We woke up to some engine noise around 7am this morning but that was quite ok, Emily slept another half hour and when she woke up we decided to get breakfast at Royal Court. This is a table service breakfast restaurant on the ship.

Emily wanted to take “a wolk” so that came in handy. During breakfast she was a little bit annoyed but had fun feeding me. After breakfast we booked a placeholder for our next cruise, whenever that will be and we walked around the ship.

All of a sudden Emily wanted to go “naar bed” and thus we let her go to bed again for a morning nap. She must be exhausted from all the new things and meeting so many new friends.

While Emily was sleeping I went to Margaritaville to get a Red Stripe (Jamaican beer) and some free but very slow WiFi. Mama stayed in the room with our sleeping beauty and at 11am I got back to pick up my princesses for a Port adventure at the Good Hope Estate, one of the more famous buildings on the island.

At 11:45am we were expected in the D-Lounge, from there we went to the bus which took us to the Good Hope Estate. We expected a self guided excursion through the estate but it turned out to be a bit different, not bad but not what we had in mind while booking this excursion. The buffet was nice but very limited and the food was cold before we could start eating. Emily however liked the rice and ate a lot of it.

The way back was very unorganized as our tour group broke in multiple pieces, however everyone got back on the ship in time. We had a very adventurous ride back in a kind of a jungle bus from the Estate at 600 meter to the transportation area on sea level. There we needed to change to the bus which brought us back to Port. For extra special effect they drive on the left side of the road in Jamaica and we sat in a former Japanese bus!

As soon as Emily saw the boat she said “naar bed” again and thus we were happy that we got on board quickly, in no time she was a sleep. That’s when I went for a stroll through the ship checking out places I had not seen yet and in the end I got to meet Goofy, Donald, Captain Hook & Mr. Smee and Captain Jack Sparrow before it was time to go to the room again.

Emily woke up shortly before and so we were ready to go to dinner in the Enchanted Garden.

Dinner went by quickly and after dinner we went to deck 11 to see Mickey’s Pirates in the Caribbean show. The whole walk from the table through some shops Emily walked hand in hand with Elin. Elin was very entertaining as she was tap dancing through the hallways, Emily couldn’t stop laughing.

Upstairs we split up for a moment for restroom break, Emily bursted out in tears as Elin went somewhere else but soon Emily sat besides Elin on the pool deck watching the show. As far as we could see from the distance Emily loved it, she had a continuous smile on her face and Elin took got care of her trying to keep her sitting down, sometimes she was successful for a couple seconds.

After the show it was time to split up as Emily was booked for the nursery so she could sleep and we could enjoy the pirate night. It seemed to be huge success as we were able to spent the whole evening without any interruptions. First we went shopping, then we got a cocktail and pictures with Mickey Mouse in his pirate outfit.

Next came Minnie Mouse, both also in her Pirate outfit.

After that picture the line for Donald Duck was still open and thus we went for a picture with him. I needed to warn him as he was hugging Danielle very very long…

After Donald we stood in line for Stitch with his eye patch. And as we had our pictures taken we went upstairs and found us a nice spot on deck 11 for the Buccaneer Blast & Club Pirate Show with Captain Jack Sparrow and fireworks at Sea.

After this show we went to Cabanas to have a late night snack and soon it turned 10:50which was when we were picking up Emily from the nursery. Imagining that she would be sleeping like Aurora…but nothing of that she was playing with a shopping cart instead. But she slept quite a bit according to the councillors.

As soon as we started walking back she wanted to go “naar bed”, lucky for us, she fell a sleep almost right away.

Tonight we move back to EST and have a hour less sleep, lucky for us it’s a Sea day tomorrow and we can stay in bed as long as Emily lets us. Oh and as an additional bonus tomorrow there will be the movie premiere at sea…

At 7am I was awake and escaped to the verandah, here I enjoyed a breeze of wind and the sound of the sea before the others woke up. Today we’d be docking at Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands but we didn’t planned anything except for staying on the ship.

