So glad you are enjoying them. You know what's funny is Luke (whose a huge foodie : ) saw my picture and he had the same dish and said "Mom, how could you forget, it's the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi dish!" So yes, I see that now ; ) It was SO yummy!! Yes, pirate night was such fun!!Love the updates! Oh my goodness, I had that same fish dish on pirate night and it was my favorite meal the whole cruise (they were all delicious though). It was the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, drool...... We've been there, done that with Nassau in the past and opted to stay on the ship. We just loved pirate night too, such a unique Disney experience.Looking forward to more.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one seeing Will Ferrell in Jack! : ) Yes, loved her braids. It's funny you ask, I only noticed one, Tianna was also in the pirate show and Lauren noticed and said "do you think that's Tianna's sister?"wow, Jack Sparrow really did look like Will Ferrell!! (but perhaps a younger, more attractive Will Ferrell) And Luke looked great as Jack Sparrow!
Lauren too, what a cute dress & hair bow! The braids turned out really cute. It was also very age appropriate the way they did them.
Loved all the pirate night fun!!! That looked amazing!
So I have to ask.... (adult question only)....being on a cruise ship and all, did you see any of the same faces during the character meet n greets, if you know what I mean?

It was such fun! Prices for 2013 come out in Oct, let me know if you want on my list of people to email when they come out, we are going to book then because we saved so much by doing so when we booked super early.Wow!! Pirates Night looks like a LOT of fun!!! Every time I read your TR I go and look at prices for next year. LOL. The kids costumes were FANTASTIC! Seriously, your TR just makes me speechless. Your pictures are the best pictures of the ship that i have ever seen and your words just make me feel as thought I was there with you.
The fireworks at sea really were amazing. Thanks for your kind comments!Pirate's night looks like a lot of fun! Your kids are so cute in their pirate gear.
Fireworks at sea must be so amazing.
I love Lauren's hair! So cute!
Thanks so much! It was a fun day/night!Pirates night looked like such fun
Lauren's hair came out great
Luke looked awesome
Can't wait for more![]()
Hi, glad you found us again! It truly was amazing!Hey Lesley,
I'm subbing. So glad to see you doing another tr, I always love reading about your trips. The Disney Dream looks amazing. can't wait to hear more about it and the rest of your disney vacation.
So glad you are enjoying it. Not back to work yet but went in to set up my classroom today, first day back for me is the 19th but I have meetings two days next week, BUMMER! Congrats to you! I haven't regretted it one bit and just love being a Disney TA, it's been so much fun selling what I love and helping people plan amazing vacations with my help, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Yes, you can do an excursion to Atlantis but it's actually cheaper to get a room for the night and have access to the room and entire resort while in Nassau but for me, the ship was just as wonderful! So glad you are enjoying the TR, thanks for reading/posting.Hi Lesley! Enjoying another timandlesley trip report! Have you started back to school (work?) yet!? I go back TUESDAY. We had a short summer, our calendar changed this year so it made our summer super short but we get out May 15 so we are headed to Kidani at the end of May 2012! Excited about that! A lot of pressure because we are bringing my bro's family (newbies) with us!!
I also joined an agency and am now a Disney Travel Specialist!! I really have to tell you that you, among some of my other "Disney friends" (we call each other CIF's=creepy internet friends, haha!! and have yearly, this year two!! Disney meets together!!!) really inspired me to go for it! I just kept sitting around thinking about what I "should" do instead of just DOING it!! (So I did it and just earned my ears this weekend!!) I really thought of you and all your teaching and kids and husband and blog and being a TA and thought, "WHY NOT!?!?!" Ya know!?!
I love your TR because it has helped me gain knowledge if I ever need it to help people book cruises. I have yet to experience one myself but maybe one of these days! Not only that, it looks SUPER fun!!! The kids and their pirate garb=adorable!!! Your descriptions are captivating and seemingly so effortless (although I know it takes a lot of work to write TR's!) and so very informative!
I noticed that Atlantis was right behind you guys. Is it true that you can go to Atlantis for the day if you are there?? I think I read that somewhere but not sure!!
