Just Relaxin’ on the Wonder – Nowhere, Nothing, Nada. - Complete! and Final Thoughts

[dolphingirl47]

I hope you are having a magical trip. I can't wait to read what you are making of the Dream. After we planned two trips on her this year and neither came off, I start to wonder if I will ever get to sail on her.

mmm, I love those Grand Marnier souffles! Enjoy the Dream!

All of your photos with the characters are very nice. Congrats on your gold membership. The meal at Triton's look very appetizing. I can understand why you like this restaurant a lot which has good choices of dishes to eat.

Triton's is always great when they serve the rotational menu. They have some very nice choices there.

Sounds like you had fun with the characters!! And that blue margarita dotd looks fabulous!!

I'm a suckered for Blue drinks.

This is a great picture of the three of you!! And I love !!!! that dress! I think the color really suits you!

Thanks! I love a good red dress!

Another great looking drink! I need to try to remember this one, it sounds delicious!

I can tell you having sampled one yesterday it is still good!

Michael would agree with you t

He is a smart man.

I have always been afraid of ordering lamb on the ship as I am afraid it might not be good. But if you recommend it, I will make sure to try it next time.

Lamb is great at all the dinner locations. I have not been as impressed at the buffets.

Yes, the first one does look a bit flat, I was going to comment on that. I am glad that you got a second one. I always dream of ordering two, but then am always so full after the first one. Those soufflés are so good!

I don't care if I'm full. I eat less of the entree so I can have the second souffle.

I love the decor in Triton's! I hope they don't destroy it when the refurbish the Wonder. Lumiere's on the Magic is so boring in comparison and the Royal Court/Palace on the Dream and the Fantasy are too over the top in my opinion. But then, Triton's was the place of my first ever DCL dinner, so it does have a very special place for nostalgic reasons as well.

Triton's will always be my favorite MDR, but I'm looking forward to trying Royal Court.

Thank you for the link I watched Inferno and Purgatorio. Wow! Intense! Scary! Your solo was eerie. Your band is so good! That music was super hard! And you are first chair! You go girl! Is Fran the first chair clarinet? I see her right there on the edge front row, left side, right?

It was pretty difficult, took a lot of rehearsal time. And yes we are both section leaders.

And loved your cruise pictures too! I love y'all's clothes! The Mickey shirt and that red dress! You both have such nice clothes!

Thanks, we try.

I would not want to wait a long time for pictures and those girls making the characters "play with themselves" How many people were on the cruise?

It was annoying, but the ships are the only place I ever wait for characters so I chalk it up to experience.

The food looked delicious as always! And the restaurant wall was beautiful. Do they tell you which restaurant you are assigned to? And you eat at a table with other people? The same other people all the time?

When. You get your KTTW, you find out your dining rotation. You'll be in one of three restaurants every night, unless you opt for the up charge restaurants. Or you could always skip it and go with the QS locations.

 

[franandaj]

love the pictures, that red dress looks great on you.

You can never go wrong with a Mickey Bar

Thanks. I am partial to red. Nope. Mickey Bar is always good!

Just a little behind...... I am all caught up now.

1. It is great to see Fran walking. I know the the leg has been super painful.

Any time she is walking is good.

2. We are doing the WBPC cruise in May. I am happy that we will be leaving and not boarding there in SD. Looks really painful

I've heard bad news about leaving San Diego as well. Be prepared for a cab fiasco unless things have changed a lot.

3. I hate that the DVC meeting moved to embarkation day! It is already jam packed. I refuse to attend. I loved the first ones I went to and now they are just not as fun.

Having only been to that one meeting, I don't know what they used to be like.

4. I am a little woozy from your mixology glass. I love having fun at those, but I am a real light weight. I would have gone to bed for the rest of that day.

Unfortunately I am not, so I can handle a bit.

5. Good thing I have already eaten. Your pictures are killing me!

The food on the cruises is definitely good.

