Two Adults on a Disney Cruise! 4/10 MR Wonder ***FINISHED*** TRIP REPORT!!!

Day 2 - At Sea
Part 2


Our tasting was held in Cadillac Lounge and was led by Romy, who was hilarious. He was always walking around so I didn't get any good pictures of him.

Don't these guys look excited? :laughing:

The guy in the hat is Keith! LOL! That picture is great! He says "Why aren't we drinking yet??" :rotfl:
 
Thanks for posting the updates!:cool1:

Looks like you settled right in to the relaxation mode - good for you! Some people have a hard time getting there. You looked beautiful for formal night. I am going to try "stacking" the pics this time - I didn't know you could save them, either.

Sounds like you were a little under impressed with the food? We leave in 2 more sleeps!:woohoo:

The food was great, we were just really unprepared for the amount of food we would eat and it took a few days to adjust. I eat really small portions in real life. We actually overheard a number of passengers complain about how they thought the food was so bad (more on that as we go along). We totally disagreed, we thought the dining room food was very good. There were hits and misses, but overall I give the food a solid "A." You're going to have so much fun ... I'm so jealous of you! :upsidedow
 
Day 3 - At Sea
Part 1

Slept a little better this morning and missed the sunset. Still, not a bad view!

We had put out our room service tag the night before and had fruit, muffins and OJ delivered to us at 8:00. Note to future cruisers: when the room service tag reads "assorted muffins," they mean one tiny muffin. Lesson learned. :teacher:

At 9am I went to the gym for yoga class. We met inside the gym and our instructor led us up to the basketball court on Deck 10. There was loud music blaring and I couldn't hear the instructor, coupled with some pretty strong winds made for a bit of a challenging workout, but overall it felt good. It was 30 minutes of some basic yoga moves.

After yoga I met back up with DF in the cabin and we went to the pool. We grabbed some pizza and fries for lunch. After only about an hour we determined it was a bit too hot up at the pool in the direct sun, so we decided to check out the loungers on Deck 4. They are so comfy!

I was too hot in the sun but too cold in the shade, haha. I lasted about 30 minutes before I decided to roam the ship. I checked out our formal night pics at Shutters and then got my picture in Duffy. Yes, I am a grown woman taking a picture with a teddy bear.

Back to the room and more treats waiting for us!

And turns out I *did* take a picture of the new blanket!!! :cloud9:

5641863271_c3417a893a.jpg


At 2pm we went to the Buena Vista Theater to check out the Art of Imagineering presentation.


5642431240_e542340794.jpg


I'm not sure if it was the dark room or the motion of the boat but we both were having a tough time staying awake. :guilty: After about 40 minutes we decided to head back to the room for a quick nap before our spa treatment at 3:20.

I surprised DF by booking the Exotic Rasul and didn't tell him until that morning. I told him it was a private couples treatment but that's all I said. :rolleyes1 We really enjoyed the Rasul! (Sorry, no pictures :rolleyes1) When we arrived we signed the waiver promising not to sue if we faint or fall and hit our heads, and then our CM Amanda showed us to the changing rooms and showed us how to use the lockers, then left us to change into robes. She then led us to the Rasul room and showed us the proper way to do the treatment. First there is an exfoliating scrub, then you rinse, then an icy-hot type substance for any sore muscles (I wrote on the intake form about my CTS and Amanda recommended this for my arms; it felt really nice), then a bluish mud substance that smelled like peppermint. After you slather on the mud she recommended sitting in the steam room. The mud felt really nice. After sitting in the steam room for quite a while, I said "I wonder how long we have been in here?" Almost immediately Amanda knocked on the door with our 10 minute warning. :laughing: We showered off the mud and applied the final step, the moisturizing lotion. After leaving the Rasul we were given glasses of champagne and led to the Rainforest Room, and told we could stay as long as we liked. We sat in the heated loungers and drank our champagne. Overall it was a nice treatment and I'm glad we signed up.

Back in the changing area I saw DisFanInCO again and found out her and her DH had the next Rasul time! I told her it was excellent, so I hope they enjoyed it. I quickly changed, doing my best not to flash my internet friends and met up with DF in the lobby of the spa. Next we had the mojito tasting at 5pm.

At the tequila tasting, Romy said he would be hosting the mojito tasting so we signed up. Unfortunately he was not there, and the mojito tasting was very unorganized. It seemed as though everyone forgot it was happening. We waited several minutes for our drinks to be made, but once we got them they sure looked good!


5642432878_0055482003.jpg


There were several flavors, including regular, mango, and raspberry. I can't remember the others but my favorite was the raspberry. These were good size drinks and a great value for the $15 ticket, but they were just too sweet and sugary to finish. I only drank two, and part of DF's raspberry mojito. We each took a glass with us, though.

After leaving the tasting we decided to walk around Deck 9 for a bit, and found Monsters Inc playing on the Funnel Vision. We sat and watched until the end of the movie, then made our way back to the room to clean up for dinner. We had some time to kill and I realized I had never took pictures of our decorated door.

(BTW, this was before we got the Minnie ears magnet in our FE, so thank you to whomever that was!!!!)
 

