Arriving at the port to board the ship you have to go through a
registration process; but they try to make it as pleasant as
possible and we see the first Disney characters |
|
Welcome aboard |
Goofy tells Roger
he'll have fun |
Everyone received a key card for the
room & other ship activities |
|
And then finally --
we're sailing! |
On board we receive
a greeting card from Disney Cruise Lines in our cabin |
Personally signed
by our cabin host for the cruise; we don't have a photo of
Sunny, but she did something every day that made us smile |
|
If you don't want to leave the
stateroom for breakfast, here's the in room menu -- all included
in the price except for ... cocktails!? |

One thing the boys enjoyed was their
menu, which doubled as a picture to color on one side & a menu
(with puzzles) on the other. Here is a selection of the
drawings made by Roger & Rex. You can generally tell
Roger's efforts by the "intense coloring" featured on
some of these. The finishing is Usa's product |

On my cruise to PLACE, I forgot
to pack my THING, so when we got to the port, FRIEND took me to
PLACE to buy a new THING. |
While we were there, we saw FAMSU*,
I got so ADJECTIVE and started to VERB. Everyone thought I
was ADJECTIVE!
* We have no
idea what FAMSU means! |
When we got back to the ship, I
yelled FUNNY SAYING so everyone could hear because I was so
ADJECTIVE I EXPRESSION my cruise! |

There are lots of photos taken on the ship; they cost quite a
lot; ship photos were the biggest single expense we had
on the holiday |