6. What a great room! I am one of the wierdos who love sleeping Aft. The vibration puts me out faster than anything!

Having a mid ship room right now. I think I like aft as well.

7. I have never done a B2B. Good to know it is easy if you get the same room.

It is quite easy when your room is the same. I can imagine it might be more difficult if you have to change rooms.

8. That red dress looks amazing!!

As always, thanks for sharing!

Thabjs! I am partial to red dresses.

Another member of the Triton's fan club--it is also my favorite DCL MDR. In addition to the French menu, I love the décor, especially the mural. The Little Mermaid is my favorite and I've been fortunate both Wonder cruises to site right by it--able to admire it all through dinner.

Yeah. Triton's is definitely my favorite. I love the idea that you are supposed to feel like you're under water .

Also like hearing your gold status stories--my first cruise as a gold castaway member will be the west coat repositioning from San Diego to Vancouver in May. Already anticipating some rice krispie treats!

The Gold reception is nice. Fran is enjoying the discount at the gift shops.

Lovely character pics and I liked your Cali style for formal night. Is the Gold/Platinum reception worth going to? We haven't been to one either.

The free drinks are nice. You also get the opportunity to talk to the officers. The rice krispie treats are nice but not the sole reason to go.

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Hi Ladies. I hope you are both enjoying The Dream! Yeah re Gold status congrats and I also agree red is your colour for sure. A mid ship staterroom is new to me. Been aft and forward how is it? Are you near the elevators ok? I hope that you are both well and that Fran's little bit of mobility continues!

Cheers me dears! We fly next week!

 

[franandaj]

Can't blame you there. Why ruin a perfectly good dish by throwing olives in it?

I think I see the problem.

I bet you do.

How you were able to keep from going into full thermonuclear meltdown? You must have the patience of a saint.

Oh, you have noooooooo idea. Today proves it.

Just like the Star Wars drink!

That one was good too!

Great pic with Stitch!

We got some good ones on this trip!

Sorry, I know it wasn't funny when you were standing in line, but reading it like this is hilarious! I'd expect this from children so this is a little strange. And the fact that they packed every character to bring to pictures is crazy to me!

I was amazed too. They weren't in the Jack Sparrow line come to think of it. Maybe they didn't have a plush for him.

Yes! The candy paid off! I don't remember if you said or not, but what kind of candy were you handing out? Like the halloween treat sized candy or more specialty candy like Ghiradelhi?

We were handing out the individually wrapped Ghiradelli squares, they sell them in big bags at Costco. We figured that we could say it comes from our "home state" and that would be good. The only other candies native to California that I know of are See's and Jelly Belly.

The ears are fabulous!

Thank you! I would have worn them on my birthday, but the tiara was more appropriate!

Oh I bet you're right!

Yeah, that first night I waited forever!

What the heck is up with Fran and either no desserts or Mickey bars?! Oh well, at least she got something for dessert this night.

She is trying to cut down. Even skipping the booze. I guess she didn't want to gain 10 lbs like I did.

I knew i'd see this again.

Well Of Course!

Mmmmmm...I think Triton's was my favorite dinner (besides Palo) on the cruise. I had the lamb AND the duck, and both were wonderful. That Grand Marinier Souffle looks great also!

Triton's is still my favorite, although I haven't been for dinner at Royal Court yet, but it beats Lumiere's.

Just catching up! So many great photos. I love the sealions. Your breakfast looks yummy!

I'm glad you're catching up! I'm behind!

Oh my re your cat Milo. Sorry for your worry. I love the photos of you both and the lovely port shots. Thank you. I am liking your cruise very much. I loved when you said the smell of the port replaced by bacon and waffles, our kind of morning!

Yeah. Milo. : Bacon and waffles. mmmmmmm

I like this buffet.

It was OK, I prefer the "steakhouse" buffet.

That Mickey head pasta is cute and the soup looks delicious

That was one of the highlights.

This does look really good though.

