After John Carter, we went back to our cabin to dress for dinner and the show. My DH wanted to grab a snack before the show, so we went up to Deck 9. Apparently, someone had pooped in the Mickey pool because it was roped off, empty, and they were draining the water.
DH grabbed a burger at Pluto's Dog House. It was a typical counter service burger, but the fries were good.
We headed to the Walt Disney Theater to see Villains Tonight. I liked the humor in this show, and I was pleasantly surprised that my DH enjoyed the show as well (he's not a musical theater fan). I didn't think we were allowed to take pictures during the show, but based on other trip reports, I think that you can take pictures without a flash. This is the only picture I snapped (before the performance).
After the show, we browsed around the shops and then went to the atrium for a picture (it was dress-up night). I told my DH that I didn't care if he wore a tie, so he was content with a polo and dress pants. Some dressed up more, but some people were VERY casual at all the dinners. I am such a rule follower that I was surprised by men wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts in the main dining room. Of course, that didn't affect my vacation at all, but I was still surprised.
In both the Passporter book and on the Dis, I had read that dinner in Parrot Cay was not a favorite, but my DH and I LOVED our dinner there. The bread came first. There were some plain dinner rolls and some banana bread. My DH really liked the banana bread. It came with banana butter that was yummy.
For appetizers, DH ordered the Jamacain Marinated Chicken Tenderloins in a Sizzling Spicy Jerk Sauce with a Chunky Bleu Cheese Dressing, and I ordered the Baked Crab Dip Martinique: Jumbo Lump Crab Baked in Creamy Cheese Sauce Served with Colorful Tortilla and Plantain Chips. We both really liked our appetizers. The plantain chips that came with my dip were very good. We ate every bite of these starters!
For our second course, DH ordered the Cream of Green Asparagus with Crabmeat and Asparagus (no picture), and I had the West Indies Romaine Salad: Fresh Crisp Romaine tossed with a Creamy Romano Dressing topped with West Indies spice Dusted Croutons. DH loved the soup, and my salad was fine.
For the main course, I had the Island Spiced Grilled Rib-Eye of Beef Topped with Handmade Spiced Butter, Corn on the Cob and Doublebaked Potato. The corn and potato were okay, but the rib-eye was the best entree I had all week. It was seasoned wonderfully and cooked perfectly. Delicious!
I think my DH had the Mixed Grill: Grilled Beef Tenderloin Steak, Lamb Chop, Bacon Wrapped Sausage and Jumbo Shrimp on Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus and Grilled Tomato with a Cabernet Mushroom Sauce, but I don't have a picture. He liked his as well, but he also thought my rib-eye was exceptional.
For dessert, we ordered the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake, the Ice Cream Sundae (cookies and cream ice cream, served with a fudge brownie bar, whipped cream and chocolate sauce), and the Parrot Cay`s Sweet Temptations: A Trio of Crème Brûlée Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue Pie and Chocolate S`More Vanilla Cake. I liked this cheesecake's flavor and consistency better than any other cheesecake I had on the ship, but there was something about the flavor of the crust that I wasn't crazy about. The sundae was standard, but yummy. I don't like soft-serve ice cream (which is all-you-can-eat and self-serve on deck 9), so I was glad to get a little bit of hand-scooped ice cream.
We left this dinner full and happy! This was one of our favorite meals of the week.
The ship stayed in port at Nassau until 2AM. I think many people took advantage of this and stayed off the ship until late, but we were exhausted. We walked around outside on deck 4 for a little while, and then we returned to our room.
Because we had felt the ship moving so much the night before, we thought we would wake at 2 when the shipped pulled out, but we slept right through it!
Coming Up...
Castaway Cay!
