Day 3 - December 6 - Second Day at Sea

We find ourselves out at sea for the second straight day.

An overall strange day. First is the loss of an hour, as the clocks went forward last night. It appears that the Caribbean does not observe day light savings time. Second, yesterday we needed to be up early for the character breakfast, today there are no morning requirements for us, and third, everyone is generally tired from the last couple of days of hustle and bustle.

The results, brunch (actually closer to lunch) for the family instead of breakfast.

I think that it should be pointed out inside cabins are dark. It is quite easy to lose track of time in the mornings.

Trivia Fact #2

Disney makes a lot of eggs every day.


Blogger Side Note - Room Size

I was a little concern prior to the trip about the size of the room. I will say that the room is not large by any means, but is sufficient for anyone who is not planning on staying in their room their entire vacation.

Misadventures of Stitch

The afternoon, saw the children in kids club. Deb, Chloe and I spent time strolling throughout the ship, doing a little shopping. It should be noted that I was causing no trouble and minding my own business, I was attacked by a large blue alien. He moved quick and with a purpose. Unprovoked, he stuck his claw in my ear like a wet willy, and while distracted proceeded to steal the stroller and began to push the baby down the hall. Thanks to some fast acting Disney crew members, Stitch was quickly apprehended and Chloe was returned to her parents, much to her disappointment.

Blogger Side Note #2 - Disney Characters

Being a veteran of the Disney parks, we are familiar with Disney characters being surrounded by security and treated like rock stars. I also understand the need for this with the amount of people that only want one quick picture, or one quick autograph. The boat is a completely different animal. The lineups were smaller and more manageable. The characters appeared to be more interactive and I am sure that we were lucky in some situations like the Stitch story above, but we found characters throughout the ship.

Disney Trivia Question of the Day

How many cups of coffee are served on board per day?

Shuffle Board Game

With a little extra time on our hands, the kids challenged their dad to a little game of shuffleboard. A quick game to 50. It was my intention to go a little easy on the girls, and I shot from the regular line while letting the girls play forward of that position. I am glad that we didn't play for money, as the girls decided to give Dad a good old fashion whopping taking him 51 to 7. After the game, Chloe decided to give me a few tips for the rematch.


Evening Entertainment

Tonight entertainment was another Broadway show called Villains. The premise is a simple one, Hades needs to add more evil to the underworld or be replaced. As with Cinderella the previous night, the show was incredible and a must do on the cruise.
