Thanks for the well wishes.
I have to add that all the pics from here on out will be from my facebook albums, and therefore a little smaller. Something about photobucket and bandwidth, but anyway just wanted you to know why the pics seemed to shrink for this part. lol
Ok, where were we? Ah yes, day 3 of the cruise -
Castaway Cay
With the winds being as bad as they were we were REAL concerned we would not be able to dock, but luckily it wasn't an issue.
We woke up and were getting ready for breakfast and we had the channel on the tv where it shows the view from the bridge. We watched as the ship pulled up to castaway cay and the island got larger and larger. Suddenly the picture started turning and the island disappeared. We realized the ship was turning to back in.
I was dressed and ready, as was Becca, and Mary and Mikey were still getting ready. I looked at becca and said "Ohh, Deck 7 aft!!!".
I called Tom's room real quick, and said "Deck 7, aft, now, ship is docking" lol, and he scrambled out with Becca and I and the 3 of us were off to Deck 7 aft, the "secret deck" lol
I got to tell you, this is one thing that we didn't see posted on the dis. Well, they post about the deck, but I didn't read about going out there to see the ship dock at CC.
So, consider yourself informed. Do It! It's very cool, there was NO ONE out there when we first went out, and maybe 3 people came out the whole time we were out there,
So, once out on deck 7 aft, I took a pic of...well, a life preserver.
And the some pics of the ship docking at CC:
Becca and I, as you can see it was still pretty windy on deck.
More Docking pics:
Construction continues on the new dock for the dream and fantasy:
After watching the ship pull in, we headed back to the rooms, rounded everyone up, and then went up to the buffet for some breakfast.
At the breakfast buffet we had a table right next to the side of it. When I was the last to return to the table with my omelette i was greeted with "where did you see those?".
Everyone else in the group missed the omelette station. It isnt part of the main buffet line (which runs along the sides of the kitchen), it's across the back side of the kitchen and they all missed it. Obviously it's pretty easy to find and/or stumble on, but apparently if you haven't been before, it's also easy to miss.
After breakfast it was time to head on out and see what this Castaway Cay place is really like...
