Day 8 - 8/27/03

A birthday on Castaway Cay

First # 27 An exertion on Castaway Cay

We woke up early and the Ship was docking at Castaway Cay. We went out on the verandah to watch for a bit. We dressed and head to Tritons for breakfast. I had a Denver omelet and Sue had her Scrambled eggs, we both had bacon. I think we both had tea to drink too. We then went down to deck 1 to disembark for a day at the beach. Our first stop was the post office to send out some post cards. We also sent one to our selves to use in our scrapbook, did you know they have their own post mark at Castaway Cay?
I had gotten up tickets for the first Glass bottom Boat trip. So we found where we were to check in there.

We took the tram over to the beach area to have a pit stop and to see if any characters were out greeting folks. There were none. So after the pit stop we went inside of She Sells Sea Shells….. and everything else to see what they had. We picked some things out we would pick up later on our way back to the Ship. We took the Tram back to the dock and checked in at the booth. We were told to have a seat and wait to be called. While sitting there I saw a baby crab walking along.

She Sells......


Finally we were call and we all stepped aboard the boat. I put my sea bands on and made sure my glasses were on tight. This trip is cool they take you out pass Serenity Beach and show you all kinds of fish and Coral formations. The guide even feeds some of the fish oatmeal to bring them to the top. He tells you about the rocks the form the barrier to the Family beach and it is actually coral. There is a net at an opening that keeps out predators. I recommend this tour I found it very informative and you can get some great pictures of the Island from the sea. They also stop if the weather permits so you can get pictures of the ship. I didn’t do this since I didn’t have my good camera with me.

I talked with the guide on the way back and he was on of the original tram drivers from when the Island opened. Oceanographers had come to the Island to teach them about the fish and animals around the Island. When we got back Sue was ready to sit in the water and chill. It is her day so back to the tram and a quick ride. Mickey and Minnie where coming out so I wanted pictures. Sue needed a pit stop. I got in line for Minnie first then Mickey. Then I made my pit stop. We meet back up and off to the beach.

First # 29 A manicure

After stuffing ourselves we headed back to the shop before entering we washed our feet. Pick up everything we wanted and made our way back to the ship. We had nail appointments. We get back on the Ship, up to the Cabin and shower change and start packing. Sue had to leave for her appointment it was earlier then mine. So I finish up what I was doing and head to the Internet Café to log on for a bit. The finial Bingo was at 7pm that night and they were selling them early.

So after a bit online I went up to Preludes and picked them up from Marty. He remembered me and asked if we were going to sit in our lucky seats. I said I hope so. I then had to head to the spa from my manicure. I had never had it done but I enjoyed every minuet of it. We were invited to a reception for Castaway Club members. So after our nails where done that’s were we headed. We got free drinks and there were things to nibble on. I had a Bahama Mama. The Captain made a speech and the Cruise Director also. That’s when I found out that the New Show would start the next night and we would not see it.

After the speeches we head for Dinner back to Parrot Cay. Our Table mates were not there yet but we let our severer know we had to be at Bingo at 7pm. They arrived and we ordered. I had steak and lasagna roll (Not very good) and Sue had Steak and fries. Our Head server brought out a cake for Sue and we all sang Happy Birthday to her. Now it was time for Bingo!!

We went down and our table was taken!!! We took the one in front and 2 girls came and joined us. They were quite annoying. Game after game past and not one bingo from Sue or I. The Jackpot comes and I’m get close but wait Nope 2 other yell bingo. I lost. So I volunteered to help verify the numbers. Hee Hee I got my pin this time. They did win the 2 shared a pot over $2000.

First # 30 Disney Dreams Show

Disney Dreams was the show for tonight so we headed there. This show was cancelled when we sailed on the Magic in 1998. We were looking forward to it. We arrived a bit late but a CM showed us to some seats. I love this show very cute. Peter Pan helps a girl to keep her dreams. So glad we finally got to see it. We still had to pack so after the show we went back to the Cabin to finish. Sue was tired and headed to bed she got the big bed tonight, after all it is her real birthday. I wanted to get my money’s worth and also to see Mars so I head down to the Internet Café. I send some E-Mails and go up to deck 10 to stare at Mars. I realize it’s getting late and we have to be at breakfast at 6:45, which means I have to get up at 5:30am to be ready. I can be slow. So off to bed with me.
