Side note: On our first Disney cruise the Sail-A-Wave party was overcast and misting and I was looking forward to having one out in the sunshine for once. I guess we’ll have to wait until next time for that.
Just another reason to go again. (When that's possible again... hopefully... some day...)
We couldn’t see much (and it was framed by other people’s butts)
Depending on the butts, that could be a good thing.
We ate at a table on the pool deck that was under cover and soaked in that “I can’t believe I’m on a Disney cruise” feeling.
we went back to the room to change into our swimsuits.
So... technical question. Did you bring cover-ups? Or did you feel comfortable walking through the ship in your bathing suits?
(I've never been on a cruise, so I really don't know.)
That ship is absolutely massive, it’s incredible. They have balcony rooms that face the interior of the ship. It’s nuts!
I have some cousins who went on the Oasis (4th largest ship now) and they didn't like it. They had a group... I think it was 400 people? And they never met up just because of the sheer size of the ship.
While we were chilling (or is it warming if you’re in a hot tub?)
Heating (judging from your expression!)
the ship started to pull out to sea and we were officially sailing away!
I can't imagine anything more wonderful than setting off while basking in a hot tub!
As we walked back to our stateroom we noticed that we could feel the ship moving. Like a lot.
Oh!
It didn’t bother either of us or make us sick
Well, that's good!
Do I remember his name? No. Is that okay because I wrote it in my notes? Also no.
So we sat, enjoying the show when suddenly something weird happened. The stage lights and sound went down and all the actors just walked off stage in the middle of a scene. Then they made an announcement letting us know that there were technical difficulties and the show would be back on soon.
Huh. Odd.
Has that ever happened to you on a cruise?
Lady,
nothing has ever happened to me on a cruise.
Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, Earth, The Milky Way.
I used to say that when I was a little kid. "Do you know your address if you get lost and a policeman asks you?"
I'd nod and recite the street name and number and "...Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, North America, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Universe."
Side note: I’m not competitive about anything. Except Disney trivia. I will destroy friendships when it comes to Disney trivia.
This is good info to know. If we meet, avoid the trivia challenges.
It was less of a celebration and more of a sales pitch, but there were free drinks so it was okay
We went straight from that to dinner, which was at Animator’s Palate.
I really want to try this restaurant. <sigh> Maybe someday.
One thing I like about Disney is that you share tables with others and you stay with them throughout the whole cruise. As an introvert I’m honestly shocked that I like this arrangement. Jon really loves it, because as an extrovert he is always looking to make new friends.
I'm surprised too, considering you're an introvert.
I am too and... You know how people think it's so sad when you dine alone? That's like one of my all-time favourite things!
Dinner itself was fantastic.
Looked good!
Toward the end of dinner was the special show at AP and it was so cute. And by so cute I mean I teared up at dinner in front of strangers.
Awwww...
I had the specialty dessert, which was the lemon icebox pie,
I would've chosen that too. Looks so good!
Sigh, remember when we used to be able to high five people?
He had to repeat things quite a bit but one time he was asked to repeat a question and he was like “Sometimes it’s not the accent, sometimes you just don’t know the answer.”
And no friendships were ruined. Yet.
Yet?!?!?
