Castaway Cay is SOOOO beautiful. There is not much I love more than a Caribbean beach. The sand. The water.
I love all of your pictures.
Thank you! It was really pretty in Castaway Cay, despite the wind.
Too bad about the wind and cold water. Lunch looked like a great consolation, though!
Yup, when there's nothing to do, you eat! Or at least that is my motto...LOL
Your afternoon back at the ship, taking pictures during your "run" around the ship, then spending time at the Rainforest room was a great way to spend some time before the show and dinner.
Totally! I liked how we all did our own thing and then regrouped again later. That's the fun thing about cruises I realize.
Love reading your trip reports! Thank you
Thank you for reading!!
Bittersweet last night...
Once again, all of the food at the dining room sounds and looks really good. The tuna and salad are both light and fresh. I would have trouble choosing between the beef Wellington and the shrimp. Good thing Mark usually agrees to splitting meals. I know you can get both if you want, but SO MUCH FOOD!
It was so nice to be able to get all this unlimited table service! We did try to control ourselves but we definitely got seconds of our favorites if we wanted to.
Is there a more perfect way to end the night and the cruise than character palooza?!? There are some really fun shots!
Totally fun night! Definitely worth being in the Atrium at that moment, even though it was crowded. But I'm not sure why, but I think it was less crowded than the Magic's last year. No clue why since this was a bigger ship and more people...maybe it just felt that way because the Atrium is bigger.
I am so glad you mentioned about them showing scenes from the past week on the cruise. We have a couple of videos from cruises we took in 2006 and 2007 that we haven't watched in forever! The 2006 cruise was a family reunion cruise- Auntie Jeanne treated 42 members of our family to a Royal Caribbean Western itinerary.
Yup! They showed pictures from the cruise including some pics from SWDAS. I didn't make it up there though, LOL.
Happy Birthday from all of us, even though your family couldn't quite make it until midnight.
Thank you!! I know right...well technically they had been celebrating with me all week, so my actual birthday is really an afterthought. LOL
Never mind the sad little burrito. How about the names of the goodbye breakfast dishes?
"I'll have the -Get the hell off the ship, we're done with you now- over easy!"
Haha, yeah I liked their creative names for the dishes!
GREAT report! You guys really had so much fun and got into all of the fun activities. And so glad the fun ain't quite over yet. I'll finish up here then heading over to the WDW part of your trip.
We sure did! we took advantage of everything the ship had to offer but I still feel like we could have done more. I can't imagine going on the Dream cruises for 3-4 days. I'd probably not be able to do anything!
Oh, wow! Your sisters pictures are great, and I agree her collages are super-cute!
She certainly made the most of her selfie stick(s)!
Thanks! Well, she did go through 3 selfie sticks...so she has a ton of selfies. I only showed a small portion here.
It was fun going back to see some of the earlier parts of your cruise again.[/QUOTE]
Haha, yeah it was great to see the pictures that CS took! I forgot that we took some of those!
Haha, I did both. But it did wipe us out. I think the problem was only having a 4 night cruise. 7 nights would be much more refreshing.
I can see that. On a 3-4 night I'd be obsessed with doing everything on the ship that I'd forget to relax! At least the 7 night gave us a little down time.
Love how you are both in the picture.
thanks! It wasn't quite how I pictured it to come out but didn't realize he was taking the pic in front of the mirror. I just wanted him to take a picture of me wearing my Star Wars tank top. Haha.
That's great - love the childlike enthusiasm!
I think the kids clubs were made for ME, really!
Aw, so cute!
Really cute when Pluto does that!
The look in his eyes!
that no good pirate! LOL
Thanks for sharing all of the photos and allowing me to re-live your cruise again. I am chomping at the bit to write about ours. We were on it almost exactly a year ago and I am to the day prior to it in my TR now.
Gotta move that thing along!
I was wondering when you'd be writing about your cruise! It will be interesting to read your experiences on the 4 night cruise!
It's funny, last year at this time, we were at WDW. I keep seeing those memory posts on facebook. Really brings me back to Star Wars Weekends last year!
