Disney Cruise - at sea


 I have to say, getting onto the ship and getting settled was pretty frustrating.  For some reason, my QR codes didn't get emailed to me, and the whole check-in process, from one cast member to the next (we went through several through checking in) consisted of having to explain and look it up other ways.  We brought our luggage along, and before we could drop it to the stateroom, had to lug it around to see where our emergency meeting/ life boat location was.  Then, our phones' wifi wasn't working... needless to say, next time, I'd check my luggage over to them.

That first night, we ate at Animator's Palate.  We had fanstastic servers. We were second seating, so dinner was at 8:15 pm.  That got late as the week wore on!


The next morning, the kids went to kid care for a bit.  I walked around a little and enjoyed the view for a bit.

 

Guest Services was amazing. I noticed on the app a character meet and greet that was full.  They made a note the previous evening, and by morning, they said we were scheduled to see the characters.





Up on the 9th deck, lunch was always available.  The boys especially loved the pizza.  We got the pineapple ice cream a few times.  The pool had a slide and a big screen tv that played Disney movies.

 




We saw some flying fish.  Landon even saw 2 dolphins.


The pumpkin tree in the lobby.


I believe this night we saw Jon Armstrong, the magician.  He was good and funny! 
The second night for eating, we ate at Tiana's.  We even joined the parade and danced around with the servers and other people.


Our server, Dhonny from Indonesia, was so fun and cheerful! He was great with the kids.  He even got came to eat some vegetables :-) He gave us challenges with crayons and papers.  For example, he drew 3 circles.  He then said we can only add one straight line and one curved line to make an animal that has four legs and a tail. We couldn't figure it out.  But then her turned the three circles into the word 'dog' by adding the line for the d, and a curved line for the g.


Our stateroom helper was great too! He got the beds all ready (dropped the bunk bed) and sometimes left chocolates and/ or towel animals.
