Day at Sea
There was an afternoon matinee for the production of "Disney Dreams" at the Walt Disney Theatere, so we decided to enjoy the show after our enjoyable brunch.
The Walt Disney Theatre is beautiful and we enjoyed every production! I think I was most looking forward to all the shows and I was not disappointed. "Disney Dreams" is my favorite! There were so many cute touches and almost every popular Disney movie is a part of the show. It actually snows in the theatre! It's just Disney Magic at its best!
I won't give too much away!
This was our final day of the cruise and that was just too sad to think about! We decided to really enjoy our day at sea! We had an appointment at the Vista Spa in a little over a hour, so we decided to lay out by the pool to soak up some sun.
I really enjoyed the Family Pool because of the jumbo movie screen. They were showing "Finding Nemo," so we grabbed some grapes and strawberries and enjoyed the show. I just loved watching "Finding Nemo" and "The Little Mermaid" on the ship! They were the perfect films to get you in the right mood for a
Disney Cruise!
It was time for our appointment at the Vista Spa and I had booked the Exotic Rasul. I had heard many interesting things about it, so I decided I'd need to give it a try for myself.
We checked into the Vista Spa and were each given some paperwork to fill out. It made me feel like I was at a doctor's office and I thought some of the questions were a little weird and personal for a visit to a spa on a cruise ship. Especially, if you are me and are very uncomfortable in any place that reminds you at all of a doctor's office!
I didn't really see the point of it, especially for what we had booked at the spa.
DH & I were called back and each given a key to a locker. We were told we could each go to the locker rooms to change and get ready. There was a bathrobe and sandals waiting for us in each of our lockers.
I walked back out to meet back up with DH & our spa person, so we could find out what was next. DH's sandals were much to small for his feet and we weren't too crazy about the bathrobes either because they were made of a very thin, see-through material.
Anyway, we were taken back to the room for the Exotic Rasul. It was all tile and there was a small room with a bench area and a shower area. Then, there was a glass door, where the steam room was with sinks and sitting areas. We were shown the different products and what they were used for, etc. There were also two plastic cups of cold water and plenty of towels there for our use.
We were left alone and we decided to check out the steam room area. The entire area quickly filled with steam and we could barely breathe. We also couldn't really even see in the room, but we did manage to see the small slab of mud waiting for us near the sinks.
It was ridiculously hot in there and then there was water on the floor from the showers that was literally like standing in a pot of boiling water. I was jumping around and had to leave the room because my feet were getting burnt.
I could not enjoy myself at all and was quickly feeling sick from the extreme heat and not being able to breathe. It did no good to leave the steam room because the outside area of our private room was filled with just as much steam. I was completely covered in sweat and my hair was frizzed everywhere. I didn't realize the spa treatment meant for us to pretty much completely shower and I didn't have to do all of that with other plans scheduled on board soon after our spa treatment.
Well, we were not too pleased with the Exotic Rasul experience at all and especially for the price we paid. We ended up having to leave about 20 minutes early because we were so miserable inside our room. We went back to the locker rooms to grab our belongings and I had to rush back to our stateroom to change, freshen-up, do my hair, make-up...the works. It wasn't what I felt like doing our last afternoon on the ship.
This was my only complaint and disappointment on our cruise, so that's not too bad.
I just know next time I will skip going to the spa and save the money to spend it somewhere worthwhile on the ship or at
Castaway Cay!
My dad collects all kinds of Disney crystal...I'm so jealous he came home one year with a sorcerer's hat! Here's a pic...sorry its so big...
