Day nine...

Ahh, sleeping in… nice to get up at around 9 instead of 6! Did our laundry, Dawn went to the Gym, Garhett & I watched Transformers, Ashley went to the pool with the rest of the group. Then we joined everyone at the pool for lunch, a quick game of Phase 10. Then watched an ice carver. We all went to the Artist Palate and took a class on how to draw Mickey. Then walked around the ship to check out the areas we hadn’t seen yet with Tim & Michelle then took family pictures with Dave Peeters (Michelle’s dad), which was quite interesting with a bunch of people trying to mess up Dave’s shots.

Before dinner we went to the movies and saw Enchanted. A very funny show with a lot of Disney “hidden” stuff in the movie!

Dinner at The Artist’s Palate, a 4.2 million dollar restaurant which entertains you as you eat. The room starts out black and white then throughout the evening fills in with color. Even your servers go from black and white clothing to full color clothing. Really nice! Dawn had, butter nut squash soup, smoked salmon/cream cheese appetizer, stuffed chicken breast and potato (orange colored), dessert – chocolate and peanut butter pie. I tried the Caesar salad, Creamed mushrooms in filo dough, veal cutlet and finished with a strawberry shortcake. The kids joined us tonight and we all dressed up. During dinner, the ship took off from Nassau and immediately after dinner we were treated to a Pirate Party, dessert buffet and fireworks. Disney is the only cruise ship which has a huge firework show at sea. Then off to bed as the ship sails to Disney’s private Island, Castaway Cay!

Goodnight!
