I LOVE Comedians with Guitars......You didn't tell me that part...

[jenseib]

I am not sure how this works? On the Dream they have water coolers with fresh lemons in the water. Here there is a drinking fountain with lemons next to it. LOL! Do you filter your water with a lemon slice as you drink it?

Back to the spa.

If you ever finding yourself needing a razor…come here…they have tons you can use.

[jenseib]

You can even shower here too.

Or if the sauna is your type of thing…go for it!

[jenseib]

I took a picture and Susan happened to be there. Carolyn says it looks like she is trying to hide quickly in a game of hide and seek. LOL

These are a HUGE hit with people. The heated stone chairs in the rainforest room. I heard they are fabulous, but I never did try them for myself.

These are hot saunas. When Brook opened the door the steam was pouring out.

[jenseib]

These benches were heated too. I didn’t know that till several days later when I was making the rounds early morning to take pictures with the tripod and I sat on one and WOW…they are really hot.

On we went down the hall. They had several rooms decorated so cute. I only took a picture of a few of the rooms. Each was slightly different, but I actually was tired of taking so many spa pictures at that point.

[jenseib]

[jenseib]

As I rounded back around the circle near the reception desk I saw a door open and several people walked out. My guess is that they were having a meeting in there. It was the hair salon and being a licensed cosmologist, I had to go in and take a few pictures of that as well.

We came back out and some of us asked about different services, etc. Some were really interested in the rain forest room. I liked the sound of it, but honestly I don’t see myself using it enough to pay for it. I think Susan and Carolyn did a couples package, which basically means 2 people in the same cabin, for the rain forest room on sea days (3). It was cheaper to do it that way over the single packages.

Lisa considered it and asked me, but I just couldn’t commit. What if I totally hated it? I could only see me sitting on the hot stones for short periods of time …. And then what if I loved it. I was then worried I would spend too much time there and miss other fun events. I’m complex that way.

In the end we didn’t get it and Lisa never do get a single day or sea day package. Maybe next time I will give it a try.

[jenseib]

We decided to split up after the spa tour. It was almost 1:30 and I was so excited with how much I had done and seen already at such an early hour.

My next destination in mind was the kids clubs. I wanted to get a few pictures while they were still open to anyone.

We said good bye to the other girls and off we went ….with pictures along the way.

[jenseib]

I had given Lisa the option of going on her own too, but she was interested in seeing the clubs a bit too, and I think she was still too nervous to yet go off on her own.

[jenseib]

First we came to Flounders Nursery.

It was very cute. It was also bigger than I had thought it would be.

[jenseib]

Then we hit the bigger kids clubs. I think we went in the lab first then over to the club, but I can’t swear to it and I can’t remember off the top of my head which is which. I do like the Dreams set up better where both clubs run into each other and kids can go from side to side. On the Magic the age groups are completely separated. (though now kids can go to both clubs)

[jenseib]

You have to go around to the other side of the Atrium on deck 5 to get to the other club.

I’ll let you in on a secret. I had trouble finding both clubs. It was set up so differently than the Dream that I walked by them a couple of times and had to ask a CM to direct us.

[jenseib]

And this is why I want to be a kid …….the pirate ship!

[jenseib]

 

 

It was actually very different than I had pictured it…but still looked like great fun for kids.

 

 

[jenseib]

More of the club.

[jenseib]

I had to take a peek at the cute kids club bathrooms too.

[jenseib]

This hallway is between the 2 clubs.

We headed back to our room. I am not sure why we did, but our luggage had arrived.

I forgot to mention earlier that we had also met our State Room Host, Rodrigo, and he was just so friendly. We loved this guy. We had asked him to separate the beds and they were already done now and he had brought our luggage into our room as well.

We decided to unpack a bit and then I hung out on the balcony taking it all in…and then we spot them…dolphins!

Sadly those are the best pictures I got of the buggers. They were popping up randomly and I never knew where to aim. Why did they hang here in this gross looking green water….go out into the ocean…it’s cleaner out there!

[jenseib]

You probably can’t see them in this picture, but there are 2 dolphins peeking up out in the distance.

And a few birds flew by.

We then saw this float by. UGH! Lisa told me to take a picture and tell everyone NOT to litter and it is so nasty and the poor dolphins are swimming with this junk.

[jenseib]

We headed out and over to Guest Services. I wanted to get tickets for the Alice Tea Party. I ended up getting them for our 2nd sea day for Lisa, Brook and I.

I will give you all the disappointing news right now. We all completely forgot about it and never went. I am so mad at myself for doing so…but I took a nap without a care in the world and remembered several hours later.

And then we had to get a picture with the Mickey Icon.

[jenseib]

And then it was time to check out Beat Street, which is the bar area.

[jenseib]

A look into Rockin Bar D.

This place hosted a lot of events and usually had the adult nightly entertainer in here.

Loving all of the pics! I haven't been on either classic ship yet. I need to get my son into the club and to that pirate ship before he is too old for it.

Or before they remove it. I have a feeling during dry dock a lot of things are going to be made more like the Fantasy and Dream.

[jenseib]

After our tour of the bar area I wanted to find the Edge (the preteen club) and take a look at that. That is the one club I had not seen on the Dream, so it would be nice to see what the Magic had…and maybe I can compare in a few weeks….

 

 

 

 

 

 

[jenseib]

It was nice and I am sure the preteens enjoy it very much.

We then headed towards Brook’s room.

I wanted to give her her tea party ticket …..you know ….the ones we totally forgot about on the actual day …..

While in her room, I took a few pictures. She brought this turtle along. It’s Henry’s and she took pictures of him throughout the cruise in different spots and was going to show Henry his adventures.

Brook had an ocean view room. This was the view out her window.