Nothing bad about that course, we started of with breakfast at Cabanas before we went to toddler playtime in Andy’s room. Closer to 10am we moved on the other section of the Oceaneers Club where there was a meet & greet with Thor from the Avengers. I wanted a picture with him for sure…

While I was waiting Emily was running around through the club and making drawings together with Mama in Pixie Hollow, an area themed with the Disney fairies in mind. We stayed after I got my picture with Thor to play Star Wars Simulator games where I got to fly X-Wings and other vehicles.

Soon it was time to meet Dr. Strange the next Avenger. After his show and picture we went to the pool deck on level 11.

Emily loved the splash pads and the shallow pool, on the Fantasy there a couple more possibilities as on the Dream too but only for potty trained kids. Lucky Emily!

We had a simple lunch at the pool deck from Cabanas and ice cream from Eye-Scream. And after lunch Emily got to go to the nursery, this time want to go either but quickly she was quiet and we got to enjoy ourselves in the adult area.

But before we went there, I got to ride the Aquaduck, a water slide/coaster with my GoPro. One time with Danielle and one time on my own. What a crazy slide and what a great view…

Next stop was the adult only area where we found ourselves cocktails and pastries which we enjoyed laying down in a lounge sofa/bed.

When we finished our cocktail we we went upstairs to enjoy the view over the island and towards other ships in port. One of the reasons we didn’t went off ship was the fact that we needed to use tender boats to get on shore, a one way trip would cost about 30-40 minutes and that wasn’t the time I wanted to spend waiting to get on shore.

At 3:45pm Goofy and his son Max where meeting guests and since we had never ever meet Max this was on our todo list. The meet was fun, although we missed our little princess.

After meeting them Danielle went back to our room for a shower and to get dressed for dinner, while I was waiting for a picture with Donald Duck!

And after that picture was taken I hurried upstairs to pickup Emily from the It’s a Small World nursery. She had some water, crackers and she slept for about 40 minutes. First thing she asked where is mama… But we had no time for questions we need to run, run, run really fast as Doc McStuffins was standing on the balcony on the 4th floor meeting people and checking out stuffed animals.

Emily loves running and walking down the stairs by herself so that was easy and we made it just in time. After getting water and cookies at the coffee bar we went one floor down to meet with Minnie Mouse. That’s also where mama joined us again, Emily couldn’t be any happier.

Next character to meet was Goofy, Emily isn’t afraid of him anymore and she even gave him kiss… Goofy was so surprised that he fell on the ground! Emily came running back to him giving him a really big hug and they both rolled over the floor again. Unfortunately there is no picture or movie from that but the smile on her face was huuuuge….

On the 3rd floor we heard from Joanna, Elin and Danny that there was no line up for Pluto in the Preludes. Emily walked over and gave him a kiss and a hug.

It was almost time to go to the restaurant but we saw Mickey standing on the balcony, we decided that it would be great to meet with him instead of being on time for dinner. And off course kisses and hugs again. Emily also liked his fancy shiny shoes.

Just a couple minutes late we made it to dinner in Animators Palate, tonight we got to draw something which ended up being animated on the screens in the restaurant at the end of the dinner. Emily was more interest in drawing on every piece of paper she could find and the Disney movies on the screens.

After dinner we decided to get one more picture with Stitch and that line-up was huge…but we made it. We thought Emily would be a bit scared from the real Stich but no she loved him! He even showed her to pick her nose and she instantly followed his example! Thank you Stitch!

After the picture we went straight to our room and along the the way Emily told everyone that was going “Naar bed” which means I’m going to bed.

In a record breaking time she was sleeping and I was on my way to the Walt Disney Theatre to see Disney’s Wishes a musical about three kids visiting Disneyland which make a wish and go on the ride of their lives along Disney classics.

After I got back I found a sleeping Emily and a sleeping Emily. I decided to write the blog and about halfway through I fell a sleep too… While I’m writing the remainder of yesterday’s blog the ship is docking in Falmouth, Jamaica. We are going of ship around lunch to visit the Good Hope Estate, I’m really curious what we’ll be doing there as we both forgot what we booked.
