ok so here goes the salad story!

We had dinner at Parrot Cay tonight

Loved the decor, and we had a great table in the back middle with a view of everything.

now, a little back story. We had a few running jokes the whole trip, and tonight's big one we still use and talk about! First of all, we joked a lot about our servers. They did such a good job and were very nice, but as time went on we "learned" about them. Not to mention, our head servers accent was SO THICK half the time we couldn't understand him! He would tell us teh specials and we would all be nodding away, and when he walked off we would all go "what did he say?!?" We leared Allwyn, our assistant server, poor thing, tried so hard but seemed a bit nerdy and spacey, but def. a perfectionist. Sometimes he would talk to us or ask a question and we wouldanswer...and then he would just stand there...it was really akward but hilarious, we loved him!
Then we had Ricardo from Peru. (whom we could hardly understand) he kind of was mean to Allwyn, well, not mean..just fussed at him a lot and was just not very kind to him, he called Allwyn a "special case.." Ricardo took a LOT of pride in his work, and always wanted everything to be perfect.

Ok sorry for the long backstory. Well, on this particular night, we were all in a silly mood and having a good time. Ricardo took our orders, and then our drinks came. IN hindsight, I should have known from the start what was going to happen becuase all the drinks were one person off to the left (I got my moms, she got my dad's, etc.) we just switched them, no big deal. Well, we order, and mom and dad order salads, Bobby and I do not.
Alwynn comes over and brings the salads and sets one in front of my mom, and one in front of Bobby. Trying to be polite, we didn't say anything, we just waited for him to walk off, and then bobby gae it to my dad. hehe. Little did we know, ricardo was watching! He comes RUNNING over saying NO NO!! His salad!!! and gave Allwyn this ugly look! Bobby said "no it's ok, I didn't want a salad..." and he said "NO! eat your salad and deliberately picked it up and with very exagerated movements put it in front of Bobby. Then he looked at Alywn, nervously laughed ad made a motion like he was slitting his throat LOL!!!! We didn't know what to do! Then, They run off and come back with ANOTHER salad for my dad, and stand there hovering over us, then walked off but were still watching and my dad said "BOBBY EAT YOUR SALAD!" and he said "I don't hae a fork!" and I yelled "just USE YOUR HANDS!! eat the SALAD!!"
we were DYING laughing. I know it may not seem all that funny to a reader, but if you were there...I was laughing so hard my cheeks and stomach were hurting so bad! Here is Bobby petrified staring at the salad that wasn't his but he had to eat anyway for fear of death!

for the rest of the trip we would say in a funny voice really fast "EAT YOUR SALAD!"

Ok so there is my salad story, and yes we still say it everytime we see a salad. Oh, Lord, what a fun night!
This was a yummy dessert!

After a fun dinner, we were tired! We went back to the room and found this

We decided to change clothes and walk around the ship, and go pick up our castaway cay purchases

we decided to walk around the jogging track

my parents went to bed and we walked to check out the gym. When we came out to the adult area, they had made it a very "zen" place. They had these low colored lights on, white curtains up on the sides, the chaird pushed together and big pillows and blankets were on them. they had this relaxing music playing, it was so nice! So, we sat for awhile.

We were getting pretty tired, so we decided to go to bed, too.

Up next, Nassau and a flood!

I have never seen the adult pool area setup that way, that looks so nice. Wonder if this is a Wonder thing!?!?!?

 

[pamcarey]

Love the salad story!! I would have been dying laughing too!

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

Also LOVE the salad story!!

Thanks for the update!!

 

[MommaMouse411]

lmao...eat your salad...thats too funny girl...good TR...I like the details..that's kind of what I've been looking for...

 

[ArmandXG]

Eat your salad!... too funny! They make a mistake and your hubby is the one punished and forced to eat something he didn't order. I guess you should be thankful they didn't continue this throughout the entire meal!!!

I love the adult area. I wonder if they would be upset if someone fell asleep out there? It looks too tempting.

Enjoying your report and photos. If you don't mind me saying, I think the picture of you wearing the hat is very cute. Looking forward to reading the rest!

The salad story is very funny! This will be a family joke for you for years to come! That's what makes your memories so special!

I don't see how you could stay awake in that "Zen" area - Day in the sun, big dinner, drinks - most relaxing place ever! - it looks like a perfect adult nappie time all set up!

I know, i LOVE inside jokes like that. so funny. between that ad the one from the toll booth "throw the dollar in!" we say those all the time.


more coming up!

We woke up the next morning still moving. We had not yet docked in Nassau. We got ready and went up to our favorite breakfast spot, outside at Beach Blanket.

we went up to the front after breakfast to watch the ship dock. It was neat seeing the port as we got closer and closer

We got off the ship and headed to the taxi area and were immediately ambushed and shuffled into a taxi to Atlantis. My parents have been thre before, but Bobby and I had not. They flew down to Atlants with the Regis and Kelly show (yes, they are groupies in the fan club and follow them around) and got to go to some tapings, and stayed at the hotel. Bobby and I wanted to just look around and check it out.
We get in a taxi RIGHT as the heavens let loose, it started POURING!
The taxi driver was driving like a bat out of hell so we made our best "we are going to die" faces.

oohhhhh

luckily, when we go there we were brought to a covered area at the casino entrance so we didn't have to get wet.

We walked around some of the shops, just looking at everything, then we played some slots. It was REALLY crowded. Taylor Swift was playing a concert in the next day or two so there were teens all over! We wanted to go chec out the pool but they had a guard by the door so we couldn't even go look.
I felt bad for all the people who booked the waterpark excursion because it was still POURING with no end in sight.
nerd

We went to the main lobby check in area and sat down for awhile, went back to the casino, etc. We thought about trying to wait out the rain, but it did not look like it was stopping anytime soon so after about an hour or so we just decided to go back to the ship for lunch (aka FREE lunch!)

up next: will we get soaked going back to the ship?

 

[Curtis McCrea]

Can't wait for more!

 

[byejou]

More, more, more........I am hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cheryl726]

Nice pics from Atlantis!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Sorry you didn't get to enjoy the whole resort at Atlantis. It is so amazing - I earned a trip there with my company a few years ago - hope we go back next year! This year is our cruise. Anyway, I love the pics you did get! Looking forward to more! I'll bet you start back to work this week?

 

[UGAFan0829]

Great update! I'm glad y'all made it in the taxi before the rain came! Talk about good timing!!
