Okay, I will warn you guys up front that this may be a tad on the boring side today. It is almost an exact repeat of yesterday and apparently I forgot about the camera hanging from my wrist because I only have 3 pictures from the entire day
! I know, I know
.it is tragic.
But here we go anyway. We had our room service delivered again about 7:15 (coffee, choc milk, donuts and fruit). It was all really good. This is actually the first time on any cruise that we have used room service, just never could find a reason to order on any other cruise. We really enjoyed the coffee in the morning and the kids enjoyed having breakfast in bed! We were out of the room by about 9am and ran down to Tritons so DH and I could have breakfast (the kids decided they could eat a little more as well). We generally order eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. One morning I had an omelet which was good. And one morning I ordered some kind of tower with French toast and pineapple. It was good, but very sweet. The kids stuck with Mickey waffles and pancakes.
After breakfast the kids were off to the kids club for Toy Story Boot Camp and we decided to go to the movies again. Today it was Prince of Persia. After the movie, we went to get the kids for lunch. We decided just to run up to the Beach Blanket Buffet on Deck 9. When we get out to the pool deck, who do we see, Captain Hook!! He is one character we have never run into before and the line was not long so we jump in. Just after we got in line, the CM said she was closing the line for Hook and starting a new one for Minnie. Of course, DD decided she really needed to say hi to Minnie so I sent DH to the back of the newly forming Minnie line (he was overjoyed).
I threw this Snow White pic in because I forgot to post it yesterday. We were walking towards the theater for Golden Mickeys and we happen upon Snow White. No line, no photographer so we ask if we can get a picture with her. Snow White is my daughters favorite (well until Rapunzel came along) so it was nice to get a pic with her.
So back to today, after getting our character pics (and exacerbating DHs Character Induced Stress) we get our lunch at BBB. I thought the buffet was pretty good. I liked that one side had kid friendly foods for my DS who is a picky eater.
After lunch, the kids went back to the club. They really wanted to swim but it was just too chilly on deck when the ship was in motion. We promised we would take them to the pools when we were in port. We went and found a quiet spot to read for just a few minutes because at 3 oclock we have a martini tasting!
The martini tasting was held in Diversions and hosted by Jesus. We had five mini-martinis to try. They were all pretty sweet and it would have been nice to have one classic martini in the bunch but it was fun. We found out later that on the last day they had another martini tasting that was held in Cadillac Lounge and hosted by Romy. Had we known beforehand we would have booked that one instead.
We had also booked the mixology class for 5 oclock so we had about an hour inbetween. We decided to go sit in on the Hypnosis seminar. DH had been reading up on hypnosis (probably for one of his books) and wanted to check it out. It was interesting, and we looked forward to his performance in the show that evening.
Now time for the mixology class. It was held in Diversions and hosted again by Jesus. We were a bit disappointed by this class. We were hoping to learn to mix some more common cocktails. Instead, Jesus had just put out a bunch of ingredients, gave a few pointers and basically told us to have at it. We could just make up our own drinks for the hour. You could definitely get your $15 worth of drinks out of it this way, but not exactly what we had in mind. We did end up having a great time and we did meet Cynthia who we had a great time with each night in the Cadillac Lounge thereafter.
After having plenty to drink at mixology we stopped in to get the kids and went directly to the show. Tonights show was the hypnotist Ricky Kalmon. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it having never witnessed anything like that before.
We then ran to get ready for dinner. Tonight dinner was in Tritons again and was the French dinner. I cant remember what we ate except for the escargot that DH and DD had and enjoyed.
After dinner, the kids wanted to go back to the club for a little while so we went to hang out at CL. This was our first encounter with Fred (the jazz pianist). We found him to be funny and quite talented and could play almost anything (think Phantom of the Opera all the way to Garth Brooks) you threw at him We really enjoyed interacting with him and Cynthia,, who we met at mixology was also there so we visited with her some more.
About 11:45 we got a text on the wave phone (those phones are extremely handy) that the kids club would be closing in 15 minutes. That was our cue so we picked up the kids and headed to bed. Another relaxing day behind us and really looking forward to the 3 port days ahead.
:
so no school during the trip!
. At this point we decided lunch was in order, we saw the Cheeky Monkey and decided to try it. DH and I each had a $1 margarita along with a shot of Don Julio Blanco tequila. The kids had a mango and strawberry smoothie. To eat we had chips and salsa, taco plate, cheese nachos, taco pizza, and meat lovers nachos. Everything was quite delicious and it all cost about 650 pesos.
. We enjoyed our shopping but we were tired so we found a cab and thanks to DH being fluent in Spanish we were able to communicate where we wanted to go. The ride back was $10 for all of us. We got back to the ship about 2:30 and there was a line to get back on the ship. Took about 10-15 minutes to get back on the ship. Not too bad.
