Woke up around 7:00am, I was to excited to go back to sleep. Took a shower and got everything ready. Someone came at got the bags that we didnt need to carry around 8:00. After that went to breakfast at the dolphin hotel. After breakfast went back to the swan and went up to the room brushed my teeth and got everything I was putting in my carrying on into my carrying bag. After that dad suggested we walk over to mgm studios since it was only like 5 minutes before 9 and we had till 11:30. Walked over the mgm studios, didn't go into the park but sat on a bench outside of the park for a while and then walked back over the the swan and dolphin hotels. We still had plenty of time to spare so I called my mom and told her we were leaving on the cruise today and said by since I didn't have service on my cell. I don't need it for work anyway. Walked over to the boardwalk and sat on a bench on the boardwalk for a while. Went back up to the room around 10:30 and watched tv tilll 11:00 when we needed to be checked out by. After we checked out we sat in the swan lobby, i decided to go play some games at the arcade, so I walked over to the dolphin hotel. Went back to the swan and sat, walked around, and took some pictures around the hotel. The bus was at the hotel at 12:00 so everyone that was staying at the swan headed to the bus to the terminal. The bus ride was the same as the other times, first half of the drive I listened to music and the second half of the drive they show a video of the cruise line. Got to disney cruise line terminal around 1:30 and went throught security pretty quick, at least we didn't have to wait on the bus for 15 minutes like last time for the prince lol. Dad checked us in and I took pictures of the terminal. After dad checked us in we headed straight onto the ship. Got our boarding picture taken and our name announced, still love that. Headed to the cabin and dropped off our bags and then went up to beach blanket buffet and after lunch. Left my dad after lunch to explore the wonder and see route 66. I had been on the wonder once in 2002 and the magic twice in 2005 and 2006. So I didn't really remember what route 66 looked like. Went back the the cabiun around 3:00 and chilled till the life boat drill. It was in Animator's Palate this time. After the life boat drill went back to the cabin and put the life vests back and then went to Adventures Away sailaway party on deck 9. Danced and had a good time. After that headed down to deck 4 and sat outside just watching us sail for a while. At about 5:15 went back up to the cabin and got my dinner clothes on and headed down to deck 4 and sat in the comfy chairs inside till about 6:05 and then headed to the Walt Disney Theatre to get a good seat for Hercules: The MUSE-ical. The show was actually pretty good, glad and went and watched even though I thought I wasn't going to like it. After the show went down to route 66 and sat in one of the round porthole windows and just watched us sail for a while, sitting there is my favorite thing to do. Walked around the ship and then headed to Parrot Cay for dinner. We had late seating. Met the two other couples and talked to them. One couple had been on another disney cruise also so enjoyed talking with them. The other couple had been on other cruise lines and were just trying disney for the first time this cruise. At dinner we all could feel the ship rocking quiet a bit. Left dinner around 9:45 and went to diversions to watch a football game, a lot of people were in there watching it too. Went to Wavebands and 11:00 and watched Time Warp: A Celebration Of the '80's. After that there was music playing and danced till around 1:30 and met some cool people.

next up, nassau, Discover Atlantic, The Golden Mickeys and Pirate Night

Woke up around 6:45, got up and took a shower and got ready for the day. Chilled in the cabin for a while then headed down to the internet cafe and signed up for some minutes so I could check my e-mail during the cruise. Around 8:00 went up to Beach Blanket Buffet and met my dad for breakfast. Breakfast was so good I loved it. After breakfast left my dad and went back down to the internet cafe and e-mailed my mom since I forgot to before breakfast. After e-mailing and stuff on the internet I went to deck 4 and sat inside in the chairs listening to music for a while. Then decided to move to the chair outside and sit for a while and listened to music out there. Walked around the ship for a while at that, then went back to the Atrium and saw pirate goofy and pirate stitch out for people to get pictures with, so got a picture with both of them. By this time it was 10:00, went and sat in one of the port hole windows on Route 66 for a while and then went back to the internet cafe and surfed the web a little more walked back over to Route 66 and sat in the port hole windows again, it started raining a little at this point so I watched the rain from there I like to watch it rain while on the ship. It stopped rainning after a while. Met back up with me dad by Wavebands since we had a excursion booked had to meet in Wavebands at 11:00. They started checking us in for the excursion and so they had two people doing it, pikey was one of them well pikey saw me and my dad and was like "hey, I remember you guys from the Magic" that was prob the magical moment for this trip. So after everyone was checked in we were all taken down to the pier and meet our tour guides for Discover Atlantis. Took a bus over to a parking lot close to the Atlantis hotel and walked a short way to Atlantis. When we got there split up into a couple smaller groups to tour the aquarium. The Atlantis Aquarium was pretty cool even though I am not much of a aquarium person, but I did it because my dad likes to do this kind of thing. The tour was over at about 1:30, so we headed back to where the buses were to get back to the ship. Got back to the ship at about 2:00 and left my dad to go get lunch while he went to the cabin. So I went up to deck 9 and got some pizza and fries good combo lol, got a soda too and sat on deck 9 and watched a little of high school musical 2 while eating. After that walked all around the ship and then headed to the internet cafe and went on myspace. Bingo was happening then in the promenade lounge and I heard one of the funniest thing and I know it was a joke but whatever it was still one of those you had to be there funny things, but anyway it was Pikey-"This is how Nassau people welcome you to the port, do you want your hair braided lady and once they asked Christiaan if he wanted his hair braided and he just looked at them and walked away". After that went to sit in the Atrium for a while. Saw my dad and talked to him and asked him how the Castaway Clubhouse thing was. Left him and went back up to the cabin and changed into clothes for tonight, went back down to deck 4 and sat for a while. Walked up too deck 5 and took some pictures then headed down to the Walt Disney Theatre to see Golden Mickeys. The Show was good once again, doesn't suprise me since it is disney. After that the shops were open since we left port so I went and bought some stuff to wear for pirate night tonight. Went back to the cabin and put some things in there and then went and walked around the ship some more. Went and watched the family dance party in the promenade lounge and just chilled till dinner at 8:30. Tonight we had dinner in Tritons, and dinner was good once again and got pictures taken at dinner once again too so that was more pictures to buy. Left dinner early at about 9:45 so I could go get a good spot for the pirates in the caribbean party, people were already up there dancing so I joined and and danced some too. The pirate in the caribbean party was a lot of fun again, characters, dancing, music and fireworks. After the pirates party head back to the cabin to put some more things in there and headed down to Wavebands for Krazy Karaoke. Krazy Karaoke was prob one of the funniest things this trip ian hosted it and he had everyone clapping and cheering along for the people who sang because if you were he would go up to you and make you sing a song he picked, it was a lot of fun. After that danced till 1:00 and enjoyed to night life in wavebands. Went back to the cabin and fell asleep.

