We left Port Canaveral and traveled through the night and arrived in Key West the next morning.
We ran into other cruise ships everywhere we went, either Carnival or Norwegian. It was comforting to know a rescuer was close by if we needed one.
The tenth deck at sunrise. Notice no one else was up.
First Sunrise at Key West.
This is the fourth pool on the boat but is was off limits to everyone but the crew. But we never saw it being used. I guess they were too busy with us to have any free time.
This is the basketball and kickball area on the top deck in the front. This is also the place where you get the most wind, thus the blast shield and net to keep the balls on the boat. Ping-Pong tables were scattered throughout the upper decks.
The adult pool . Did some laps. Well you can't call them laps as much as back and forth.
Most ships have one super loud horn. Ours had seven super loud ones that played "When You Wish Upon a Star". The first time they blew them off was when we left Port Canaveral. It was announced over the PA that in a while whey would blow them. Well is was almost immediately after that they played. We were not expecting them quite so soon and we didn't realize that we were immediately under them. THEY WERE LOUD and the boys were so startled and scared that they didn't know where to run to get out of the noise.
This is the family pool with the Jumbo-tron. It was always filled with families either swimming or watching Disney movies.
This is the kid Mickey pool, complete with water slide. This pool was well used also. More from this area later.
This is Pluto's Dog House where you could pick up Burgers, hot dogs, Chicken Nuggets and fries all day long, and the burgers were big 1/2
pounders.
We usually eat breakfast on the back deck from the Topside Buffet. See our trail?
This is one of the two duplicate controls for the boat on ether side of the bridge. The captain will use this when he backs up the boat, since it is kind of hard to use a rear view mirror.
Deck four at location F was our gathering spot in case we needed to abandon ship. We needed to pack in really tight in orderly columns for our practice drill. There was a lady beside us who was non-stop talking so we could barely hear the instructions. Then when we were dismissed, that same lady was complaining that it was so noisy that she couldn't hear what they said. I say
DipStick twice over.
Here we have a statue of Mickey with the ships steering wheel because they didn't need it any more. They use joy sticks now.
Our first breakfast was back in the Parrot Cay dinner. This is where everyone that stayed long enough got treated with a napkin hat. Here is Peter Pan Liam.
Chip came to visit us and sign autograph books.
Then Mickey stopped by for a visit.
Goofy was next.
Logan is getting fixed up with his hat.
End result.
Then we saw other adults around us getting all dolled up with hats. Here is the Pharaoh and Cleopatra.
Then Green Lantern Jeff was outfitted with a tin pan hat or is it Princess Leah hair?
And Pocahontas Kirstin.
I finally got
Kellan to sleep and was holding him when I was outfitted with a Pluto hat and then Pluto himself came to see the handy work.
Next was Minny Judy.
The two boys didn't keep their hats very long and they were gone when the real Minny stopped to say hi.
This guy was across the isle and and looks like he got a pirate hat complete with cup ear rings.
We were docking at Key West when I saw my next boat, a really big one. Since I don't already have one, it must be my first boat. This boat's home port was our next stop on our trip - Georgetown, Grand Cayman.
The Disney Magic from Key West.
Sign Post.
This is the Cypress House. It is made of cypress wood which never rots and the house has never been painted. An unpainted house means that it was an unfinished house and an unfinished house was not taxed. The paint is coming off my house when it warms up.
We passed the Key Lime pie maker on our trolley tour and he threatened us with a pie.
Unemployment is so bad that even Pirates will work for food.
This is the southern most house in the United Stated.
The buoy says 90 miles to Cuba, the the southern most and closest spot to Cuba.
There are free range chickens all over town and they are protected by law and a $500 fine for hurting them.
Liam is expecting the boat to drive forward to pick him up because he is tired of walking. I can't go on. Sigh!
This will be the only time you will see Judy in a bikini.
Smile.
Liam being attacked by a hammerhead shark.
Logan saved his brother but he himself was attacked.
Two junior pirates.
Three tourists.
Now you know what they were looking at.
Our second sunset at Key West with two biplaines flying by.
Sweet Kellan just taking it all in.
This is the comedian/magician that was trying to get 1000 FaceBook friends this year. He was very entertaining. Before the show I was taking sunset pictures and he happened by and asked me if I wanted to have a picture with him. Judy took one of both of us.
Our second towel animal waiting for us in our room.
