Day 6 – Day at Sea
What a great way to spend a holiday like Thanksgiving…at sea all day! We slept in, had a late breakfast, then watched John Charles, Musician/Comedian, perform his family show. We watched Monsters University in the Buena Vista Theatre and later saw watched Brave in our stateroom. Before dinner, we hung out at La Piazza. For dinner, among the choices were Lobster and Turkey. I had two lobster tails, while The Reader had Turkey. We both had chocolate lava cake for dessert. We were stuffed to the gills. We walked around the ship and ended up in O’Gill’s Pub for more football.
Day 7 – Castaway Cay
Today, we spent the entire day on Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay. As you would expect from Disney, the island was decorated for the holidays. They even had snow making machines by the Christmas Tree on the pier.
Day 8 – Port Canaveral – Disembarkation
We took advantage of the onboard airline check-in. The cruise line issued us “special” luggage tags the night before. We left our checked bags outside our cabin like everyone else but instead of collecting our bags at the port, we collected them at the airport in baggage claim at the end of our return flight at our home airport. I was a little nervous about this at first but it really works and is a great idea for enhancing your overall vacation experience. Overall, this cruise was a great way to kick off our holiday season.
