Well we are finally unpacked and the laundry is done! First I want to thank everyone on this board for all their insight, and very helpful info.
All I can say is WOW...I am ready to go back on another cruise. 3 nights is not long enough. Now if I can just figure out a way to pay for it.
A short (hopefully) trip report.
CBR Resort is beautiful. We stayed in Jamaica 4300 and was only a short walk to the main pool and food court. MK was extremely crowded on the Tuesday we were there and HOT. All the other parks we had little to no wait for anything.
On to the cruise. Wow oh WOW!!! I have cruised before, but never with Disney. There is nothing like seeing the Wonder for the first time. AWESOME. We arrived a little after 1 via DCL pickup from the AK and walked right on the ship. The rooms were ready and our bags were waiting for us. We were on deck 2, we had Cat 9 and our DS's (21 and 14) had a cat 12 just down the hall. The lunch buffet was delicious, I could have eaten shrimp all afternoon. I did notice Carnival Cruise leaving before us, the decks were quiet compared to the party going on for us.
Dinner at Tritons the first night, more shrimp for me, DS(21) tried escargot. yuck. But he loved them, we had Dario from Croatia as our server and he was wonderful. AP was the next night, loved the walls, but the food was OK, hey I didn't have to cook or clean so everything was good for me. The PC the last night was a great dining room. I do have to say we were a party of 5, and shared a table. Unfortunatley the people we shared with were less then thrilled to share a table and basically ignored us the entire time. Oh well, more time with our boys for us. DS was even given a double order of the snails when we ate in PC from Dario since he loved them the first night so much, apparently he went to Tritons to get them for him.
My DS (7) LOVED the Oceaneers Lab, we had to drag him out for dinner and he actually was upset that he still had a hour to go when we picked him up at midnight. DS(14) had a ball at Common Grounds and we only saw him at dinner as well. DS (21) hung with mom and dad, but that was nice since he is usually away at college.
Nassau we stayed on board, had the pools basically to ourselves. CC was incredible, the oldest 2 and DH parasailed, the are still talking about that. I swam with the youngest and we had a great time. A konk cooler is not to be missed, and I will admit i had one at 10 am. However sunblock 50 generously applied several times still had me burnt. Smooth sailing the entire time.
Well I went on and on and I swore I wouldn't. So, as soon as we can we are taking a longer cruise!!!! Once again thanks for everyones help and info.
