Tour of the Boat and info

For memories sake here is a tour of the boat!  I took a few of the pictures myself, but most were found on the Internet.  I will also give information that will help to understand the posts that I make from the trip.
The ship has 10 levels, with the ninth and tenth levels being outside or partially covered.
Mickey Mouse pool and slide, for all kids that are potty trained!
A splash pad for babies not potty trained!
The goofy pool, a deeper pool with hot tubs!
The Cove, an adult only pool area.

I love my little guy!!!
(Notice the id bracelet he has on)
The ID bracelet is a tracker that the kids had to wear the whole trip. They needed them to be able to check into the kids clubs or labs.  It gives all their information when they are scanned like name, age, etc.  Also when they are being picked up from the clubs their tracker's show the leaders exactly where in the room they are or if they are in a different room.  They also require you to give a code word to be able to check your child out.  Because of Bryson's age he had the choice of going to the Oceaneer club or the lab!  These clubs were free, ran from early in the morning to late at night, and they fed the kids also.  There was no charge for these clubs and if they wanted to leave they just had to tell a leader and they would text us a message to notify us.




For Kendyl's age she was to go to the Flounder's Nursery!    The nursery will feed them whatever you provide, give them their naps etc. This service was not free and charged by the hour, but Kendyl did have a good time the day she was in there!


Each state room is given two wave phones.  These are like cell phones and you can call other wave phones by using their cabin number as the phone number and you can send and receive texts.  This is also how we were notified if Bryson or any of the kids wanted to get picked up from the clubs.
We are given navigators each day that shows what is going on as far as entertainment on the ship for each hour of the day.  They also categorize it by things your kids can do depending on their age, things you can do as a family and things that are for adults only!
There are plenty of things to do such as watching free movies at the Buena Vista Theatre!


There are Broadway style shows each night in the Walt Disney Theatre as well!

There are also plenty of lounges and clubs for the many activities such as Bingo, hypnotists, magicians, dancing etc.


All the food on the ship is free (comes in the price of the cruise)! You can order as much of anything you would like.  Drinks are also free except for alcoholic or specialty drinks.  Room service is also free for the exception of the tips. There are three restaurants we eat at which are rotated each night. We end up eating at each restaurant twice by the end of the cruise. We are pre-assigned our rotation of restaurants and tables at each restaurant so that our servers can be ready to greet us and have our table set with our desired seating and drinks.  They are awesome servers and they quickly learn everything about you, from what you like to drink to what you would like as a dessert!
The three restaurants are: Tritans


Animators Palate!

Parrot Cay!



There are plenty of other places to eat during the day for free as well, they just don't have your personal servers there. Here are a few of them.

This one was Bryson's favorite!

That is the tour and facts of the ship in a nut shell!
