Jan. 26-30 Wonder Part 3

I want to say that Baggies were great! All sizes of see-thru bags for whatever. Also, the accordian file for documents, Shutters' photos, Navigators, etc. Binoculars. A journal to write it all down. Lysol air freshener. I did have to tell Ana that the bathroom in 5022 was a little smelly upon arrival. She immediately came to do something about it. But just to let you know, I noticed that the toilet brush was set across the vent in both bathroom floors and that might have solved the problem too. The bathrooms were great. The showers were better than I expected--like home, not like camping. I was sure to take them before the ship sailed, however .

We didn't get off the ship at Freeport. Made the kids go to the clubs (too chilly for them to be at the pool) while we got a workout in the spa. I brought my own earphones and music tape. They play music, but I was glad I had mine. Then wraps, pizza (Tex-Mex special of the day, YUM!), etc. Movie-Big Fat Greek Wedding. Got there at the time it said and the theater was dark and it was starting. We sat quickly in the back. People were there with their small children (hello---PG13!!) Kids, parents--rude. Talking in regular voices. I moved closer to the front but missed the beginning. Funny movie. Sail away at 5 with the usual wonderful music. Dressed for dinner and then went to see the wonderful juggling show. Animator's Palate dinner. The "show" was entertaining, but the food (though good) was not as great as the first two nights. Loved the lobster and shrimp wrap appetizer. I got the salmon with maple glaze. DH and DS13 got the beef every night. Walked around boat. Shutters.

Bed by midnight. Another Wonderful day!

Wanted to add that we also went to Barrel of Laughs for the dueling pianos before dinner also. It was great. They had the kids participating "on stage" and the adults participating from the seats. Wish we had remembered our video, again.

I'm happy to read your reports!! I have a LONG time to go, but I really like reading trip reports from guests on the Wonder!!! Thanks for taking the time to post them!!

I tried to touch on the highlights without too much detail, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

We had a fantastic time and you will too! Now I am reliving it all through our video and pictures! You can never have enough of those! I just wish I had made my family gather for at least one character photo (like Donald or Daisy who are hard to find at WDW), but we never found the time to do that (my kids are a little older and we have lots of character pictures from previous WDW trips. ) I almost got in line myself, but felt silly. I should have!

The maple-glazed salmon is one of my favorite things to eat on the ship. I'd eat it every night if I could! Well, maybe not EVERY night--there are too many good choices!

Oh, don't get me wrong. All the food was great (especially since I didn't cook it), but the dinner the first night at PC and the second at Tritons (sorry, I can't remember what I had but it was the fish special and my husband always got the beef) was so wonderful that I guess we were just comparing tastes. The sea bass at one of the first two was wonderful.

There wasn't anything I didn't like! My plate was embarrassingly empty at every meal!
