Cranberry or Pineapple??

Your camera takes great pictures!!! I actually liked the escargot on the ship, I was quite suprised!!! Looks like Shirley did a great job on the baskets. Keep it coming, I love it!! It is helping my day out!!!

I just got done with the last day of flu shots!!!! No more needles for another year

 

[ImMarcik]

I didn't too much care for the escargot. My camera doesn't do inside darker shots as well but I was really happy with most of the pictures. I bought the scrapbook while on board and I told my family we can't go back until I finish the book haha.

Okay, after dinner we went see Hercules which ended up being the favorite play of our family. Hades was hilarious. After the show we went with Aerial to the lab and she checked in for the first time. We went to wavebands to watch match your mate and then stayed on for 70s night. I told Dane about the BBC and he ordered one, I wasn't sure if I would like it so I ordered Bahama Mama the drink of the day. Well I tasted his BBC and I was hooked LOL. I drank half of his and then ordered my own. My favorite drinks were BBC, Konk cooler and strawberry Daquris. I never did end up doing the martini tasting. I can't wait until next summer to get another BBC. I bet it's really nice and refreshing in the summer.
Okay I have my drink, I'm finally starting to really relax and I'm feeling a bit better.They start playing the 70s music and Zack is running around in his funny wig LOL. He comes to our table and grabs my hand and says we have to dance and he then tells Dane to get out there too. We had so much fun, we were dancing and Zack comes up to Dane and asks him if he wants to be a judge. Well LOL that was really the john trovolta contest. Dane ended up winning the contest. It was soooo fun.

By the time we got in the room Aerial was on the bed watching a movie. She liked the lab okay but it wasn't like she had to be there every second. She also loved all the movies.

I am enjoying this trip report. Makes me so homesick for the cruise. I have to say Marcie, that you have a good looking family!! I love the part about the BBC's. Aren't they addicting? Shame on Heidi making alcoholics out of all of us! I like escargot on the ship as well. Congrats to Dane on the John Travolta contest. My camera doesn't do real well in that bar either. We were in a talent contest on the ship and the still pics came out identical to yours.

Thursday was Nassau day. We ordered coffee from room service and decided that from now on we will order coffee. That was sooo nice. Then we went down to Parrot Cay and had a quick breakfast on the way to meet up for the Dolphin excursion. I loved the boat ride, seeing all the scenery and you could see Atlantis really good. We did the enounter where we each had our picture taken hugging the dolphins. One of them we had in our group was in a Mary Kate & Ashley movie. It was really a neat experience. After that we went to the spa for the rasul. Dane didn't too much like all the things to rub on like the salt scrub. It did relax him though because he was really sleepy after. So, i suggested to him that he nap while Aerial and I go to the Golden Mickeys, so he will be awake enough to go to Wavebands later. This gave Aerial and I a few hours to spend alone together. We had fun, we went to studio sea and the Golden Mickeys. At Studio Sea they called my number for Who Wants to Be a Mouseketeer. I won a very nice crystal souvenir for playing. I didn't get any good pictures of me in the hot seat but thegales told me they took pictures so hopefully I will get to see one. After that Aerial went watch a movie while we went to 80s night at wavebands, we layed low and drank BBCs.
Editing to mention Thanksgiving. I forgot. They served us lobster for Thanksgiving. Our server Ivana said it was like the feast on the Magic. I've never eaten lobster so good. Everyone was dressed so pretty for Thanksgiving and Mickey and Minnie were dressed as pilgrims for pictures. It really was a nice Thanksgiving.

Glad you enjoyed the BBC's!!!! Those are the BEST!!!!! I can't believe Dane was suckered in to being "a judge." Atleast the crowd liked him and he got first place!!! Me, I am not that outgoing and would have been too shy to even do Who wants to be a mouseketeer!!!!

Was the dolphin experience worth the $$$?

 

[ImMarcik]

Thank you Sandy

When they called my number I tried to get Aerial to go up there and she was like oh no that's your number. I told the guy this is supposed to be for the kids LOL. But once I got up there I was okay, I was so relaxed by then and having so much fun and I was thinking no one will ever see me again so what the heck have fun. Maybe it was all the alcohol haha. I really have not relaxed and let loose like that in years. Later in Wavebands, the assistant cruise director, I think his name is Christian, who put on the Mouseketeer gameshow came in and he says hi Marcie to me. I really loved it how all the CMs got to know us.

The dolphin encounter was worth the money for a one time thing. I don't think I would pay for it twice. We had a lot of fun, but you are only in the water for about 15 minutes. But it took half the day for the whole thing. I was happy with it.

Friday was our anniversary and sea day. On the way to brunch we ran into our head server Pierre who told us about being close to the magic in about an hour. I got pics but not as good as some people because we were in Palo then.

Brunch was great. We had Joost from the Netherlands. He was such an incredible server. We told him it was our anniversary and we would be there for dinner. He told us he could pretty much guarantee he would have us a front window table since we had 6 o'clock ressies.

After brunch we hung out on deck and watched the Magic and CC.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I can't believe how you got to see the Magic at CC, that is so cool. I love looking at the pictures everyone took of the Magic from the Wonder and of the Wonder from CC, such a great memory for you all, not everyone gets the chance to see that!!!