It was!

Love the photo.

Thank you!

That line looks impressive. I think the only times I have seen lines that long is for the Princess Gatherings and some of the special character meet and greets on some of the longer cruises.

It was pretty long only because Donald was delayed, but people left really quickly and it thinned out quite a bit. Those princess gatherings are unbelievable!

Unfortunately I have met people like this in a number of cruises. The longer cruises tend to attract them like magnets.

Really. That's unfortunate.

I am glad that you did get to meet them.

We didn't have much else that we wanted to do.

Oh, I like this one. Unfortunately it rarely seems to make an appearance.

That's too bad, it was really good!

I was invited to this on my second cruise, which was before they introduced the tiered system and then when I came back after this, I was no longer able to go until we turned gold.

Interesting. I'm glad we get to go now!

I think there is an old friend of ours in that photo. This looks like Pierre, the Food and Beverage Manager.

We ended up talking to the guy in charge of port adventures for a while.

That is a nice touch. Whenever I have been to those receptions, Captain Mickey visited.

That's strange I wonder if he tied one on and couldn't make it.

I like the new signature on the formal photos.

I didn't even notice it! Doh!

All three of you look amazing.

Well thank you very much!

I love this dish and I am not keen on rind either.

So do they remove the rind before frying it?

Firstly, I just noticed your ticker says 3 days, YAY!!!

Now it's been three day!

Those girls in the character line would have made me avoid them like the plague. I could not have stood behind them and witnessed that.

We tried to ignore them. I ordered the photo package and wanted my money's worth!

What is all this hating on olives? I know you don't like them but there's several others on here too...

They're salty in an icky way and make things taste funny. I can't help it if folks agree with me!

Fun that the sealions were still there

I thought they were cute. I'm glad they weren't too stinky.

 

[franandaj]

Those are wonderful FE gifts. You did a great job on them. I wish there could be something like that for Disney resorts but I know the logistics of it would be a nightmare!

Thanks. I can't imagine at WDW, maybe DL, but it would be a nightmare at WDW!

That Nightmare Before Christmas event sounds like a lot of fun. Then again, I'm all for a rousing sing-along, even when it's not Disney.

Sadly we didn't get to that one.

Those are wonderful pictures of you and Fran. Definitely frame-worthy.

Thank you. I have a wall of family photos at home, maybe one will make it on there.

Candy makes everyone happy! I'm glad the bartender gave you some pixie dust because of it.

It was nice. He was so sweet. He saved all the candy for his kids back home in Jamaica who he was going to see in 2 weeks.

Omg, ALISON! Where have I been?!? I have been so busy and forgot to catch up on your TR. so much to say:
That's so brave of you to do 2 FE groups. I can barely handle one!

I don't know where you've been, but I know I'm behind on your TR (as well as everyone else's) as well!

We aren't interested in getting off the ship in Ensenada either (except we just went to that shopping building at the port...next time we will stay on the ship!).

Yeah, unless you have something specific and good to do, it's no fun. Kind of like Tijuana.

Your pic of the soft serve...it was also Ensenada day that DS and I discovered the mango and blueberry flavor. Yummy! It was already gone by, I think, the next day!

I think that's the flavor that Fran had.

Those girls in line would have annoyed me to death!!!

I just had to "let it go". What else do you do?

You looked fabulous on dress up night in that red dress!!! We missed Minnie in her formal wear...so beautiful. I especially loved that you had Minnie ears I the pic!

Thank you very much. She looked great. I wish I could pull off a feathered dress like that!

Your BBB kids tray...LOVE it!!! Somehow, one or two of them followed us home!

Lastly, have an awesome cruise!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

I ate before I came in here to catch up! But that didn't help one bit! I'm hungry again and I want a Mickey Bar, a soft serve, souffle and that chateaubriand!!!

Well I'm having the soufflé tomorrow. Not sure about the other two. Certainly not a Mickey bar tonight, I have bigger plans!

