Disney Cruise - Day 1

Day 1 of our Disney Cruise was a ground transfer from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral where the cruise ship docks. We were on the Disney Dream for a 4 night cruise. The first day we also left port and headed to our first stop, Nassau (but Nassau is Day 2). We spent a lot of the time on board just exploring the ship.

Watching the TV show they had on- they showed some cartoons

Neil really liked Chip and Dale. We let him pick a stuffed animal and this is who he picked
(both of them - go figure, the most expensive stuffed animal because there were two).

Kids under 3 aren't allowed in the pools. This is the kid's area on the ship.

Neil slept through the bon voyage party.

Our stateroom - our bedroom

Our stateroom - the desk/couch and sliding glass door to the balcony.

Our stateroom was very nice- 7534 on the Disney Dream. We did get an upgrade compared to what we paid. I think it was a category 5C room. There are 4-7 with 4 being the highest and 7 being the lowest. I think the letter designation just says what deck you are on. Regardless, I was really happy with what we got. 4 was the only better one and I think those were just a little bit bigger. I loved the full verandah and the fact that it had plexiglass- you could see everything below. Plus we were over other decks, not the life boats.

And resting in my arms. You can see the plexiglass here and the water below (as well as my reflection)

Neil really liked his order of fish and peas. He loves to eat.
