I never got to finish blogging about my disney cruise trip! I wanted to blog each day but its been so long I cant remember much about it, except that I need to go again! lol So here is a recap of the week.
It was a great trip, 7 nights with the mouse. There were so many activities on the ship that there was no way we were bored. Our child went from wanting to disappear daily to the kids club to wanting to stay with us to experience things together.
I do have to say be sure to see the shows daily. No matter what cruise line we have been on we have never been disappointed on a show. They always show two a night. One so that the early dining can see and the second so the late dining can see.
It always worked out and there was always enough room to sit. The 'actors' you start to recognize at the week goes along as they are preforming multiple roles. They were all interesting.
They play movies in the theaters during the day and on the large screen at the top deck by the pool. They had kid exclusive events and adult exclusive events. Let me tell you that they never go beyond PG13 on the ship.
There were many opportunities to see characters on the ship as they would come out various times and multiple times during the week.
One night out to sea there it was called Pirates on the Caribbean! Of course everyone on the ship was on the top deck to experience the event. There was dancing and music and then Mickey came out to rescue us and the FIREWORKS! Yes you heard that right, right off the ship there were fireworks. Im pretty sure they were shot off the back of the ship as they had wet the decks and closed it off to people. Amazing as it was you could see the other ships in the distance lol. No doubt wanting to see the same fun stuff.
As an adult there were a lot of adult only events and I suggest to leave the kids and just spend time doing the 'adult' stuff. We learned so much about Disney, the ship, the crew, they even explain the patterns of the carpet!
The private island was just amazing. It was huge, the water was perfect! There were fish and sting rays in the water swimming with people! The food was right there for us, buffet style - your basic BBQ items. Notes: Be sure to have footwear - the sand and walk paths can get hot. No need to carry much as there are chairs everywhere and your on an island alone with other cruise on the same ship! lol.
Ill never forget returning to the ship. They give you a time to return and we started walking an hour before the start time. As we got to the walking path these dark clouds came out of no where and just a quickly as they came it started to rain. People were running out of the water, it was funny. We had rain whipping us from all directions!
That afternoon we got back on the ship we got to see Brave in 3D - it was just released in the theater so that was a treat!
Since this cruise left from NY we had a stop in Port Canaveral! We got one day pass hopper to Disney World - it was the first time in our lives we hit all 4 parks in one day. Just riding on our favorite rides then heading to the next park lol.
Each night we ate at a different restaurant but remained with the same servers! Our favorite was the black and white room which turned into color by the end of the meal. But they were all fun. Each night was a theme and the menus matched that theme.
Disney cruise is a bit pricy but I loved it.
