We're on to part 3 of the cruise trip report.
Part 1, which covers the Disney World portion of the trip, can be found by clicking HERE.
Part 2, which can be found HERE, brought you with us as our cruise got underway.
Now, it's time to keep sailing ahead!
*~*~*~*~*~*
It was time for dinner, and our first meal was in the Enchanted Garden. The ceiling in the room fades from daylight to sunset, and the flower light fixtures "bloom" and open as the meal progresses. It's very pretty!
After dinner, it was time for more pictures and posing!
This is the shopping area on board. There were 4 or 5 stores.
This is the entrance to the theater where the stage shows are held. I love this picture of Walt.
Before the show, we snuck out to the promenade deck to get some pictures of sunset.
After the show, which was great, we returned to our room to find the first of many towel animals our stateroom host, Armando from Honduras, left for us (in addition to turning down our beds). Hannah liked finding these each night.
Hannah loved her bed, which pulled down from the ceiling. You can see the stars above it, which formed Disney constellations like Tinkerbell and Peter Pan.
We woke up on Sunday to blue skies and calm waters!
Had to get a personal account of the cruise thus far!
We had a DVC member event where they gave free drinks. This is a sparkling cider, NOT champagne!
After the DVC event, we started playing a game on the ship called the Midship Detective Agency. Basically, you get a playing card when you sign up, and you use a map provided to travel all over the ship to find pictures like these. When you stand in front of the picture and hold up your "detective badge," the picture comes to life. You then look for clues on the picture to help you find the bad guy (a Disney villain, of course). There are three versions of the game, but we only played one. Still, Hannah loved this game, and it's a great way to explore the huge ship.
After a few rounds of the Midship Detective Agency, it was time for Hannah's makeover. We returned to the room for her to change into her Belle dress before heading to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
Hannah loves getting her makeovers!
Her fairy-godmother-in-training, Sophie from the UK, was great with her (and would have made a fantastic Tinkerbell).
We were fortunate enough to have her makeover right before a Princess meet-and-greet. She got to meet all of the princesses while dressed up, and this saved us chasing them down the rest of the week. Here, she's heading down the stairs to the main floor of the lobby atrium to await their arrival. (This is another favorite picture of mine.)
We took some more pictures of the ship and its contents while we waited.
The lovely atrium!
Aladdin showed up to keep the people waiting in line happy before the princesses showed up. It worked!
Finally, they arrived! First up was Ariel (The Little Mermaid).
Next up, Tiana (The Princess and the Frog), who also has "brown skin like me" according to Hannah and is thus worthy of love just for that. :)
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty).
Belle (Beauty and the Beast), who was the current princess getting a tribute in the way of Hannah's costume.
With Cinderella.
Last but not least, Snow White!
