Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

Today was a sea day!

This morning we were able to sleep in a little bit. Then we went to brunch at Palo. Gagi, our server last night, was our server again. He’s so great!

Peach Bellini!
I love that when you order iced tea, they use ice cubes made from tea so your tea won’t get watered down!
CSP had a fabulous Italian Bloody Mary! With rosemary and a dried orange.

Our bread basket that we never touched! lol There was just too much food!

The best almond croissant ever!!! Plus some breakfast pastries.

CSP’s seafood appetizer.
My GIANT Mickey waffle! It had strawberries in the batter! Yum!
CSP’s zucchini frittata
CSP also had the celery soup
The pizza is so delicious! We got the goat cheese and sun dried tomato on one half and bleu cheese and grapes on the other half.
Mushroom ravioli with pine nuts
CSP enjoyed the red snapper
He also really enjoyed the lasagne with bechamel sauce
My favorite brunch menu item- the chicken parmesan on risotto!

Then it was time for dessert!

CSP had the limoncello torte. So pretty!

I had the panna cotta. It was topped with strawberry popping bubbles and a pistachio crumble, then a chocolate butterfly. Soooo yummy!!!

Everything was absolutely excellent and delicious! And the service is chef’s kiss. We were stuffed, and we didn’t come close to eating everything! Too bad they don’t have microwaves in our rooms, we’d have saved some for snacking later! We then waddled back to our room to change clothes and pack up a bit. I hate the last day of a cruise! It’s so sad! And we decided a 5 night cruise is just too short!

After we packed up a bit we went to get Mom of CSP a beer mug. Pro Tip: if you drink beer you can purchase a 24 oz beer mug for $15. Then your refills are charged at the 16 oz price. You don’t have to carry the mug around either because they give you a token to carry instead. CSP loves this deal! Then we went for one last walk through of the gift shop.

Next we went to the D Lounge for Animation: Learn how to draw Stitch. Stitch is my favorite character so I was v excited to learn how to draw him.

Note that I only have a golf pencil to work with. So be gentle with me!

My final product:

He looks a bit scary! But I couldn’t erase anything!

When we were finished with our class we were walking back to our room when we ran into Jasmine!

She’s so cute!

It’s so easy to get around a Disney ship! Informational signs at each elevator bank.
I love the Mickey hand on the arrow at the top of the elevators!

When we got back to our room we discovered that someone had left a prize in our room!

It’s a box of truffles! We don’t know where they came from, but we are thankful!

We went out to our big ol’ balcony to hang out for a while. CSP took a wee nap while I listened to my book and edited photos from our trip on my phone.

Eventually we got hungry and ordered room service snacky snacks. Room service is free on Disney cruises! You WILL pay for sodas & alcohol though. Be sure to bring some cash to tip your room service server. And PLEASE call room service when you’re finished to come pick up your tray! They do NOT want you to put it in the hallway!!!

After our snack we finished most of our packing then showered and dressed for our last dinner.

We saw Cinderella on our way to dinner

Tonight’s dinner was back in Royal Court. We were so not hungry! LOL. Between brunch and our room service snack we picked at our dinner. This did not please Sheldon, our server! He kept saying “You don’t like it? I’ll bring you something else!”

CSP had his favorite appetizer- escargot
I had the fried brie
CSP had the lobster pasta. Please forgive me, I forgot to take the picture before we started eating!
I chose the mushroom ravioli. Delicious!
We shared the creme brulee. So yummy!

We gave Sheldon and Darma their gratuity envelopes and Sheldon gave us a magnet from his home country of India. So sweet!!!

We went back to our room and discovered more pixie dust!

When we got back to our room we put our suitcases out in the hallway then went right to bed because we have a very early morning tomorrow!
