WOW,

I love the pics from the POTC part. The whole cruise just looks like a blast. Yet you look so relaxed. Those sandy white beaches were gorgeous!

Your videos are absolutely FABULOUS !!!! When the horn went off at the sail away party---I teared up And especially the last one.....the little girls screaming every time a firework went off gave me the giggles

Now I want a DCL cruise !!!

 

[PirateKitty]

Fantastic videos! I swear I got up from my chair and was doing that little dance from the Sail Away Party video.

Great report, we have just got back from our 2week holiday to WDW, but I now want to try the cruise, so my DH & I are currently looking to book for next year

 

[princess jackie]

Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I watched them, and cried. Then I made my DD watch them and she cried. Then I made my DS watch them and he watched them over and over and over again. Now all I need to do is have DH watch them. I know I'll be able to get him on a cruise after he sees them.

I love the photos and I love the vidoes. Its just such a shame that DCL did away with the live band for the Sailaway party for the Wonder. The stage just looks too empty without it. You can tell something is missing.

Hi all!

I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! I figured I must get them online to share with my fellow DIS'ers! I just want to say thanks for all the sweet comments and I want you to know I read each one!

Now, on with the Trippe and the best part...THE FOOD!


May 16
Brunch at Palo's

I was really looking forward to going to back to Palo's after the amazing dinner we had there! We checked in and were told we would be put with the same server we had previously for dinner. We were so happy to see Jason again because he was so wonderful!

Jason showed us around the buffet offerings they had for our brunch. It was fantastic! Everything just looked perfect and it was so beautifully presented.

We were each able to choose a complimentary champagne we wanted to have with our brunch. We could have as much as we wanted from the buffet and we could also order what we wanted off the menu to be prepared. There were breakfast and lunch offerings, as well. I decided to order the blueberry pancakes and we also decided to try the fruit pizza. It was so fresh and the best breakfast I have ever had!

I was so stuffed, but there was no way I wasn't going to try the desserts! Each one was a small piece of artwork and it was all almost to pretty to eat, I did say ALMOST!

Palo's is the greatest and we were impressed with both of the meals we were able to enjoy there. The service was fantastic and the food was perfect! They were by far the most amazing dining experiences I have ever had! We were stuffed and felt almost sick beacause we ate so much, but it was so worth it!

Hey Fairy_Tale_Bride,
I hear the speaker mention High School Musical in the second video. What was he saying? It is at the very end of the video and I can't understand what he is saying. Is there some kind of High School Musical song or dance done at the sail away party now? If so, my DDs will be soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!

 

[jbmom]

I love the video! What a great addition to your trippie! All those yellowtail swimming around the boat were awesome. Of course I can't wait to read more!

 

[Tink rules]

Ok... those 8 pictures of food above are the reason I have to lose weight BEFORE I plan a cruise... that's going to be my at least 10 lb gaining treat!!!

 

[smt218]

I love your trips reports. Can't wait to read more. I want to go on a Disney cruise, and your trip reports make it look like so much fun.

 

[MB MinnieGirl]

I came on the board looking for another trip report and saw yours. SO glad I did!!! We (dd7 and I) sail in a bit over a month on our 3rd DCL cruise and CANNOT WAIT!! Our last cruise was so filled with "magical moments" at every turn for us, that I had become a bit afraid she would be let down this time. NOT the case at all....after reading your TR and watching the videos I am now more excited than ever!!!! I can't wait till DD gets home so I can show her! And the topper was to see that Bret is still on the Wonder ....oh God PLEASE let him be there in August. Can't help it...love love love him!

Thanks for taking the time to post not only the TR but the pics and videos too! So glad your cruise was special and that your birthday likely the best yet!

Hate to say this but Brent will be taking the Magic home from the Med in August. Christiaan is CD on the Wonder right now. Don't know who will be CD come August.

Too bad DCL doesn't post the CDs schedules. Seems like several of them jump back and forth between the ships.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Lindsey those videos are wonderful! I teared up at the one when you are pulling away from port and the horn is playing. I really can't wait to experience this for myself!

Those desserts at your Palo brunch look so yummy! Do you need to make a special reservation for the Palo brunch? I know you do for dinner with the extra $10, is brunch the same deal?

Everytime I see that you have a update I get so excited . You really did an amazing job documenting your vacation, and taking the time to share it with us! So thank you!!
