SUNDAY MEMORIES
Judy Wills
Our stateroom was typical of most of the Disney ships…perhaps just a smidgen larger than the older ships. But it has all the amenities that the other ships has. Over the bed was a print of a scene from the movie Frozen.
Over the sleeper-sofa is a print from Frozen as well – Anna and Elsa.
There is always a TV in the room – and always with our stateroom number (6664) and our name on it.
We could watch TV movies, see where the ship is headed, the weather, the activities onboard, etc. A wealth of information at our fingertips.
The remainder of the room is much like all others – desk with built-in shelves and drawers, along with a small refrigerator.
Also the closet…two sides separated by shelves with a safe.
And the two separate “bathrooms” that we enjoy so much. One side with the tub/shower (this one had a glass door rather than a shower curtain! Yay) along with a sink, mirror, and glass shelves.
Separated by a wall is the other room – with the toilet, a sink, mirror, and glass shelves.
So easy for us both to get ready for the day with our own mirror and sink. One of the greatest aspects of Disney ships!
We had a room with a veranda, but the weather was cool/windy enough that we didn’t have opportunity to take advantage of the veranda. Shucks!
There are three main dining rooms/restaurants on each ship – excluding Palo and Remy, the high-end eateries that cost above the cost of the cruise. One interesting thing about the Disney restaurants – the servers “follow” those eating at their assigned tables from restaurant-to-restaurant each night. So you get to know your servers, and they get to know you and your eating habits. For instance, we had been assigned table number 119. We sat at table 119 in whatever restaurant we were assigned each night. We also had the same table mates at each restaurant.
Our first night, we were assigned to eat at Arendelle, table 119. Here is our table number in brass.
There is some of the “decorations” on that brass, that goes along with Frozen. It is the same as that flower embroidered on the napkin.
And here is the sign for Arendelle.
I think we sat “in the round” surrounding an elevated stage, for when we were eating, the performers were above us, and we were seated around the stage. Interesting.
The second night we were at a more “formal” restaurant – Roy Disney 1923. I neglected to get a picture of the sign for the restaurant, but here is a dinner plate and salt and pepper shakers with 1923 on them.
I tried to get a picture of our table number (119), but the lamp was not lit, so it’s difficult to see it.
Our third night was at World of Marvel restaurant.
Here is Fred holding up our table number.
Since neither Fred nor I have seen any of the Marvel movies, this “interactive” restaurant was a bit of a disappointment to us. Not the food nor the table mates nor the servers. But there really wasn’t much “interactive” going on – not like Animator’s Palate on the older ships. However, toward the end of the meal, Spiderman made his appearance – and the children loved it! He would go to the table where there were children and strike a pose with the children so their parents could take a picture. Cute.
The food is always good on a Disney ship…that’s something you can count on, and we always enjoy our meals.
