Part Two

What a sad sad little lobster......
If you have not noticed yet we at the Williams home take our food eating very seriously. In most cases our much needed R&R is food centered. Ok and maybe a little wine too... on with the show I hope I don't have too many tangents. So our adventures at Disneyworld soon wrapped up and onto the Disney Cruise we went.

I must speak of the Disney cruise if I may. Ok so let’s start with the concierge level. Not sure how much more this cost in the room category only Jerry knows but the only advantage we saw to this extra expense was that when we checked into the dock we had a separate line, or no line if you will. Then we were ushered to an area where we could make reservations of any kind. That and a daily fruit selection or cookie was it. Nothing to be had here.

Rooms great were with an add on room- good (scale 1-5) 4. Food quality below average (scale 1-5) 2. Ok--- first day needed some lunch and ended up on beach blanket blah blah… food here is inedible. I am not kidding this is not Jill being a pain in the ass this was BAD!!!! At this point- the beginning I was hunkering down for a long painful 4 days. But then wait a light at the end of the tunnel….. That nights at dinner on the wine list—by the glass--- Cakebread Chardonnay. Ok people I can deal with this situation when I can have cakebread chardonnay. It is true I can overlook many things and bad food is a big one but I can. First night dinner at Palo’s adults only. It is their nice dinner (so fancy) We dropped the kids at the oceaneer club and off to palo’s we go. The server that night was from Bosnia and quite fabulous. I was trying to figure a way to bring him home in my suitcase. He could be the new William’s house manager. Ok I am getting ahead of myself.

The jaunt to Nassau was great we toured around the island and ended up at Atlantis for lunch. I will return to the Bahamas. I like this place. Dining room night #2- holy shit those are the words that come to mind. Loud screaming babies. Ok I am really trying to have compassion here. My babies have screamed bloody murder on many occasions. But the symphony of babies screaming was a lot. Ok not enough that a glass of cakebread could not take away. Maybe they could have a screaming babies section and then every body else. Just a thought. The show that night after dinner was fabulous. Characters, music and princesses. The only thing. The next day was the Disney island castaway cay. I liked just getting off the boat and being on the beach in 5 minutes. That was good. We get settled on the beach. Wishing the concierge fairies would surface again and show us the way to the roped off concierge area. But no this does not occur. We are left to our own resources.

The next thing we know at waters edge the girls are having there photos taken 100 times actually according to Sam it was 99 times. But this was something to be minimized. Maybe it was just little girls in bathing suits posing that got to us. The next thing we know we are told that it will rain hard in 30 minutes and we see these dark looming clouds close by. We decide it is lunch time and we pack it up. Little did we know that rain to follow would be of a torrential nature. We actually had to laugh because it was so crazy. We waited the storm and then got on the ship earlier than usual because of the storm. This was the last day and basically the end of the trip and we were all pretty tired so a couple hours of sun we were all good.
