Days at Sea

If you were to ask any of us what our favorite part of the trip was, you would get the same answer. The boat. It was big  huge. It had a park, a promenade, a boardwalk,  2 rock climbing walls, and 25 dining choices, which include cafes, buffets, pizza, Johnny Rockets, and nicer restaurants, like Giovanni's Table, Chop's Grille, and 150 Central Park.
Get ready for a picture overload!

 Central Park was a garden on the 8th deck of the boat. It had shops, such as Coach and Britto, and restaurants, like 150 Central Park, Park Cafe, Chop's Grille, and Giovanni's Table. Each restaurant was amazing, and the wine selection... ahh!

 The Royal Promenade was on Deck 5. Shopping, Pizza, Shopping, Cupcake Cupboard, Shopping! It was the "go-to" place for just about everything!

 The boys frequented the casino a few times, and then they were cut off. By me.

 The Boardwalk was awesome! Ice cream, Hotdogs, Carousel, face painting, Johnny Rockets, Aqua Theatre, Rita's Cantina, Rock Wall... fun, fun, fun!

I LOVED that Chicago was on the ship! How cool is that?? I had to d-r-a-g the boys to see it, but there was booze, so they weren't too upset about it! 

My favorite thing at night was getting back to the room and finding a cute little creature waiting on us! Our stateroom attendant was from the Philippines, and he was so cool! After I told him I loved the animals, he made an extra one for me the last night... Macho Man!

Thursday and Saturday, Zak and I caught the Syracuse games in the On-Air bar in the Promenade. Go CUSE!!!

 My puppy with his St. Patty's Day hat on!

 I took a cupcake decorating class, and I had SO. MUCH. FUN. My little puppy turned out to be the best in the class! I was so proud... and it was so good! :)

I think we found every bar on the boat... there are probably 12-15 of them! We really enjoyed the piano bar and sports bar. Matt actually danced with me one night... so fun!

We went to something every night on board. This was an adult scavenger hunt... but kids were allowed! Our cruise director, Ken Rush, hosted and it was fabulous and hilarious!

 Matt and Zak enjoyed several games of ping-pong while I was at the pool or in the shade reading my book! They also tried out the Flow-Rider and Wave-Rider. I got some good laughs!

 Dreamworks characters made several appearances throughout the week. My favorite was Shrek, of course!! We also saw Madagascar, Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda, and other characters!
I will probably do one more cruise post for our memories, but I promise this is the longest one!
