Continued from last post...
When we got tired of all this beach fun, we headed back toward the main area of activity. It was lunch time, so we hopped in line for our food. The line was pretty darn long, but it moved at a fair pace.
Once we had our food, we found a place in the shade to eat. We’d also seen on YouTube that Lookout Cay had a problem with flies, but we didn’t have that experience at all, thankfully.
We took our time, getting more ice cream and just relaxing.
After a bit, Micheal spotted Donald Duck out meeting guests, so we hopped into the short line!
I loved his fun outfit!
We also checked out the junkanoo photo ops.
Next up, shopping at the gift shops! We bought a few items, including a keychain for Ashlyn and a tropical Mickey for Miles. We really just took our time making our way back toward the ship, at this point it was around 3PM, which meant we still had plenty of time before the all aboard would be called.
What did we do? Went back to the ship! We wanted to check out the Aquaduck on the Fantasy! This turned out to be a fantastic choice, because almost everyone was still on the island. We did the waterslide over and over and over with little to no wait. It was so much fun! You can ride single or double on a raft that goes through a water slide that circles most of the ship. We really loved it!
Then, Micheal took Miles to enjoy the smaller water slide while Ashlyn and I went to find some pizza and chicken fingers. It was a super relaxed afternoon without the hordes of people!
There was no need to rush back to our rooms to get ready for the evening show, as tonight we wouldn’t be having a show. Instead, it was Pirate Night! We’d brought clothes to wear. Well, with the exception of Micheal because every party has a pooper. Ha! Just kidding.
This was where Ashlyn finally met up with the YouTubers. At some point in the afternoon, Miles and I were riding the elevator coming from getting (more) pizza and ice cream and taking it back to our room.
The YouTube family was on the elevator with us, and the kids were chatting with Miles. They were SO SWEET. No cameras were rolling, and they were just genuinely kind.
I considered telling them that my 15 year old was low key stalking them, but I decided not to. They’d mentioned they were going to be at the pirate party, so I knew to keep an eye out for them.
The Pirate Party would be taking place before our 8:15 dinner seating, so we made our way out to the main deck to join the fun. That place was packed! But it was manageable, and we were looking forward to it.
Eventually, I spotted the YouTubers and pointed them out to Ashlyn. She gathered her courage and went to say hello. The gal was very gracious.
We stayed for the show and truly loved every moment of it.
Unfortunately, it was during this show that I began to realize I wasn’t feeling too hot. Like, the world was spinning around me.
I managed to ignore it, and when the show ended we went back inside the ship to meet some characters before dinner. But my dizziness was turning to nausea. The seasickness had finally found me.
Micheal took Miles to meet a few characters while I went to our room to lay down for a bit. I don’t know why, but it didn’t occur to me to take an extra dose of Bonine. I’d been taking it faithfully once a day since 2 days prior to the cruise.
When it was time for dinner, I met Micheal back on deck 3. We were eating at Royal Court once again, this time for the Pirate Night menu.
I can’t remember what I ate, only that my seasickness continued to get worse throughout the meal. As it turned out, it wasn’t only me. Miles started feeling woozy too. We must have hit a bad patch in the water. I took him to the bathroom because he wasn’t feeling too great. Then, when Micheal finished eating he came to the bathroom to sit and wait for Miles while I went back to finish my meal.
Needless to say, I was glad when that was over!
I went back to the room, and Micheal took Miles and Ashlyn to meet more characters. It was at this time that I realized I could take an extra dose of Bonine, so that’s exactly what I did.
Micheal and Miles made it back to the cabin just in time for the fireworks at sea, which we could see clearly from our balcony (hooray!). Won’t lie, they were a little puny. Haha!
Once that had finished, we were pooped. Went to be and slept soundly! The next day was our sea day, and we (mostly) looked forward to relaxing.
