Today we, along with Andrea’s mom, returned from a 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy celebrating Andrea’s birthday.

Our ports of call were Tortola, St Thomas and Castaway Cay.

We stayed in stateroom # 8130 (Cat 04B – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah) located on Deck 8 aft on the port side.

Our stateroom host was Leovy Acab Diola. Our dining team included Oscar Perez Cubas from Peru (head server), Lazar Pavlovic from Serbia (server), and Roy Yotomaruangi from Indonesia (asst server). Our cruise director was Trent. Chrissy from Trinidad & Tobago was our server when we visited Palo for brunch.

While at Castaway Cay, Andrea bought Joe a Bahamas Coin & Bill Collection, which included a fifty-cent bill that she thought was cool.

On the ship, Andrea talked Joe into buying a book titled “Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse – The Ultimate History”.

On St Thomas the four of us visited Coral World Ocean Park.

One of the entertainers was magician Eric Jones that appeared on America‘s Got Talent, Masters of Illusion, and Penn and Teller’s Fool Us.

Andrea and Lizzy went to karaoke and Lizzy sung Carrie Underwood‘s “Before He Cheats“.

The end of our 19th Disney cruise (Magic: 2, Wonder: 5, Dream: 5, Fantasy: 6, Wish: 1) marked our 118th night that we have spent on these beautiful ships.

Today we, along with Andrea’s parents, returned from a 4-night Bahamian cruise aboard the new Disney Wish.

This cruise was in celebration of Lizzy’s 18th birthday. She wanted to sail on the newest Disney ship, and wanted to dine in the special Palo restaurant on her birthday, and we were able to make both of those happen.

Our ports of call were Nassau and Castaway Cay.

We stayed in stateroom # 12028 (Cat 03A – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah) located on – get this – concierge Deck 12 forward on the port side. Andrea’s parents stayed in stateroom # 6026.

Our stateroom hosts were Nortel Murray and Jasper Enriquez De Guzman. Our dining team included Cindy Jermaine Joseph McKenzie (head server), Darrilyn Sharon Erasmus (server), and Reza Permadi (asst server). Reza had previously injured himself, so Ted got to help us as well.

We had brunch in Palo Steakhouse, with Mario from Serbia as our server.

While at Nassau, Lizzy and I sailed on a catamaran to do reef snorkeling. Grammy sailed with us, but decided to enjoy the view from the catamaran.

When we visited Castaway Cay, the five of us participated in the Stingray Adventure, where you get to feel some of them and then snorkel in their area. We then got to go over to cabana #20, another first for us as usually the cabanas are booked. An advantage for concierge cruisers.

The end of our 18th Disney cruise (Magic: 2, Wonder: 5, Dream: 5, Fantasy: 5, Wish: 1) marked our 111th night that we have spent on these beautiful ships.