next up, castaway cay and last day and night on board

This is how Nassau people welcome you to the port, do you want your hair braided lady and once they asked Christiaan if he wanted his hair braided and he just looked at them and walked away".

Pikey is good at telling stories. He told us a good one at one of our bingo sessions.

Woke up around 6:45, got dressed and chilled in the cabin for a while. Went down to the internet cafe and e-mail people and looked up some stuff then headed up to Beach Blanket Buffet for breakfast. After breakfast left my dad and went back to the cabin to get changed into my swimsuit for a day of fun on castaway cay, brushed my teeth and then headed down to deck 4. Sat down on deck 4 for a while then headed to the internet cafe to go on aim till we could get off the ship. When the announcement was made that we could get off the ship logged off the internet and headed and got off the ship. It was about 9:00 or so. Took the tram over to the family beach and found a chair in the prefect spot so I won't get lost going back to it later(the other trips I have got lost and couldn't find my chair)so this cruise I got one right in front of where the Gazebo was. Relaxed in to chair getting some sun for about a hour, it was really nice since not many people were off the ship yet so it was quiet still. I was starting to get hot so took a dip in the water for a bit and then went relax more and get some more sun. The only beach I will go to is Castaway Cay beaches I don't like other beaches. Walked off to get a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow and then also with minnie mouse. Went back and layed down in the chair for a while and got to hot so went to take another dip in the water. After that just relaxed again in the chair on the beach which had more people on it but deff not as many people as my cruise in August I could tell that for one thing. Dad found me and chated with him for a bit. He left his stuff with me when he went for a swim. Left the chair for a while and headed over to the Grouper Game Pavilion and played a little basketball just doing free throws. Went back and took another dip in the water since it was really hot that day, that hottest it's been anytime we have been to Castaway Cay I think. Went to get a water and finished that in a record of 2 minutes. It was about 12:00 and my dad was hungry so he went and got lunch and crab races were going on so I went and watched those. After that went to get two drinks, one was water and one was coke, drank both of them in 5 minutes. Lilo and Stitch were doing a Hula Dance at the Gazebo so watched that. After that went and took a dip in the water and got my picture taken. At about 1:45 or so went back over to the Grouper Game Pavilion and played some pool with a little kid who needed someone to play pool with, haha don't worry he won because I am no good at it. Watched the basketball free throw challenge that was then. After that headed back to the family beach for another dip in the water and then chilled in the chair till about 3:15 or so and started to head back to the ship. Got on the ship and went to the cabin to take and shower and pack so I wouldn't have to do that later and I could have a fun night unlike last cruise. So took a shower and got most of my stuff packed the rest I could do when I got dressed for dinner. Met up with my dad since he got on the ship before. Went up to deck 10 and got my picture taken. Left my dad and headed down to the internet cafe and went on line. Watched some people play bingo and just relaxed. Went back up to deck 10 and watched us pull out of Castaway Cay since we were leaving at this time. Headed down to deck 4 and sat in the chairs for a while. After that headed back up to the cabin to get dressed for dinner and finished packing everything I didn't need in the morning. Went and walked round the ship for a while till about 6:00 and then headed to the Walt Disney Theatre to see Disney Dreams. It was a great show once again. After that went to buy last minute things I wanted in the shops and went to put it in the cabin and then headed to the Atrium to sit on deck 4 and chill. Headed, met up with dad and went to get the rest of the pictures and shutters. Dad went back to the cabin and put the pictures away. and I got in line for dinner. We had dinner at Animator's Palate, Dinner was good tonight got to see two shows the Animator's Palate show and the show where the waiters and chefs walk around the room. After dinner left and went to 'Till We Meet Again in the Atrium and got some pictures. After 'Till We Meet Again went to Wavebands for the '70's Disco party, it was a lot of fun, afte that danced till about 1:00 and headed up to the room to get some sleep. All in all a great way to end the night.