My husband has also been to Nassau and said the same thing you did...that I am not really missing much except what you described!!
Anyway...I know you are probably very busy with everything going on so thanks for doing the report and updating it so regularly!! I really do look forward to your updates! I always learn so many new things when reading about your adventures!
You know, I wish we would have discovered it earlier. I would say as SOON as you are comfortable leaving your child with others because the kids will love it and have a great time no matter what the age and you will have an incredible time while they are in kids club too and build incredible family memories when you are together!Wow- what a wonderful adventure! I can't wait to read more! What is the youngest age you would suggest for kiddos on the cruise?
Hi Darlene, yes we were all SO glad the wand was found! Tim and I did not dress up but a lot of adults had full pirate gear on, going after Halloween would be ideal : )Great Update Lesley!
I am so glad Lauren found her wand!
The kids look great in their pirate outfits!Did you and Tim dress up? Do most people dress up? I really want to ( I love all of that stuff...I think it's so fun) but honestly have no idea what I would wear. Thankfully Halloween is before our cruise so I will be keeping a look out for something.

HI! Thanks for reading/possting, glad you are enjoying it, small world that we were on the same cruise ; )Hi!
I have just caught up with all of your TR - Ronmel sent me the link, as we were on the same cruise!
It is fun to see your photos and remember that wonderful ship
Looking forward to more,
Emmax
Hi, I knew about pirate night based on posts here on the Dis and through friends who had cruised. The fireworks at sea are amazing. It is an "o.k." place, there are a lot of shops and vendors everywhere, it is relatively clean on the main streets, I wouldn't venture too far off the path and if you are going to do an excursion do one through Disney.I love all of the character meet and greets that they have! That must had a nice touch of Disney. I always wondered if the cruises felt like they were Disney or if they did not have a lot of Disney apart of them. It seems to me that they are very Disney.
The pirate outfits look great! How did you find out in advance that there was going to be a pirate night? Do they send you this stuff in a itinarary type thing
Im sure the fireworks at sea were amazing! I didn't know that they did that! I didnt know that they could do that
Besides all of the pushy people how was Nassau? Is it a beautiful place? Is it clean? Are the pushy people the only problem?
I never realized that Atlantis was near Nassau. I always thought that Atlantis was on it's own island, boy was I wrong
Im reading that other TR too for the couple that took the same cruise as you. That's funny that you both are doing TRs for the same cruise and that there are a few people reading both! Its a small Disworld.
There were a lot of beautiful beaches like paradise island, etc. that you can get to.
So sorry you are back already! Glad you are enjoying the report. I was so glad Lukes outfit still fit!Great updates (had to catch up b/c we went back to work this week)! Loving Luke's pirate outfit! So awesome!
It really was such a fun day! Yes, CC again!!!Ohhhhh what a perfect perfect day! Love the braids and pirate costumes! How awesome that you could see the Cars 2 premiere on board...wow!I can't believe all of the characters you met in one day too! Awesome! So now you headed out of Nassau for CC again right?
You are quite welcome, thanks for the thank you : )Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!!!
So glad you are enjoying it, it's easy to sell people on Disney cruises, they are worth every penny!AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!!
Disney Magic=THE DREAM!!
I truly hope I can experience this one day!
I think you have many people "sold" on
the disney cruise, Lesley!!!![]()
Too funny! Yes, it really was a lot of fun!I'm following another TR from a couple who honeymooned at Disney World and on the Dream and I'm pretty sure they were on the boat at the same time as you. Talk about coincidence!
Pirates night looks like a lot of fun.
Yes, it was anothe rperfect day. Staying on the boat will be what we do next time FOR SURE! Thanks for your compliments on the outfits : )Sounds like another perfect day!!
We didn't get off the boat in Nassau, either. We stayed on, had some beverages & relaxed.
The kids look so cute on Pirate Night!! What great outfits!!
Have such a GREAT TIME!!!Wow! What a great day! Reading this is making me more excited about our cruise! I can't wait to experience all of this.
