Disney Cruise!

Our Disney Cruise was very fun!  So glad we got to experience this cruise before cruising was off-limits AND that we got to spend such a special week with my parents.  Definitely was able to check this off my bucket list and we all have amazing memories to enjoy.  Thanks so much Mom and Dad!

O'Hare - the kids love the C terminal to go through the light tunnel

We caught our boat out of Puerto Rico, so enjoyed a day in PR before we departed.  My first time there, and it was beautiful!

Mom and Dad treated us to a night at the lovely Sheraton by the port.  We could have stayed there for the whole time and been blissfully happy.











We could see the port harbor from our hotel window

There's our ship!

Claire's souvenir from Puerto Rico




Seeing a few sights of San Juan before we boarded the ship




















After a pretty long delay in checking in because of their computer systems being down, we FINALLY got to board the ship!  It was amazing!

Mom and Dad surprised us with these custom made door magnets.



First order of business, swimming and eating soft serve!



Dinner at Lumineers.  You change restaurants  on the ship every night, but your personal wait staff comes with you from place to place.

The kids loved the kids' club, they didn't want to leave most times that we came to get them.

Our room was really nice!

Catamaran excursion in St. Kitt's - our first port
















sea shells


feeding the fish

No worries!  Guiding the ship with his feet.









Dance party on the way back!




Pirate night!








Snorkeling trip at the British Virgin Islands, too!



I loved it here:)  Like heaven.


Quick rainstorm, but it was warm.



Hunting for little sea pearls.


I saw a sea turtle in this cove right off shore

Bushwhacker did not disappoint - this was a recommended BVI drink from Ben and Linda who had gone on a sailing trip around the islands fairly recently







Rest of the afternoon at sea to enjoy the ship!



















Amazing dinner and show at the Animator's Palate






Ratatouille viewing on the deck on a warm night


Breakfast al fresco - our full day at sea

While Mom, Dad and I got massages, Matt hung out with the kids.







We passed another Disney ship!

This lady, always double fisting!

We hung out here and played cards for hours







This slide was so cool, you stand at the top of it and the bottom drops out from underneath you, then you slide over the ocean, and back over the boat before you're done.

Dinner at Rapunzel's Royal Table








Learning how to draw Mickey Mouse




Claire and I co-drew this guy

Drinks at the adult's only piano bar with the 'rents


Everything was already Christmas themed.  We were on a "Very Merrytime" cruise.


Cuties

Anniversary swans - they had just celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary






Castaway Cay in the Bahamas - Disney's private island























Bike ride around the island was fun

























Final hot tub and movie time


Last dinner!
Last show - the shows were amazing Broadway-like shows

Hello, Miami!  Goodbye amazing vacation!
