Thursday
After breakfast and packing the last few items, we were off to Port Canaveral. We arrived for check in about 12:45 and it wasn't overly crowded. I think other cruise lines seriously need to check into how Disney loads & unloads, they have it down to an art that works! We were in the terminal, checked in and stepping on board all within about 45 minutes. We were able to use the "Castaway Cay Club" line b/c it was our second Disney cruise, BUT we watched people in the other line and they were at the counter at the same time we were. Both lines were moving quickly and smoothly!
You have to love stepp
ing on board and them saying "Welcome Tanner family" and everyone clapping for you, too funny! It was time to drop stuff off in the room before finding lunch. We were excited to find a yummy dessert tray from Jo (amazing, thanks again) and Mom & Dad had a cheese & fruit tray (also amazing and yummy)! We had a big ole' bag of free stuff from being in the Castaway Club too! And yep, that's sparkling apple cider, come on.... you know us!
We found the lunch buffet and stuffed ourselves silly yet again. They had strawberry soup on the buffet and I was in heaven. (It's typically my favorite appetizer and served one night on most ships) We walked around to check out the ship before heading back to the our rooms and seeing our luggage already there, fast! We grabbed the life jackets and were off to the safety briefing. (Gotta love that Disney let's you meet inside in an area for the s
pill instead of standing outside on the deck
s in the hot sun stuffed together and melting with those life jackets on)
Then Andy & I went to book our excursion in Nassau down at the desk where there wasn't a soul in line (how amazing is that in itself) and it took all of about 3 minutes. (Though if they are crowded it would be good if they would adopt the "book excursion" on the TV in your room thing that other lines have) We were then off to the sail away party.

Bon Voyage
Before you know it you've walked around the ship and it's time to get ready for a show & dinner. The "Hercules" show is a hoot and we loved it more this time than last. The up to date jokes are HILARIOUS and the cast is so talented! We had a few minutes for looking in the stores before heading to dinner.
Our servers, JoJo & Diana, were the BEST we've ever had on any ship!! I was anxious to remind them of that on many occasions. They were very quick, very personal and generally rocked! We truly enjoyed getting to know them better through the week!
After our late dinner Andy & I were tired and headed to bed, we needed to be up and ready to go fairly early in Nassau. Mom & Dad watched the "newlywed" game show and had a ball!
