jenseib Posted April 2, 2013 Author #403 Share Posted April 2, 2013 After my run in with Daisy, I headed back into the D Lounge and found Claire and Aunt Mary up near the dance floor in seats waiting for the Family Fusion game to start. Now it was very obvious that some people here were VERY familiar with the game. They knew where to sit and how to attract themselves to be picked and then knew a lot of the questions that were going to be asked. There was some people there doing this to WIN! It was fun and funny and we had a good time. Close to the end of the game Alexis and Geoff showed up. Geoff said he was in bed in his PJ’s and Alexis came over (Her family had all fallen asleep) and said she needed to go find Claire and Aunt Mary. Basically she was jealous that they were still out and she was stuck in the room. Geoff said he tried to talk her out of it, but gave in and took her. I was amazed that She knew exactly where to go, but Geoff said she knew they had talked about karaoke earlier and figured they would be there and she was right. I told Mary and Geoff they could leave and I would take her back to her room, but I think they ended up staying, even though it was clear how tired they were. I think both girls wanted them to stay and they never tell them no. After the game show was over, there was a little bit of dancing. Claire and Alexis went out for a bit, but it didn’t last long and we then headed our separate ways. I guess Claire and I still had energy, because we went for a walk on deck 4. I think this area is so cute. But the downside for many is that it is a smoking area for the evening hours. I don’t know if it has always been or if it is new as I only saw it once on our last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted April 2, 2013 Author #407 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think this royal chair is so pretty. A walk down by the shops, which were closed tonight being that we still were in port. I have eyed this sweatshirt on this cruise so much as well as my last cruise in Sept. on the Magic. I never bought it and I should’ve. It’s so cute, but I was having a hard time getting around the price tag. I was shopping last weekend and saw a lady wearing it at the store and my heart had a little pang of regret and jealousy.

jenseib Posted April 2, 2013 Author #408 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We headed back towards the elevators to go up and grab a drink before heading back to our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 2, 2013 Author #409 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think we might’ve gotten a little snack of an ice-cream cone as well. We made it back to our room and got ready for bed. I think Claire was looking through a Fish Extender Gift. I swear between the Fish Extenders, my Mom and Aunt Mary, she constantly had something new. She was pretty happy about that. We flicked on the TV and found they were showing the evenings performance of Villains Tonight. It was about half way through and we lay down and watched it. I soon drifted off and a little bit later awoke to Claire tapping me to let me know the show was over and I could turn off the TV. I did so ….and I really wish they had a sleep timer on the TV’s. I use ours at home every single day and love it. Soon we both drifted off to dreamland and ready to start another exciting and fun filled day. I had laid my head 2 consecutive nights in the same bed now. A record for this trip at this point, but I had been to another Country today. I also met JohnPA from the disboards today as well. Oh the Places We Go, the People We see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #410 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Day 6, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012 I think today I actually might have slept in till almost 7. Amazing, isn’t it. I got dressed and headed out to see how close we were to Castaway Cay. I soon saw signs of land. It was another beautiful morning! I took pictures around the ship as we got closer.

jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #411 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I could see even from afar that the island was brown from the hurricane, but I was still excited to be here. After enjoying the view for a bit, I headed back towards the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #412 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Claire was still dead to the world, but I think I kind of nudged her to get ready. I walked out on the balcony to see our view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #413 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The Cast Members from the area were arriving as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #414 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Down the hallway, our family members were rising and enjoying the view as well. I headed out once again. I think Claire had gotten up and was hanging with Mom and Dad if I remember right. I wanted to go up top and watch us dock. I thought I would check the deck outside of the Meridian, which is the bar between Palo and Remy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #415 Share Posted April 3, 2013 SIGH!!!!! I wish I was there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #416 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The outside deck is really a nice area. It is a smoking area, however, for those who have issues with smoke, you won’t want to go here, especially in the evening, where I believe they have cigar smoking as well.

jenseib Posted April 3, 2013 Author #417 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tie us up tight! We don’t want our ship to float off to sea without us. I believe the other side of the outdoor bar seating was no smoking though and these are the chairs over on that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench Posted April 3, 2013 #418 Share Posted April 3, 2013 All I can say is Wow! Your pics are amazing and thank you for allowing me to travel with your family by way of pics:) How can I become a part of a Fish Extender group and where was the outside deck located at pic# 416?

jenseib Posted April 6, 2013 Author #419 Share Posted April 6, 2013 After admiring the views from the decks outside of the Meridian, I headed back inside. Of course I shot a couple of pictures. A quick walk through Cabanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 6, 2013 Author #420 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The guy posed for me! I walked around snapping away some more. These stairs lead up to the AquaDuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 6, 2013 Author #421 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I need this guy to come clean at my house. He actually pulls things out and cleans behind them. Back to looking out at Castaway Cay. A look down to where I had just been. I just want to be there right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted April 6, 2013 Author #422 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looking down, one level is part of Cabanas outside seating and the other is Aft room balconies. The infamous Palm tree. Earlier when I had been on my balcony watching us dock, My Dad was next door watching as well. I pointed out that this was a fake palm tree that was really a tower for cell phones, etc. I really don’t think he believed me at first. I had to explain how it was so much bigger than the others and they just made it to look like a palm tree. And as you can see, up close, it doesn’t look real at all. While we were talking about this, I had looked down and there was our fellow Dis member JohnPA a deck below us. What a small world. It never dawned on me when looking at the fish extender list that his room was practically right below us. We waved at each other and my Dad was all curious as to why I was waving at strangers. LOL More pictures of my beloved island. I am sure someone in the family would be going down these slides later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