Love the red dress on you. You look fantastic!

Thanks! I'm partial to red!

What a shame about those two girls always being in front of you at character meets. Once or twice is okay but not every single time!

Well I don't think they were in the Jack Sparrow Line.

Have a GREAT trip! I see you're down to 1 day. Enjoy.

We are!

Safe travels!!! I hope to see you in Florida Text me when you get off the ship. I'm sorry we didn't figure out something before this.

I will text you as soon as we are on the bus!

I feel your pain.

Have a great trip!!

Thanks, I finally caught up on the sleep and we are.

Enjoy your trip! The Dream is awesome.

It is pretty nice, the jury is still out as to whether I like it better than the Wonder.

Yeah, she was good.
Then again, she usually is.

It really looks good. I must have had it! Somewhere.

I would hope so!

Ah. Were there a lot of Anime people there?

No, I don't think so. They could have just been Disney fanatics. I saw their doppelgangers on this cruise.

She sounds like my DW... or my DDs for that matter.

"Okay! I've got a dozen cookies made and cooling. Off to work, bye!"

9 hours later.

"Hi! I'm home!.... Who ate all the cookies!?!?"

Yeah, story of my life. "Darlin' what happened to those...."

I've just stopped asking. I find the empty wrappers either under the bed or in her trashcan.

Midnight snacks.

 

[franandaj]

I hope you are having a magical trip. I can't wait to read what you are making of the Dream. After we planned two trips on her this year and neither came off, I start to wonder if I will ever get to sail on her.

Corinna

I'm sure you will. It's definitely not the Wonder, and I may probably have some strong thoughts about the differences. But I will have to leave that until the cruise is over!

mmm, I love those Grand Marnier souffles! Enjoy the Dream!

Jill in CO

Thanks! Can't wait to try Remy tonight!

Hi Ladies. I hope you are both enjoying The Dream! Yeah re Gold status congrats and I also agree red is your colour for sure. A mid ship staterroom is new to me. Been aft and forward how is it? Are you near the elevators ok? I hope that you are both well and that Fran's little bit of mobility continues!

Cheers me dears! We fly next week!

We are enjoying the Dream, and a Mid Ship stateroom is new to us as well. We are near the elevators, but boy are those Mid ship elevators crowded!

I hope we get to see you at least for a tiny bit!

 

[franandaj]

Day 5 was approaching and I had another restless night, but not as bad as the first night. I awoke for a few minutes and put on the movie Bolt. Evidently, it wasn’t so bad (sleeping that is) as I don’t remember much past starting the movie and seeing a little bit before falling back asleep. But finally I was successful at capturing the Sunrise!

You can see the Mexican Coast off in the horizon and it is obviously still storming there, but we had clear weather.





Now keep in mind, I took probably over 100 photos and I have whittled them down to just these few. You can see the sun is just starting to peek through.



And then it begins to rise on the horizon.



Moving out for a wider view.





Looking back behind the boat it was still fairly dark.



Back to the sun.



And there it is. Any further shots would really have benefitted from my Neutral Density filter, which I still do not have.



After the sun came up, I came back to the room to catch Monsters Inc. I perused the Navigator, wrote some trip notes, perhaps checked online a little bit and played solitaire on the tablet. I did a lot of that on this trip and it was kind of zen like. But for now lets take a look at the Navigator.













Once Monsters Inc. ended Monsters University came on the TV and we decided it was time to get out of there or we might get sucked into watching another movie.

We decided to go back to Triton’s for breakfast. It is really the best option on the ship when you’re not in a hurry or have a Palo reservation. We both went for Cinnamon Rolls, because Cinnamon Rolls, but she added a chocolate croissant.





I like variety and don’t like to have the same thing several days in a row, so today I went for the Three Egg Omelet with your choice of Peppers, Onions, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Ham or Cheese. Yes, and while you’re at it can you add some of the spinach from the vegetarian omelet?



