Friday 28th January 2011 A Dreamy Day at Sea!
Well once again I was awake before 6am! We lazed in bed for a while then got up and went up to the Cove Café, we got two Hot Chocolates and found the perfect spot to sit and drink them. We snuggled up on the round bed and watched the sunrise, it was bliss and we could have stayed there all day.
Inside Cove Café:
We thought wed better move before we fell asleep in the big round comfy lounger so we went for a walk the upper decks and I popped into Senses Spa to see if their was any chance of getting a manicure booked in today, there was availability at 11am.
We decided on a game of Mini Golf and for once I BEAT LEE!!!!!
I took great delight in teasing him all day, what with him being the golfer!
Afterwards we went to Cabanas for some breakfast, we had the usual Sausages, Bacon, Omelette, Hash Browns and an English Muffin.
We popped down to Deck 4 to Shutters to view our photos, wed had some taken at the tables during meals and a few in the Atrium before dinner both nights. Shutters is so much better on the Dream, you scan your Key to the World card on a screen and it tells you which bookcase your photos are in, which colour album and what number. For example: Minnie, Blue, 12. Then when you locate your album on the shelf all your photos are together in one place.
Some of the photos we bought (I took photos of the photos to show you so they arent great quality):
It was almost time for my manicure so I went up to the Spa and Lee headed off back to the room. I had a Shellac manicure, which I hadnt heard of before but it is basically applied the same as gels and cured under a UV lamp but much more natural looking as it is just like normal nail varnish rather than thick like gels. I chose a bright pink colour, it cost $45. I was very impressed with the results, it lasted for over 3 weeks without peeling or chipping. Whilst I was in the Spa we got a glimpse of
Castaway Cay in the distance from the window, then the ship turned and it went out of sight. Just as they finished doing my nails and I was paying we heard the ships horn play When you wish upon a star I dashed out onto Deck and it was crowded with hundreds of people but there right in front of me was Castaway Cay and the Magic! With that the Magic played When you wish upon a star and we replied Makes no difference who you are and that was me all weepy eyed!
Everyone on the Dream and the Magic/Castaway Cay were cheering. The Magic kept playing When you wish upon a star and each time the Dream would respond with a different tune:
Makes no difference who you are
Hey Diddly Dee an actors life for me
Be Our Guest, Be Our Guest, Put our service to the test
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates life for me
Its a Small World After all
I was by the stairs up to Deck 13 so I went up and spotted Lee right at the front taking photos and filming the horn battle. I joined him and we stood looking the Magic for a while, eventually as we sailed away we waved and said see you in September!
Shortly after an announcement came over the tannoy that Donald would be officially Christening the AquaDuck, so we found a good spot so we could take some photos and waited. Firstly a cast member out holding two bottles of water, one was from Typhoon Lagoon and the other from Blizzard Beach and they poured them into the running water on the AquaDuck. Daisy came out to watch her man
then Donald appeared and headed up the stairs for the official christening
..it was so funny to watch, especially when he got out at the end, he was very water logged and shuffled off with his tail feathers between his legs!
