Wednesday 28th August: Day at Sea (cont) The food at tonight’s dinner was so much better than the night before. For starters Lexi and I had ”ANGELICAS LIME MARINATED SHRIMP: With Chili, White Corn, Sweet Potato and Onion”. We both enjoyed this, I could have eaten a bigger portion. Alice...

It did seem like most tables around us did have them. I was thinking that maybe with it being the end of the Europe season some had been damaged and there just weren’t enough. And we drew the short straw

Wednesday 28th August: Day at Sea (cont) Tonight’s show was Beauty and the Beast, a show we hadn’t seen before so were really looking forward to. There had been an extra performance during the day so we were hoping a lot of the younger children had seen it then and that there would be less...

Wednesday 28th August: Day at Sea (cont) We loved the little spot we’d found. Even when the weather improved and it started to fill up with people it never felt as chaotic as the main pool area. I would definitely recommend the Funnel Puddle Pool to families with kids who are happy with just a...

Wednesday 28th August: Day at Sea (cont) We wandered into the atrium which was again packed with people. Lots of meet and greets and photo shoots. Walking past D Lounge where there were family activities going on we saw that this was also very busy. Before the cruise I had said to the girls...

Wednesday 28th August: Day at sea (cont) Finally Dumbo ❤️. We had a lovely time exploring the art. We decided that we needed some fresh air at this point so went for a walk around deck 4. This is my favourite place on a sea day, I love to just sit on the loungers and watch the sea, and it’s...

Wednesday 28th August: Day at sea (cont) We had fun playing the game and successfully solved the mystery. Lexi headed off to Vibe at this point while Alice and I continued with our art tour.

Wednesday 28th August: Day at sea (cont) Because of the rainy weather we decided to combine playing a game of Midship Detective Agency with a tour of the artwork on the ship. We opted to play the case of the plundered paintings and set out with our map. I had to take these photos of the...

Wednesday 28th August: Day at sea We’d put our clocks forward an hour overnight and this together with the girls dawdling getting ready meant we were later going to breakfast than I would have liked. In contrast to the lovely weather we’d had in Southampton the previous day, this morning was...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) Our dinner had taken quite a long time and since Lexi wanted to get to the Vibe for an icebreaker activity she left a little while before us. I did try to persuade Alice to go along as well but she was quite stressed about the noise and busyness...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) Our server then came back to take our food orders. I gave him my starter and main course choice then was surprised when asked what I wanted for dessert. When I questioned this I was told he wasn’t sure if he would be able to get back over to us later...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) After the show we made a quick exit and went back to our room to get ready for dinner. Our dinner tonight was to be at 8.30 in the Royal Palace just off the atrium. One of the things we usually like to do before dinner is get to the atrium a bit...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such poor behaviour in a theatre before. It was very different from our previous cruises

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) We had the late dinner seating which meant we would be going to the early showing of the the live show in the Walt Disney Theatre. Tonight’s show was to be The Golden Mickeys and Alice and I were really looking forward to it. Lexi is not a big musical...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) It was around this time that our room host knocked to introduce herself. She was wonderful the whole cruise. Spotless room, and always checking if we needed anything when we bumped into her. Some more photos leaving Southampton.

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) After the Vibe we headed back to our room to see if our cases had arrived. They had so I partially unpacked before relaxing on the verandah. And we were finally moving. The time on the photo says 5.12pm Some photos as we sailed away from...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) Before the cruise, Lexi was very excited to be able to go to the Vibe. Alice not so much. A bit of an extrovert/introvert situation. She agreed to go to the sign up and have a look around. I wasn’t going to push her into something she was...