Doesn’t this look yummy? And I have my liquid veggies in the glass in the background.



Fran got the Waffle Sandwich, Two Waffles stuffed with Dulce De Leche and rolled in Sugar Cinnamon and garnished with Watermelon Wedges! Talk about a Glycemic Index Chart Topper! I believe she also got a side of bacon.



If you checked the schedule on the Navigator you would have seen that at 10:15 Mega Jackpot Bingo was happening. We’ve enjoyed that in the past and decided to go with it today. We headed down to Route 66 where Wavebands is located to secure our spot.













There weren’t too many people playing for this round.





I remembered from the last time we played Bingo that they had a drink here that was really really tasty! It was a Passion Crème Freeze, Orange Passion Fruit Juice, Vanilla Ice Cream and Grenadine. So we both ordered one. We also got the Family pack for Bingo. It came with two game consoles each loaded with 24 games. We also got each got paper game packs, 3 cards for each of the 4 games that we played.



The first game was traditional Bingo, one line any direction. I believe that the second game was X, make an X including the Free Spot. I won that game and $214! I think the third game was top row or bottom row, the last game was blackout and we weren’t lucky enough to win another game. Also no one won the $5000 jackpot. All in all it cost us $60 to buy in and we won, so it was a net win there.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I prefer the "steakhouse" buffet.

I like that one, too.

So do they remove the rind before frying it?

They must do or else I would notice.

Corinna

 

[franandaj]

After Bingo we browsed the shops. I know she bought something, but I don’t remember what it was. I took some pictures of the shops while she was shopping.

















After we left the stores, we found the Trick or Treat stations, and picked up a few more candies on our way back to the room.



I saw this gathering of children in the Atrium and was so glad to be on the 4th floor and not the 3rd!



Fran wanted an ice cream so we went up to Deck 9 to get one.



Then we went back to the room, I found A Bug’s Life on the Pixar channel and we watched that while we chilled in the room for about half an hour 45 minutes. We had a 2:00 Mixology class and I wanted to make sure that we didn’t do that on an empty stomach, we couldn’t get as “happy” as we did at Saturday’s class. I had checked out the lunch menu at Triton’s and it had a few items to fit the bill. Around 1:00PM we headed out to lunch after Flick introduced Hopper to a nice bird, and the Ants lived happily ever after.

They have these cute little jacket napkins when you sit down.



Today’s menu







I had the French Lentil Soup. It was not what I expected, but it was very good.



Fran had the……wait for it…..can you figure it out? Did you read the menu?



Strawberry Soup. Two of them. Then she went for the burger. It’s always on the menu and it’s always pretty good. Nothing awesome to write home about, but certainly good enough for lunch!



I had the Fettucine Pasta with Homemade Meatballs in a Rich Roma Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Shavings. This was so good, but not the best choice before a drinking class. I certainly was not on an empty stomach and I had no problems, but I ate the whole thing and it made it a little hard to want to chug any beverages as I was already really full. We were full from Palo at the other Mixology class, but had some time to digest before the drinking started.



This time we went right from lunch to Mixology and I was still digesting when we sat down. However this was good since we didn’t get nearly as “happy” as we did in the last class. You may recognize some of the drinks from the previous class.



The host took a slightly different approach to this class as he did to the first. He didn’t give nearly as many chances for people to blurt out answers for shots. Instead he awarded them to folks. Also he chose people to make the drinks and mostly they were the women in the class. We started with the jalapeno margarita and there weren’t nearly as many people who didn’t like it. Fran didn’t get a bunch to finish off. Then when we got to the second drink he selected me to make one as he recognized me from doing a B2B. I told him that I wanted to make the third one since I made the second on the last cruise and he obliged. Since it was the Halloween day, I was up there with Princess Leia. I think when he was pouring the alcohol in my drink he mentioned that a count of four was one shot. He was pouring for a good couple counts before he actually started counting and eventually he counted to eight!



