Sorry for the once again LONG delay
But on with the story.
After we had our photos taken all about the ship, we stopped back at our room and were greeted with a bottle of champaign. (remember, I dont drink that!) We also had a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. Now thats YUMMY! It was soon time for our dining reservation at Palo, so off we went to enjoy our special dinner.
It was actually very fun walking about the ship in my gown and people telling us congratulations! I am not one that typically likes to be noticed, but being a BRIDE was so much fun.
When we arrived at Palo we were seated at a table by the window, but on the far side of the restaurant. It was a nice table until the group at the table behind us (really I think it was two couples) but they were loud and at times obnoxious. I really dont remember what we had in the way of appetizers and such, but I had ordered the beef, MEDIUM. It came WELL DONE. I tried to eat it, but I cannot eat dried out food. Dale had it sent back and then I was given a piece that was barely medium (more medium rare, but at least not dried out). It was very good, but I was already in trouble. I ended up getting sick (which happens sometimes). Of course though, I still had to attempt to have some of the chocolate soufflé. When they broke it open to pour the sauce in, WOW the smell was awesome. Unfortunately it was way to rich for me and I did not get to enjoy as I had planned to for so long. We even had part of our wedding cake served (which I ate a bite of that, YUMMY, not sickening sweet).
We were surprised with more goodies
After dinner we stopped down at the Lifestyle portraits. Unfortunately, the photographer was just about to take a break, so we had to come back LATER! I was a bit bummed as we were there just at the end of the time slot, so we had to come back later and dont you know, the photographer was LATE coming back. But we did finally get our shot!
Unfortunately due to the change in the schedule, it was Pirate Night so we missed all the festivities in the dining room. Our friend Dawn brought back our Pirate map/menu and our bandannas from dinner. We stopped back in our room and were greeted by this cutie.
We then decided to take a walk up on deck to see what was going on before the fireworks started. We stumbled upon this buffet (which we were way too stuffed to partake of).
We couldnt get a spot close to the railing to see the festivities, but we did get to see the fireworks.
It had sprinkled off and of that afternoon and evening and we weren't sure if they were going to have the fireworks. Luckily it held off a bit and we had a great end to our very special day!
