We docked in Civitavecchia early in the morning, as probably not many people have heard of this place it is also known as the Rome port. But since Rome is still roughly a 2 hours drive away we did not leave the ship as all excursions take a full day.

So what did we do? We had a really lazy start. While Danielle took a shower Emily and I went to Cabanas where we ate breakfast in our PJs outside ok the deck. Yes, outside the weather is getting better. Today it was close to 20 degrees Celsius and overcast, a whole lot better as the rain from Naples.

After we were done eating we explored deck 9 and 10 before we walked back and played room service by delivering mama her breakfast.

After a shower for me and a bath for Emily we went to watch the last part of Cars at Funnel Vision while Danielle and I enjoyed a Salted Caramel Coconut Latte.

Next stop was the kids club, we learned how to draw a Mickey Mouse at Pixie Hollow. But Emily was just too tired to hang around and got the choice Oceaneers Lab or back to bed.

She decided to go back to bed. I joined her in the room. Danielle want to the Buena Vista Theatre to watch Aladdin the love action movie. And I might or might not have taken a nap myself before I ordered room service for lunch while watching the first half of Jurassic Parc: Fallen Kingdom.

After the movie was done, Emily was woke up too. She finished her Chocolate Chip cookies in bed before we went to Deck 9 for lunch for mama. We also tried a Disney Cruise Line Style Dole Whip but this was rather disappointing.

The weather was still great but we wanted to participate in some activities inside. After a long debate we brought Emily to the Oceaneers Club, she played in Pixie Hollow with an iPad and according the staff she also did some arts & crafts but Emily denied that ever happened.

While Emily was playing Danielle and I joined the Disney Trivia game in the Promenade Lounge! We missed question 1 as we were late but we still won, I would have never believed we would ever win one as there is always a couple US specific question related to the 80s and early 90s about Disney Channel which we just don’t know the answer to. But this time apparently no one knew.

After the Medal Ceremony, ok we almost got them thrown at us, we went upstairs to pick up Emily to get back to our room and get dressed as pirates. For the very first time we decided to be really part of pirate night, a themed evening which happens on the ship one time per cruise.

We rushed to the first character spot which started at 4:15pm with Goofy. Emily was having a blast, they were both on the ground looking through her autograph book.

After Goofy we were in mince for Captain Hook & Mr. Smee. That meet almost went wrong, Emily called Mr. Smee Captain Smee which Captain Hook didn’t like and that ended up in a very heated discussion. But Emily showed Hook her necklace which distracted him from almost strangling Smee. But know he wanted to take necklace from Emily, but this was not possible as it was to tiny for him and he was to big for it according to Emily. All in all a couple hilarious minutes.

Next up where Minnie Mouse, Chip & Dale. While I waited in line for Captain Jack Sparrow, Danielle and Emily saw Mickey Mouse. And Stitch was roaming through the ship already.

Today we had the international themed dinner in Animators Palat. Danielle went for the Spring roll with jumbo shrimp as appetizer while I had a Argentinian Empanada.

As a main Danielle had the Shrimp Curry and I went for the English Cod. For dessert I had the raspberry Creme brûlée and I forgot what Danielle had.

The last thing we did before we want back to our room was taking a picture with Stitch and taking some back drop pictures. Emily loves the posing for these and listens better to the photographers as the adults in our group do.

In our room we sat on our beautiful Navigator’s Verandah while watching the ship leaving the port of Naples.

After Emily was in her bed I watched the last part of Jurassic Parc and some Mickey Mouse shorts before we slept in.
