Day 4 on the Disney Dream
So I TOTALLY forgot to mention a VERY important thing that happened on the night of DAY 3. That night after the show the kids wanted to go to kids club, we enjoyed a drink and some free time with Diane and Bryan. When we picked up the kids Luke and Lauren were on cloud nine because THEY FOUND THE WAND!!!!!!!!!!! They were so excited and Lauren LOVED her new wand, WOO HOO!
So .the morning of Day 4 was Nassau day, we were still undecided about if we were getting off the ship or not, I was leaning towards not, because Ive been to Nassau before and am not a fan Tim had never been there before. Our first order of business was to go to the Princess meet and greet in the lobby at 9 a.m. so Lauren and I headed up there at 8:45 to be one of the first in line. The princesses arrived and we were so excited to see how many were there:
Snow White was up first As you can see Lauren brought her wand to show the princesses, she told each of them her brother had made it for her and there was cute interaction with all of them about the wand, they loved it:
Then Belle:
Princess Aurora was next:
Then Tiana, who REALLY liked the wand:
The beautiful Ariel:
And last but certainly not least, Cinderella:
We saw all of them quickly in less than 10 minutes, LOVE Disney Cruise line and the character meet n greets. Tim and Luke met us in the lobby and we went in for breakfast at the Royal Palace. It was a nice change from the buffet breakfasts we had, in here you ordered off the menu and they had a nice selection. We really enjoyed our breakfast.
Lauren with her fruit boat appetizer:
We still were deciding on if we were getting off the boat or not. Lauren REALLY wanted her hair braided and we saw ladies pool side doing the braiding and it was VERY affordable, only $2.00 a brad. So I had told Lauren I wanted her to do this before we got off of the ship (I didnt want her harassed by the locals to get her hair braided). We went over and they said we could make an appointment which was an hour later. In the meantime we took the kids up to Goofys sports deck to play a round of mini golf:
It was a beautiful day and Nassau sure looked amazing from the ship:
Tim with Atlantis in the background:
At this point Tim said I know you were here as a kid Lesley, but things may have changed, it really looks pretty. So we decided wed get off and see if my childhood memories of Nassau were true or not. By this time it was time for Laurens hair appointment and Luke was DYING to meet Jimminy Cricket in the lobby so Tim and Luke headed down there and Lauren and I got her hair braided (I didnt take pics of the process but youll see how lovely her hair turned out later, got the whole thing braided PLUS tip for only $18.00!!!)
Luke with his pal:
My handsome boy in the lobby:
The kids decided they wanted to go to kids club and do some of the fun activities they had planned in there for the day. Tim and I decided this was perfect because we could leave them in there safe and sound and we could head into Nassau for a few hours to shop, so thats what we did. We shopped around for less than an hour and let me tell you, Nassau was JUST as I remembered it. A lot of overly aggressive cabbies and vendors begging to braid your hair, rent a scooter and take a cab. The prices we found werent that great and we headed back to the ship thankful we hadnt taken the kids off. We decided to head back on board and enjoy the beautiful DREAM. We checked in on the kids and they didnt want to get out, O.K! Tim and I enjoyed some time alone together, which was sooooooooooo nice : ) : )
Then we headed up pool side and enjoyed the adults only pool. Diane and Bryan met us up there and then we ran into Jennifer (a Diser Happydog) and her husband. I enjoyed a wonderful drink of the day on the beautiful deck, that adult area is so nice! Then the ladies decided we wanted to tackle the aqua duck as there was barely a line. As I got up thank GOD Jennifer was being observant because I had left my wavephone on my chair, YIKES! She saved the day on that one. The three of us headed over to the aquaduck and got on quickly. It was nice talking to and getting to know Jennifer, very nice lady (hi Jennifer!) Diane and I rode together, it was a great ride as always, fun experiencing it with my friend. Tim was able to pick the kids up from the kids club and we met back up at the room. The kids had an amazing time doing science experiments (mentos and coke= big explosion, cooking class, etc.) such fun!
Here was our view from our virtual porthole that day:
It was the Carnival Sensation parked next door. That ship looked SO nasty, it was old, outdated, teenie and DIRTY! It was the joke all day among the people on the Dream. Not to sound snobby, but it really was, the entire tail fin was BLACK and disgusting. It just looked so sad next to the amazing DREAM.
It was pirate night and we were ALL so excited. The kids got all dressed and they were instantly in pirate mode : )
Luke wanted to meet Jack Sparrow who was in the D lounge, so on our way up there we saw Mickey and Minnie in their pirate gear with NO line so we couldnt pass that up:
We made our way up to the D lounge. There was a small line for Jack, and he suddenly appeared at the back of the line, stood there in line and kept saying what are we waiting for? it was cute and the kids thought it was so funny. When we got up there Jack was funny with Luke, asking if he was an imposter ! : ) Jack with the kids (doesnt he look like Will Farrel to you!)
