May 8th 3 night Wonder

[MODisneyfan]

Well I guess that it would be best if I started by how I got to this point first huh, Well in Oct 2007 I went on a Carnival Fam trip where I was introduced to 2 very special people. We were able to see a couple Carnival ships but while we were in the port we got to see the Wonder and the Magic from afar.. Well all 3 of us being huge Disney fans, decided that Carnival was just not the right cruiseline for us.. WE wanted a DISNEY cruise.. So after going our seperate ways, we emailed and called and 2 weeks later we were able to book a 3 night on the Wonder for May 8th 2008.. It seemed like it was so far away and thinking a bout it now, it was just like yesterday.Well we did have a few problems along the way but it all was settled until about a month before the cruise one of the girls had to bail so it was just the 2 of us now.. So the plans were made and finalized and off we went..

( May 8th)Well this morning I had planned on getting up early and trying to see a dolphin but decided to go ahead and sleep in and was very happy that I did.. Cause before I knew it.. It was time to head to head to the ship.. I was so excited.... My eyes welled up as I could see the Wonder from over the bridge..

It is an AMAZING sight and to know that I am going to be spending 3 days on it was just a wonderful feeling... Once we were able to get to the drop off location and get our checked lugage taken care of then it was time to get checked in.. As soon as we walked in there was Minnie...

I was so excited... So we got a couple of photos and went to check in.. It was really quick and easy and we were on our way.. After some photos of the terminal and some quick calls home it was time to enter those famous ears to head to the ship.

After the embarkation photo we went across the plank and they announced out names.

Then we headed upstairs to find some food... Well we weren't able to figure out where the Beach Blanket was so we had Pizza at the Pizzaria. But later I did find the BBB...

About that time we were able to head to our room.. We had a verandah room.. And it was HUGE and amazing.. It was a handicape rom wheelchair accessible.. The verandah was 1/2 of the back of the boat..

Well after we got settled I was off to explore the ship.. Then I went to the Disboard Meeting at 3pm and meet some of the people that I had been talking to for atleast an hour and before I knew it, time for the saftly drill.. That was fun Me in a cute orange life jacket...

YEAH.. Anywho, After that we headed up to the Sail Away Party ..

It was awsome..This was where I was able to get my first drink.. A Pina Colada.. MMMMMMM Then it was time to enjoy some time on the balcony as we started to set sail.. It was neat to see the coast in a different way..

Then it was off to get ready to Palo's..

I was do looking forward to this and it was awsome.. We were runing just a little late but they had no problem getting us a seat ... I can't remember our server's name just that he was from Italy..For a starter we had an Mushroom brickstyle pizza. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm then for an entree I had Beef Tenderloin..

. I don't really like Beef but it was cooked perfectly...My friend had Lobster Ravioli..

It looked really good and she really liked it.. For dessert we both had the Chocolate suffle..

. I can tell you that I never had anything like this before.. It was just amazing.. So lite.. After dinner . I headed back to the room and then I decided to head to the show..On the way I ran into someone..

Then onto the theater,tonight the show was the Golden Mickeys...

It was so cute... I loved it... After the show I spent some time looking around in the shops and then I headed to the Route 66 but along the way I noticed that there was a line downstairs and there was a couple of people that I think you guys will know..

..

I then went into Waveband to watch the Marrige Game..

It was VERY funny.. Then I headed back to try to get some sleep..But I needed some room Serivce first..

( May 9th) Well just to let ya know.. Mickey is a early riser.. He called with my wake up call about 630am.. but I was up and ready to go.. Today we headed to Nassau and this is the first time that I was able to really explore it..I also had a City Tour and was excited to see some of the historical sites that the city had to offer. After geting up and ready we headed to breakfast at the beach blanket Buffet and was able to eat outside in the warming and bright sun.. I was able to get mickey waffles..

mmmmmmmmmm.. Well after breakfast my friend headed back to the room and I headed out to watch us come into port..

I was finally able to see the lighthouse...

And the new additions to the Atlantis resort.. Well after we docked I headed to the meeting point for my tour.. While I was waiting I meet a great family from Maryland and before I knew it, time to head off.. After walking for what seemed like forever, we finally found our taxi and off we went..

Our first stop was the Water Tower/Fort Fincastle and the Queen's Staircase. The Water Tower

is the highest point on the island and can be seen from every point. Fort Fincastle

was one of two forts on the island and the Queens Staircase

was hand chizled by slaves as an emergeny escape route from the fort.Then it was time to go to Fort Charlotte.

