Disney Cruise Part 1


In early October we took a 7 night cruise to Nassau, Bahamas; Key West; and Castaway Cay-the Disney Island.  We went with two families that live in our neighborhood.  They both have children the same ages as Ben and Elizabeth and they always have a good time together.  We have a blast with their parents too so it works out well for us all.  We had such a wonderful time, I would highly recommend a Disney cruise for any families out there! 
 
Here we are about to get on to the ship.   



Elizabeth (8) Nick (6) Bridget (8) Emma (8) Brady (8) and Ben (6)
After we got on the boat we started to explore.  The Kids Club had an open house where we could stay and hang out with the kids.  This was the only time the we stayed with the kids in the club so we were glad we got to see all the things the children got to do.  

The boys were pretty excited about the Wii - but I don't think they played it too much!  
Even the computer terminals were full of Disney characters!

This is the foyer of the boat.  My pictures don't do it justice. 
This is the second kids club area called the Oceanier's Club.  The other Club was called The Lab.  

The kids found some fun places to hang out.  


The girls are checking out the massive ship. 



After checking out the kid's areas we went to the decks.  

There was a fun sports area that had ping pong, basketball, soccer, and foosball.  We played here at some point every day.  

Once everyone was on board there was a kickoff party.  There was lots of music and dancing!

 
 
I love how into it Emma is!

We saw a few dolphins off the side of the boat after we left from Galveston. 

We were trying to spot some more dolphins as we were leaving the port.  That's Bobby next to Tom (Bridget and Brady's dad). 

We all went to our rooms to clean up and then headed for dinner at the restaurant Parrot Cay. 
Cheers!
After every dinner there was a fantastic show.  The kids made up plenty of entertainment while waiting for the show to begin.  


After the show we relaxed on the deck for a bit, 
before heading to our room for bed.  We had to get a picture of our first towel animal.  We had a busy, wonderful first day!