She got awarded a shot for having lots of children.



We mixed our drinks, shake, shake, shake….





He garnished all of our drinks.



You can see how the regular sized drink compares to the samples that they served us. Evidently Fran didn’t feel the need to steal this drink like she did in the last class.



As in the last class, once I made my drink we kind of glossed over the last drink. It was good but we were involved in chatting about the drink I made and then it was time to make that same drink we made in the last class. Fran decided to make two using her jalapeno martini glass. I was OK with the one, since I was trying not to get drunk today.





Even if we were trying to be moderated in this class we still needed a bit of a nap. The Class ended at 2:45 and I have no pictures so we probably headed directly back to the room.

 

[dolphingirl47]

It's definitely not the Wonder

I think I feel this about a lot of things. I wonder how I will feel about the Splendour of the Seas next week.

But I will have to leave that until the cruise is over!

I am looking forward to read what you made of it.

Can't wait to try Remy tonight!

I hope that you have a wonderful time and that it is all you are hoping for.

The sunrise photos are really dramatic. I love that waffle dish that Fran had. Congratulations on your Bingo win.

Corinna

 

[dhorner233]

I like everything that Fran likes! The waffles, the strawberry soup, the burger, the ice cream!! I'm gaining weight just looking at your pictures!

The mixology class looks like fun and the pictures of the sunrise are stunning!

Why were all those families in mass on the 3rd level?

Thanks for sharing the cruise with us!

 

[afwdwfan]

You can see the Mexican Coast off in the horizon and it is obviously still storming there, but we had clear weather.

Good pictures!

We both went for Cinnamon Rolls, because Cinnamon Rolls

Works for me!

ll in all it cost us $60 to buy in and we won, so it was a net win there.

Not bad at all. Had some fun and came out with enough money to pay for your drinks.

saw this gathering of children in the Atrium and was so glad to be on the 4th floor and not the 3rd!

Holy cow! Was that the line for Olaf or something?

Fran had the……wait for it…..can you figure it out? Did you read the menu?

Because when there's strawberry soup and Fran's present...

However this was good since we didn’t get nearly as “happy” as we did in the last class.

Well, it helps when you get about 20 free extra drinks handed to you.

I think when he was pouring the alcohol in my drink he mentioned that a count of four was one shot. He was pouring for a good couple counts before he actually started counting and eventually he counted to eight!

A double! Looks like another fun mixology class. Even if less alcohol was consumed.

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Loving the photos of Mexican coast. I love the cinnamon rolls! That sure is a fun packed Navigator. Great movies in the theatre. Inside out yeah! Sounds like you scored some good movies in the room also. Titans sounds a really good option for breakfast.

Bingo sounded fun. We went to play on one cruise. We were shocked by the prices but looks like the house did not win in this case! Well done for your winnings!

Mixolgy sounds fun, oh yummy burger for lunch always good. I am with Fran on that one! Also the shopping lol.

Sounds like a fun day Alison. Maybe see you at VWL next week. I am praying I get on that plane on Monday!

 

[cruisehopeful]

I can't wait to read your comparison of Wonder vs. Dream.

 

[Steppesister]

Well, crap. I read the update a couple of days ago, thought I replied, then realized. Nope. Nada. Nothin'.

Let me re-cap. You 2 really look like you're having a blast! So many activities to do and have fun with. Wow! I love all the fancy-schmancy napkins and desserts. But I really love the mixology events you're doing.


Keep on posting fun stuff for me to fill my break with, K?

 

[Dis_Yoda]

I love the way you cruise! Its very relaxing Congrats on winning at Bingo! Mixology is such a fun class to do each cruise! Glad you didn't get too beat this time

 

[mcjingles]

Which stateroom was this?

 

[franandaj]

I think I feel this about a lot of things. I wonder how I will feel about the Splendour of the Seas next week.

I hope that you enjoy the ship. Everything can't be the Wonder.

I am looking forward to read what you made of it.