It is the other fort on the island. The tour then headed to some of the Goverment buildings as well as the Cable Beach area

before heading back to the ship..We headed to Tritan's for lunch... For starter I had the chips..

and then a bacon Cheeseburger for my entree

It was really good. then it was desert.. I had Key Lime pie..

and my friend had the double cocoa cake..

And then I headed back out to do some shopping.. Got some really good stuff. Once finished I headed back to get ready for dinner and the show. We had late dinning so we were always able to go to the early show. Tonight it was Toy Story. On my way tho, I noticed a couple that you might know..

Then I met someone else that you might know..

I had never met him before.. What a character.. Then it was show time.. What an amazing show..

After the show I headed off to dinner at Trirans.

This was also the first night that we were going to be meeting out table mates.. They were from NJ and were very nice.. They were doing back to backs...

. Well as soon as I looked at the menu, I knew that it was a little much for you but I was going to atleast try it.. So I had a shrimp appitizer.

and for my entree I had someting that had mashed potatoes on top and scalops in it..

It was ok.. I didn't have desert cause I knew that they would have some at the PP. After dinner it was time to get ready for the Pirate Party.It was wonderful and the fireworks were amazing.. They had a dessert buffet afterwards that was to die for.. Afterwards I headed off to do some shopping and then headed to Waveband for Karoke and then bed to dream about paradise ..

(May 10th)

I had set to have mickey wake us up at 6am cause we were docking at 8am but it rang and I stayed in bed.. I finally got up about 730 as we were getting starting into the island.. It was really nice outside and I was happy that we were going to be able to dock.. I went out onto the balcony and was able to get a great view of the post office

and the family beach as well as the Flying Dutchman was right outside and we had a wonderful view..

After getting dress I headed down to Parot Cay for breakfast.. It was great.. I had some fruit and a couple of eggs.. Then I headed into paradise.. I headed right to the post office and there was Donald..

After mailing a post card and getting a couple of photos I headed towards the beach.. As I was doing so I came accross Jack Sparrow and was able to get a photo..And saw a couple more characters on the way.

I then walked by the family beach and to the bike rental area.. I hadn't riden a bike in about 15 years and WOW.. I road the trails and then headed back..

Some wildlife I saw along the bike trail.

I then took the tram to Serenity Bay..

Talk about amazing.. The beach is like powder. I was able to find a lounger under a nice shaded umberella.. ( I had gotten fried the day before) And that is where I stayed for the next couple of hours before I headed out to find some lunch of BBQ Ribs,and Chicken

and then went right back and stayed in my lounger until about 330..

By then I was even more sunburnt even with sunscrean and being in the shade 98% of the day..So I headed back to the ship.. I did some shopping along the way. As well as look at some other fun stuff to have done on the island

 

[MODisneyfan]

I then headed to the cabin where I discovered that I was now a lobster.. So to make me feel better I sat in the shade of the verandah and ate this..

.After I was finished got ready and headed to the show.. Tonight itwas Disney Dream.. I wasn't able to take any photos cause I was out of memory on my card plus my batteries were about gone.. Anywho,, It was great.. And afterwards I went to get my photo taken with Minne

and Mickey

all dressed up in their formal attire. After that I headed to Dinner at....

I had been waiting for Months for this one.

.

And it was everything that I expected it would be..This was the first night that I ate everything at dinner.. To start off I had the Mushroom rosito..

It was soooooooooo good. Then I had a C Salad and then had the stuffed chicken.. It was AMAZING..

.. Then it was time for desert.. I was just unable to decide so.. I had both.. Strawberry Shortcake..

and the Peanut Butter Pie.

After dinner I did a little last minuet shopping and went to shutter to get photos before heading back to the room to get my bags ready. Then it was off to bed early ... I really needed my sleep at this point..

( May 11) We had mickey give us a call at 6am cause we were to have breakfast at AP at 7:45am.. When I got up , I headed right out to the balcony to see that we were in port and knew that there were going to be tears soon and there were.. I couldn't believe that it was over.. We headed to breakfast and said goodbye to our tablemates.. We then headed off the ship.. It was the easiest thing ever.. With in about 30 mins we were waiting or my friends mom to pick us up.. It was so fast and easy..

Hope these help, I will tell you that it is a peekaboo verandah so if you are standing and looking out over the verandah people can see you from above but I layed out in the loungers for awhile and it was nice and no one can see you..
