AHOY

Having my picture made with Captain Mickey was an exciting way to start the cruise.  We boarded the ship by 1:30, had lunch at Cabanas, which is a buffet.  Just a "few" of the offerings were ham, crab, shrimp fixed 4
different ways including a shrimp salad, salmon fillet with bacon wrap, lamp chops, and any type of salad or veggie you might want.  Carved road beef was also available, but I went straight for the "peel and eat" shrimp.

An emergency drill was a mandatory meeting with a "good time had by all." An official welcome from Mickey And Minnie on 11th deck was next on the agenda.  A short rest in the stateroom, and off to dinner at the "Enchanted Gardens" Restaurant.  We rotated from Enchanted Gardens on Friday,  to Royal Palace on Saturday, and last on Sunday night to Animator's Palate.. The staff and other couple at our table also rotated with us.


On Friday night, at the Enchanted Gardens Restaurant, I chose an appetizer, salad, and entree that all had mushrooms as a base.  (I guess         
I was in a "mushroomy" mood)  The appetizer had mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.  The salad had chopped mushrooms in with a few greens. The entree was a saute' mushroom dish with sun dried tomatoes, and a sauce with a smooth, creamy guacamole base.  (Outstanding)  Dessert was NOT made of mushrooms, but called Great Temptations - Three mini desserts that just melted in your mouth. The first one to the left is a strawberry creme with a chocolate on the top, middle one was a lemon cake with lemon filling and chocolate swirled topping; and a chocolate mousse with creme.  Again,  unbelievably  delicious. 

As I waddled out of the restaurant, trying to let my food digest, someone suggested we go to the ice cream parlor.  (I couldn't believe he said that.)

To top off the evening, there was a performance of Disney's signature ship show, THE GOLDEN MICKEYS.  We saw this in Hong Kong when we were there, so I knew what to expect-outstanding entertainment.  The premise is they are awarding "Golden Mickeys" (not Oscars) to special shows and/or movies that were made by Disney.  Each "candidate" performed their section of the movie being considered.  Cruella was her usual "self".  Beauty and the Beast were also part of the show. There was also Pocahontas, Tarzan, and many other characters and wonderful music.

Afterward off to our stateroom and let the ship sweetly rock me to sleep.  Totally Awesome day.  I am truly blessed.