I'm going to try and keep my comments until the end.

I hope that you have a wonderful time and that it is all you are hoping for.

The sunrise photos are really dramatic. I love that waffle dish that Fran had. Congratulations on your Bingo win.

I will say that Remy is a Jewel of that ship. I never did get the picture of the rat that I wanted. Next time.

I like everything that Fran likes! The waffles, the strawberry soup, the burger, the ice cream!! I'm gaining weight just looking at your pictures!

Welcome to the club. I gained 10 lbs on the ship!

The mixology class looks like fun and the pictures of the sunrise are stunning!

Mixology is the most fun class of all the tasting classes.

Why were all those families in mass on the 3rd level?

Thanks for sharing the cruise with us!

There was some Halloween Storytelling going on. I think it was something like the "Story of the Pumpkin Tree". I know it's in the Navigator, but I'm too lazy to go look it up. Besides, I'm powering through to get another update in before dinner!

Good pictures!

Thank you

Works for me!

Mmmmm.... Cinnamon Rolls.

Not bad at all. Had some fun and came out with enough money to pay for your drinks.

Well....some of our drinks...

Holy cow! Was that the line for Olaf or something?

Almost! It was a kids storytelling activity for Halloween. After the Trick or Treating I think it was the story of the Pumpkin Tree.

Because when there's strawberry soup and Fran's present...

Pretty much.

Well, it helps when you get about 20 free extra drinks handed to you.

A double! Looks like another fun mixology class. Even if less alcohol was consumed.

It was maybe even a triple! We consumed enough and since we wanted to be able to walk for the Halloween party that night it was good.

Loving the photos of Mexican coast. I love the cinnamon rolls! That sure is a fun packed Navigator. Great movies in the theatre. Inside out yeah! Sounds like you scored some good movies in the room also. Titans sounds a really good option for breakfast.

Thanks, they really packed in a lot of fun. I still have yet to see Inside Out.

Bingo sounded fun. We went to play on one cruise. We were shocked by the prices but looks like the house did not win in this case! Well done for your winnings!

Yeah and on the Dream they have "bigger and better" pricing for Bingo!

Mixolgy sounds fun, oh yummy burger for lunch always good. I am with Fran on that one! Also the shopping lol.

That burger is particularly good.

Sounds like a fun day Alison. Maybe see you at VWL next week. I am praying I get on that plane on Monday!

I sure hope we can see you. I know you have jet lag on Tuesday, but Wednesday we only have time to pack, grab lunch and we are on DME back to the airport.

I can't wait to read your comparison of Wonder vs. Dream.

I'm not sure it will be that "insightful" unless you are in a similar situation to Fran any myself, but I'll give it a go anyways.

Well, crap. I read the update a couple of days ago, thought I replied, then realized. Nope. Nada. Nothin'.

I hate when that happens.

Let me re-cap. You 2 really look like you're having a blast! So many activities to do and have fun with. Wow! I love all the fancy-schmancy napkins and desserts. But I really love the mixology events you're doing.

Thanks, we really were having a great time, once she got over her sleeping. They really do make things to a fun and fancy affair, but if you want to skip all that, up on the pool deck they have plenty for folks who just want pizza, hot dogs, burger and chicken nuggets.

Keep on posting fun stuff for me to fill my break with, K?

Oh believe me, as long as I can find time to post I'll have fun stuff. The thing is once I get home, we have to go into overdrive to clean out the old apartment. I saw on your thread you asked me what we do. I get into it there.

I love the way you cruise! Its very relaxing Congrats on winning at Bingo! Mixology is such a fun class to do each cruise! Glad you didn't get too beat this time

We try to not pack too much in, but still have fun. Usually that means some eating and drinking and not a lot of strenuous activity!

Which stateroom was this?

It was 6154. It's a handicapped room and able bodied folks can only book it if it is vacant during boarding at the port. It rarely goes unbooked due to it's size and location.
