a look around and then head to the sail away party. We went to the spa and we were shown around and DH treated me to a massage which I booked for our day at Sea. We then went outside and I saw Mickey coming out of another door and heading up some stairs so I quickly ran after him.

We had a walk around and then found a place to stand and off we sailed. I waved like mad to the ship my Mum was on in the hope they’d see us.

We moved over so we could see the stage and the party started.

It was pretty cold out there but we stuck it out. After it finished we went back to our room to get changed and went to the Golden Mickey’s show before onto dinner at Parrot Cay. We were seated at a table for 6, the 2 other couples were also honeymooners, one couple was American, and the other couple were Chinese but they lived in America. Conversation wasn’t lively with me and the America wife doing most of the talking. The Chinese couple only really spoke when we asked them a direct question.

I had Island Roasted Rib-Eye of Beef with Double-baked Potato and DH had pork (I think – sorry I didn’t take very good notes).

I think these were our puddings (I thought I took photos of all the food but I don’t seem to have enough).

At the end of our meal each couple was presented with a cake and they sang Happy Anniversary to us to a tune they'd made up.

After dinner we walked round the ship some more. At some point we went onto the Internet but that may have been earlier. We went to Wavebands and watched a Mr & Mrs quiz which proved very funny. I guess the contestants thought as it was Disney the questions wouldn’t be about anything rude but they certainly where, but asked in a very un-rude way. One question was where is the most unusual place you have “discovered the magic”. After it finished we had a dance and then retired to our room.
