THE DISNEY CRUISE!!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!! What can I say we have had the best 4 days, if anyone gets the chance to go on the Disney Cruise Line then GO. It is amazing!!!!!! We set off on Sunday to the Beach Club Resort where the coach picked us up, to take us to the Port. We were both very excited, really felt like a proper holiday. As we arrived at Port Canival we could see the Ship, think I was jumping around the coach like a little kid.

Disney had their own termial and we checked in and were give our Keys to the world, which means we dont have to have cash with us, charge everything to our account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! quite scarey when we got the bill at the end!!!!!!!!!!!

We boarded the ship into the lobby which was beauitful, they asked us our name and annouced it to the ship. "Please welcome the Lynes Family". We headed to our rooms where our luggage was waiting for us, no worries about dragging luggage all done for you. Lunch was being served on deck 9 so we checked that out, sooo much food all very yummy!!! After we walked round the rest of the ship, amazing amazing!!! Weather was beauitful too.

There were three pools, one for small children, then the family pool, then the adult pool with the spa, wow wow wow!! There was streams room, saunas, power showers, heated seats. So we made use of that!! My skin never felt better!!! We also treated ourselves to a couples massage, the pictures are later.

The rest of the ship was amazing, our staterooms were brill too, lots of room and was nice to sleep in a proper bed. Before we sailed we had to have a emergery drill, dont you love our lifejackets.

So its time to party DISNEY style, with the sail away party, on deck 9 we all got to together for lots of dancing and all the characters were there. Lots of fun and as we sailed out the ships horn sounded with the "wish upon a star" how disney!!! love it.

The weather was sooo lovely, good way to start the cruise.

Disney Cruise................

Our first night we reserve a table at the top resturant on ship Palo, which cost any extra $10 each, soooo worth it. The serves was great and the food was amazing, as you can see we had to take pictures. Every mouthful jus melted in your mouth. We had to dress up which was nice, the resturant was on the top deck, sooo romantic.

After we wondered around the ship and found the characters in the lobby so had to get lots of pictures. We found a real cool bar where you could play chess and backgammon while watching all the america sports and they even had nibbles layed out. Did they want me to turn into a little piglet!!!!!!

Every night our stateroom host got our rooms ready for us to go to bed, so pulled all the covers back and made a towel animal, sooo cool.

We arrived at Nassau, Bahamas on the Monday, we walked around the town for a bit, went to the straw market and it was crazy with bags and purses. I could have brought sooo much!! but I settled for a gucci purse, yummy. After we headed to the Atlantis hotel which is a huge resort with its own water park, beach, casino, and more and more. You cant get around much of it with out wrist bands so we headed back to the ship to spend the afteroon relaxing.

Worth seeing but very expensive resort, back on board we had lunch and sat out on deck by the pool and caught the sun!!!!

In the evening was the first of our rotation dinning were you eat in different resturants but you have the same server and you sit with the same people. We had two honeymoon couples one for the states and one from the UK. We ate in the Tritions the first night which was themed on the Little Mermaid. The food was out standing, Chris and I had 4 coures, main course being duckling, wow it was so yummy.

Disney Cruise......................

Tuesday morning we arrived at Castaway Cay, Disney own island. It was once a priate island used for smuggling, soo cool. The weather was amazing and have never seen water so clear. Different world. We even meet Jack Sparrow and had our picture with him and Mickey. We headed to the adult beach it was soo quiet.

So perfect the sand, the sea, the weather. I fell asleep in a hamket, snorning away!!!!

We jus chilled out all day and had a few drinks at the bar and we got chatting to the bartender he was from Aus, made me some cocktails and told us the cool things to do when we go travelling. We had a brilliant day, we walked back and brought a few things in the shop. The family beach was packed in kids, sooo many. But all day we wouldnt have own they were on the island.
Back on board the pirate theme was continued with a Pirate night, we dressed up a bit, very funny. We went to the Golden Mickey which was being performed at in the threate it was amazing, felt like you were watching something on boardway, could believe you were on a cruise ship. Tingles all over.

After we headed to the resturant for a yummy dinner, I felt soo stuffed after couldnt move but we all headed up to deck 9 for the pirate party where there was more food served!!! Just could eat anymore!!!!!! Pirate party was good, bit of fightning between Captain hook, but Mickey saves the day, then DISNEY style, there were fireworks off the ship. Which is the only ship in the world that is allowed to do it. Get another good night.

Disney Cruise...............

So the last day was our day at sea, and in the morning we had booked our spa treatment for 8am, nice and early good way to start the day. We had this villa that looked over the ocean, we were speakless. We had a foot soak then we had time in the hot tub, jus Chris and I, so lovely. After we had our treatments, Chris had a full body massage with hot stones and I had a wrap with a half body hot stones. It was amazing, we both had our massages in the same room, so relaxing. Then to finish off we sat outside and we were served green tea with fresh fruit. What can I say WOW WOW!! We felt very lucky. Cost alot but sooo worth every penny. Our consultants even gave us a magical moment cerifiate, as they thought we were a really sweet couple. AWWWWW.

The rest of the day we relaxed by the pool and soaked up the sun. Played cards with our waterproof cards soo cool. Beat Chris at Black Jack, hehe

In the evening we ate at Aminators Plaite so cool, when you sit down all the walls at black and white and as the evening goes the walls start to come to life with colour. Four days have been amazing, we have been spoilt and eaten soooo much. We have enjoyed every minute.

This morning we had to get up at 5am to be a emiation for 6am to get our passorts checked, we watched the sun come up. As you can see from Chris's face we didnt want to leave. Every part was amazing all the shows the resturants the weather, sooo nice to be pampered!!!!!!!

Cocoa Beach

One thing we wanted to do out here was surfing, so we rented a car and were lucky to get a convertiable for the two days. So with the roof down and the wind in our hair we drove to Cocoa beach on the east coast of Florida.

We booked a surf lesson with Ron Johns, we got there a bit early and did a bit of shopping in the Ron Johns shop, could have brought the whole shops and more!!!! Our lesson was for an hour, the sea was pretty rough and we were give safety lessons on rip tides, but I felt safe as we had our instrustor with us. We headed down to the beach carrying our surf beach. (oh we looked soo cool). We got battered by the waves after an hour, but it was brilliant. I stood up the board and Chris even caught a wave all by himself. We both have the bug now.

We stayed the night in Cocoa and headed to the beach the next day we brought a body board and spent the day on the beach soaking up the sun. The waves were still rough, but we managed to catch some waves body boarding. Weather was amazing too, tan is coming along nicely. Now we can go surfing down in cornwall when we get back!

Hurriance season has started yesterday, by the afternoon the heavens opened and it didnt stop raining all night. Not brilliant today either!!!!! Hopefully we will get some good thunderstorms.

Wekiwa Springs

Chris and I managed to get the same days off and we rented a car and visited Wekiwa Springs State Park which is about 40mins away. It was a beauitful day, we first hired two kayaks and spent two hours exploring the rivers. It was amazing, to get right in to the heart of Florida. It was so pretty, so much wildlife so close to you.

Loads of turles and we even saw an alligator!!!! It was soooo close.

It was soo peaceful and relaxing, at some points the river was really narrow and we had to get between the tree that had fallen in to the river.

Wekiwa Springs.....

Also well as the rivers there is a natural spring that you can go swimming in, very refreshing.

We chilled out on the hill enjoyed the sun, for lunch we had a bbq with yummy steaks.

Boys and their fire!!!!!! hehe

Such a beautiful place great way to spend the day, soaking up nature.
