Day 8 - December 11 - Going Home

We woke anchored back in Florida. Our week at sea is now over, and it is time to get some breakfast, head downstairs and disembark. Similiar to everything else, Disney has this process down to a tee. My recommendations for this day is simple; find a guy with a dolly, and let him take care of the bags.

Looking over the past week here is a summary of my thoughts.

Things I liked

1) The incredible service on board. I think it will be hard for us to find another place that treats their guests so well.

2) Anne from Small World Vacations - handled all our questions and was an incredible travel agent and without a doubt would recommend to others. anne@smallworldvacations.com

3) George and Eddy from Happy Limousine Inc., exceptional service, vehicle was ready when we arrived, everything promised was delivered. I would strongly suggest to anyone to look at their prices versus the price to take a bus from the airport to the cruise line.

4) Dubloon Turtle Cover Sail and Snorkel excursion. The crew was great and the excursion with worth its price.

5) Stringray feeding on Castaway Cay.

6) Nursary Staff on board the cruise. They updated us with pager comments, were great with our youngest, and eliminated any concerns we may have had.

7) Tangled - I have it as a top 5 Disney movie. Would recommend not watching a 3D movie on a moving boat, the two don't mix well.

8) Shipboard activities - Always something to do.
9) Meals - Not a single bad meal. The sit down meals are a must.

10) Character Interaction - All the characters spent a reasonable amount of time with us, were patient for all of our photo requests, and were found throughout the ship.

11) The live shows - they were all incredible.

Things I didn't like

1) Butterfly Farm excursion - its not a farm, it a shack next to a green house with a two hour bus tour.

2) Price of Pictures - $400 for a picture CD is just insane.

3) Loss of Internet - I realize that it was outside of Disney's control and they gave a full refund, but it still was a disappointment.

4) Pin Trading Night - I am being a little more picky here, but was expecting an organized trading line, it was more of a stock trading floor. It was a little tougher for our children to get in and trade.

5)  ABC Christmas Night Shopping Bag. - It was a free gift given out at events like Bingo etc. for attending. Give out one, not a box of them. We must now own a dozen of them.