 

[ImMarcik]

As for Dane, he doesn't embarass easy. I am a lot shyer then him. His job is a trainer so he stands in front of people all the time and gives classes.

Later during the day Dane and I went check out the rainforest. That place is like heaven. We stayed about an hour and loved the aromatherapy steamroom. I will definitely be doing this again on my next cruise. I may also check out the new villas on the Magic if I can save up the money haha. After the rainforest we went back to the room and Aerial was there so we got her and went to play bingo. We were playing our very first game and Dane gets a Bingo!!!! He won $244. That was sweet with us booking another cruise.

After Bingo Aerial went back to the lab while we got ready for Palo. We had a very beautiful sunset view while getting ready.

 

[ImMarcik]

We got all dressed up and went to Palo where we were met by Joost our server from brunch. He brought us to the promised table right by the windows. Wow what a dinner. He brought us way more food then we ordered. I ordered a pizza for appetizer but he brought me shrimp too. The shrimp were so awesome. Then I ordered Filet and he brought out some lasagna too which was so good. I wish I would have ordered that. The chocolate souffle was amazing.

We were there for 2 hours and left so full. After that we met Aerial at the movie theatre, she watched Sky High and then we all headed to the Pirate Party. We did not touch the buffet. Maybe next time. LOL. Oh and we missed the Animators Palate show. That was our second night in Animators but since the night before was the lobster thanksgiving meal they didn't do the show until the next night. We will have to catch that show next time. Pirate night was okay. If Aerial would have had a friend to hang out with she would have had more fun at Pirate night. We ended up playing ping pong.

BEAUTIFUL picture of the sunrise....that picture takes your breath away. Wow, way better than the "famous" sunset in Key West.

Geez, how lucky you guys are!!! And to top it off, Dane wins at Bingo!!!! Nice junk of cash to help out!!!!

Saturday, CC day. I woke to the knock on the door of room service. Dane was on the Veranda looking at CC. We had the view of the island. We drank our coffee and ate donuts and got dressed. There wasn't many people on the beach yet when we got there. We got a hammock right away and layed in it for a while. The weather was great.

We did the stingray excursion at 11. It was really neat but there aren't that many fish to see besides the stingrays. I can't wait to go in the summer when the water is warmer. We had lunch at Cookies and cookie dough ice cream yummm. Next stop was Conched Out Bar for a Konk cooler. We got the big cups full and headed out on the beach where we ran into a DIS member and his family. Aerial built sandcastles with their daughter. I decided to go to the post office so I took off with my drink and went get a postcard to mail to Aerial. I put on it that I can't wait to see her next summer and signed it, Big Mama the stingray . By the time I got to the post office I was buzzing. When I got there the post office was closed for lunch . So I sat a while and then walked all the way back. Once back I needed a dip in the water.

We wanted to play the 4:15 bingo so we left CC about 3 and dropped the postcard off on the way to the ship.While getting ready for bingo I watched banana boats go by from the veranda that was so neat.

We didn't win bingo this time.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Wow, what a sunset. It was so beautiful. I didn't realize that the two ships were going to be in view of each other. How cool is that? You are such a skinny minnie!

Heidi, are you ready to start packing for our trip?? This day has been way to hard on me with all the pics. Can't wait for Sept!

Could everyone PM me whether or not you have mailed your gifts yet? Thanks!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi Selena, I see your little green circle light is on.

 

[Jsme]

Hi. I have not been able to post for a while and I was just trying to catch up...lol

 

[Jsme]

Marcie I love your picture of the sunset. I would love to have a copy of that if you do not mind. I think I might use it for a door magnet on my Enchantment cruise. Would you mind to make me a copy and allow me to use it for a magnet???

 

[Jsme]

Hope you all like your new "home."

Have fun!!

We like it very much. We were just waiting for someone to come and move us....Thanks

It was time for our last dinner. Saturday night we were in Parrot Cay and we wore our matching mickey outfits.

Right after Ivana our server took this picture I was rubbing my tummy because I was so full and she asked me if I was pregnant. Hahaha. Noooo just eat way too much. I ended up gaining 9 pounds the whole 10 days but I've already lost all but 3 of it. We had Ivana and Kabelo for our servers they were great. They surprised us after dinner with the anniversary cake. I really was surprised because we had already gotten the plate in Palo.

We talked about going to Pub night but by now we were all pretty tired. Dane wanted to see a movie but I would have slept through it, so we just decided to bring a drink to the room, pack and go out on the veranda.

 

[ImMarcik]

Our last breakfast was in Parrot Cay. It was time to say goodbye to our lovely servers. Aerial wanted a pouty picture because she didn't want to leave. This really was an incredible trip. I think the next one will be more exciting because we know what we are doing. LOL.

Things I really really used that I learned from the DIS. The Downy Wrinkle Release. That stuff is great. Also I used the power strip a whole lot.

Next time Dane wants to watch a movie. I sleep through movies so I rather do other stuff. I want more time in the spa. And of course more BBCs hahaha.

 

[ImMarcik]

One more pretty picture. Sunrise on our anniversary sea day.

 

[ImMarcik]

I haven't said yet, but I had my gift at my house when I got home. Is it Sunday yet? haha.