Day 3 - At Sea
Part 2

On our way to dinner, we saw Christiaan and decided to stop for a picture and chat.

5642433090_5a522fd01d.jpg


I asked him if this was his first time on the MR, and he said he had been on the MR route many, many times and asked what our plans were for port. We said we had no plans for our second Cabo day and he recommended taking a boat around Los Archos and getting food at The Office. And so we did! More on that later! Thanks Christiaan!

Dinner tonight was at Tritons again, with their French menu.

5642433344_68bcdb0a01.jpg

Same pose and location as last night, only this time the girls are covered. :rotfl2:

Tektas graciously agreed to take a picture of us. Our server Nelson is in the background.

5642433504_cc5bdcc3bb.jpg


We of course had to try the escargot. It tasted fine, although it was very chewy.

5641864357_77b47e2845.jpg


DF got the French Onion soup and I got the Tomato Basil soup, but apparently forgot to take a picture. Both were very good.

5641864445_9ef1f22162.jpg


For entree I got the chicken salad (very good) and I asked Nelson if I could have just a side of the mushroom herb risotto that came with the sea bass. I told him I'm a risotto fiend. He shook his head no at first but then quickly said yes. The risotto was VERY good. DF got the tenderloin and the lobster macaroni. Both were good. I liked DF's tenderloin better than my salad so he let me have a few bites. :lovestruc

5642433866_e2b89c41ea.jpg



We made good on our promise to Nelson tonight and ordered three desserts. I had the souffle, DF had the ice cream sundae, and we shared the trio. All the desserts were very good. I really enjoyed the souffle.

5641865593_1e1e884dab.jpg


We had to rush through our desserts to go watch MULAN on Funnel Vision at 9:45. We stopped at the room to fill our glasses with rum to make rum and cokes, and then went up to Deck 9. We missed the very beginning so DF grabbed blankets and made our drinks so I could sit and watch. :love:

5642434858_28339a1a4c.jpg


It was really loud on Deck 9, with children running around. I realize it's a Disney Cruise and you're on vacation and all, but geez, isn't 10pm a little late for the kids to be hopped up on soft-serve and soda? :furious: Haha, it was still really fun and yes I cried at the end when they play Reflection over the credits like I always do. I was considering walking down the aisle to Reflection but then I realized I would have no chance of keeping it together. :sad:

After the movie we headed back to the room where we had an alligator (?) waiting for us.

5641866163_bd6e93eab2.jpg


We went out on the veranda for a while and saw another cruise ship!

5641866203_c065d94ea3.jpg


It was waaaaaaaaaaay out in the distance heading in the same direction as us.

After a nightcap on the veranda, it was time for bed. Tomorrow was our first port day - Puerto Vallarta!! (That might be a three-parter).
 
Okay, Mindy, just wanna let you know. All your posts and that yummy looking food is making me superbly jealous right about now.

I officially need to convince my bridesmaids a Disney Cruise is a MUST for my bachelorette party! In which.. all of my DIS friends are more than welcome to join! <3 <3
 
Bravo!!!

Loving the pictures and the report.

Question about the Rasul...would it be weird to do with someone who you weren't romantically involved with? A daughter, a friend?

Grrl, you know I'm in.

I would say yes. I think the idea is that you and your parter act as each other's masseuse but you could easily apply the treatments to your own body. The room is quite small so I wouldn't recommend signing up with someone you're not okay with being confined in a small space with for 50 minutes! The bench in the shower room is small but there is a separate steam room with a plexiglass door, and there are three separate small benches in there. Let me know if you have any other questions. :thumbsup2
 
Hi Mindy,


How do you book the Rasul as a couples experience? I only see it as a single's experience on the Disney Cruise website. What is it called? Maybe I'm just showing off my natural hair colour though ;)

Congrats on your DL wedding by the way, I'm sure it will be amazing Disney really does it right!

You sign up just for one person but it's really for two. So for example, I signed up under my name as if it was just for me, but in actuality it's for two people. It's a little confusing. :goodvibes But just know that if you sign up for the Exotic Rasul it's a two person deal. :thumbsup2

I've viewed your wedding report before, everything looks so nice. I love your dress with a touch of color. I'm looking for a dress with some pink in it. :lovestruc

Awesome thanks for the clarification! Check out www.alfredangelo.com and the Dream in Color collection the trims on those dresses come in 55 different colours that's where I got mine!

So is it $88 a person or is that for 2 people?
 
Loving this trip report. Hoping to cruise for the first time in 2012.:dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3:
 
Mindy, I am enjoying your trip report very much! I was sitting next to you at the Tequila tasting. My behind is in your picture! I loved the souffle so much that I requested it again later in the week when we were in AP and our server brought it! We were in 6111 so I also enjoyed your door decor when we walked that way. Ours had the Pirates dry erase board. Looking forward to your next installment.

I remember your pirate board! Are you the one who recognized DF's shirt? That was so funny. The souffle was so good and it was so sad that I would only eat a couple bites. I never thought to ask for it again.
 
I am loving your trip report! DH and I don't have any kids, so I like to read reports of adults only trips! :goodvibes I can't wait to read more!
