Ok, that tub looks amazing, especially for a cruise ship!
I could totally see them using the same type of food for these themed days so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the same bread.That looks remarkably like the Hulk-themed bread on Marvel Day at Sea.
That's a fun coincidence. And I could totally see that being a reason why, but it still seems like a missed opportunity to do something fun.I just realized we had the same dinner rotation on our cruise as yours!(our cruise was the week after yours). I was also bummed that they don't do anything more in AP for dinner. I'm guessing they don't because if they did, everyone would request the rotation that would get them to eat there on SW night.
Right? It was awful. How do you mess up cheese and souffle? Both wonderful things.I had gotten the cheese souffle also, and agree with you about it.
That is funny. I've noticed that the food has been pretty consistently the same from on my three Disney cruises so I'm learning what to expect. That is a good idea to take notes on what you like and don't like. I always try to go for something new every cruise. The nice thing with cruises is you can order a lot and be a little more adventurous because if you don't like it you aren't stuck with that meal. The black truffle pasta is awesome. I don't think I've tried the pork chop, maybe next time.As I've read your report I've seen that you and I order a lot of the same food, so funny. I have a notebook that I write stuff in that I want to remember about when we go on a cruise. I have a list of food that you've tried and said is good that I haven't tried yet that I'm going to try on our next cruise. I always get the same stuff and want to try some new stuff from now on. I'll still always get the black truffle pasta in AP and the pork chop there, both are so good!
They are a little on the small size. I've only been in the one-bedroom suite and the normal verandah room, not the bigger family verandah so I don't know the difference in shower sizes. The one on our first cruise was probably a little smaller than the concierge one. But it was a really nice shower with amazing water pressure. When I go to WDW the one-bedroom villas have the rain shower head and the water pressure can be awful. I think that's what I kept comparing when I would shower. I really liked that there were two so when we'd get back from the pool we could both shower immediately.I was wondering about the showers in your cabin, I've seen videos of them and thought they look small. I love the round showers with the rainforest shower heads that they have in the family size cabins.
Ya there were a lot, I only took one screenshot. There was some interesting facts in it.I didn't know about the facts on the app, I'll have to remember to look at it next time.
Thanks, it sucked that I got a cold. I think I figured out a plan to prevent it for next time where I will be eating all food with a fork and knife and nothing with my hands. People seemed to cough on me a lot on the cruise too when I couldn't escape like in the theater or in an elevator.Sorry you started to feel ill.
It was amazing. It really was like a hot tub with the jets and with the TV in the mirror you could just relax in the tub and watch a movie.Ok, that tub looks amazing, especially for a cruise ship!
I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of the bathroom yet, so I went around doing that.
This is the second bathroom that is located near the front door.
The bathroom is pretty amazing and even more amazing that its on a cruise ship where things are usually super tiny.Holy, moly! Nice bathroom
I love that about this room.Two bathrooms??!!
Ya I was really mad I ended up getting sick. Thankfully it wasn't anything too terrible, mostly a head cold with a cough.That stinks that you weren't feeling well. There's been so many nasty viruses going around this year
Ugh that sounds like it was a nightmare. It amazed me how many people coughed without covering their mouth.I HATE when that^^ happens! On our cruise I was walking along a hallway and the lady in front of me started coughing and sneezing a lot WITHOUT covering her face. I was right behind her and held my breath. She was walking in the middle of the hall and I couldn't get around her. I thought I would pass out from trying to hold my breath for so long!! She didn't just cough/sneeze once, it was for a good couple of minutes. I finally nudge my way pass her and nearly ran ahead to get a breath of fresh non-contaminated air. I figured she was rude for not covering her face, so I shouldn't feel bad about rushing past her. I thought for sure I would get sick, thankfully I didn't.
The Flu is awful, that's good you didn't have it for very long. I've never gotten the shot, I'm nervous to because my mom had a really bad allergic reaction so I don't know if I would too or not. Strep is not good, hopefully no one else at school gets it. I forget how it's caught, but I know when I was a kid my brother had it and I never ended up getting it so maybe it's not super contagious?Last year my dh, dd, and I all got the flu(even after getting the vax) about 3 weeks before our cruise. I was so happy because I always worry we'll get it right before our cruise and will have to cancel. We all got the tamiflu and only felt bad for about 2 days. I just got back from picking up my dd from school and she just told me 2 of her friends were out today with strep, GREAT!
If you want to respond to just a part of what is written you highlight it and then click reply. It will copy the highlighted portion down into the response box and you can type underneath it to reply to them. I'm not really sure how to use the quote option, when I click on it nothing happens.I know to hit reply when you want to highlight a complete post. If you just want to respond to part of a post do you click on the quote and then highlight it to get it to show up on your responding post? I just copied and pasted what you said because I wasn't sure how to do it.
That sounds like a fantastic trip! Are you going to write a trip report for it? You're going to have a great time next year on this cruise too.Got super far behind while I was at WDW and on my own cruise! Loved it so much I booked a SWDAS for next February, with the same itinerary as you guys! So I'm also scouring your TR to make sure I don't miss any good tips!
I’m definitely planning on it! Just need to finish my DLP TR from June! And I still need to get cracking on my Dec WDW TR! So many trips, so many TRs, only so much time!That sounds like a fantastic trip! Are you going to write a trip report for it? You're going to have a great time next year on this cruise too
Thank you! The Star Wars aspect of the cruise was a lot of fun I would definitely recommend this cruise.Now I'm dying to go on a Star Wars cruise! Loving your trip report.
That is a good problem to have lol!I’m definitely planning on it! Just need to finish my DLP TR from June! And I still need to get cracking on my Dec WDW TR! So many trips, so many TRs, only so much time!
They really do act like cats wanting to be pet. They would brush up against our legs and continue to swim by for attention it was cute. Those are great cruises! We go to the Caribbean and Bahamas a lot just because it's so easy to jump on a cruise since we live near the ports. Out of all the islands Castaway Cay is definitely my favorite.I enjoyed reading about your stingray excursion. If we ever make it to Castaway Cay (not sure when that'll be...we've done Alaska, Northern Europe, and hoping for a Norway one), DD14 would LOVE to do this. She loves stingrays--she's been to a couple sting ray touch tanks at aquariums and loves that. (Lol, one of them freaked me out...it missed my hand, so it turned around and came back to be petted...which I was totally not expecting!)
It might be because they have those floating food booths for the rays and in strong winds I could imagine the water isn't very calm. It could also make snorkeling dangerous. The excursion was a lot of fun I would totally do it again, but only if we go during the summer or something. That water was awful. I'm also the girl who will take a scolding hot shower lol so cold water is not my favorite. I could see Serenity Bay having a little warmer water, it's a lot shallower so the sun would make that water heat up quicker.The Stingray excursion seemed fun! For some reason, it was cancelled on the day we were there. Pretty much every excursion was cancelled (most for wind, but I don't know why that would have affected the stingrays?). We weren't doing it though.
I thought the water at the family beach was freezing (this was mid-February). My mom dipped her feet in the Serenity Bay beach and said it was nice and warm though!
I didn't know that about the barbs, just that one killed Steve Irwin. That's good to know Thanks!FYI on the Sting Rays. We did a private tour to Sting Ray City on our EBPC cruise and our guide gave us the rundown on the barbs. The barbs are way down near the base of the sting rays tail. They can't shoot the barbs, so unless you're swimming right on top of them, the barbs won't even touch you. I was fine just shuffling along the sand bar and holding them in my arms. Regardless, we had fun interacting with them both at Castaway Cay and Sting Ray City.
