Day 3...Our 2nd day at Sea

Day 3 was not quite as lazy as day 2 but we were going to enjoy our relaxation time before we hit the ports in the coming 3 days.  We decided to order room service for breakfast so we didn't have to take the 3 kids to breakfast in a timely manner.  I ordered it on the card that you put on the door the night before.  I selected it be delivered between 8:00-8:30 and right at 8:00 there was a knock at the door.  The coffee was still hot and that was quite enjoyable.  The kids really got a kick out of it.  They thought it was so cool that the nice man brought them donuts and fruit to their room.  We let them eat, did some homework and journal writing as this was our first day of missing school and then got ready for the Princess Gathering. 

We decided to head up to the Lobby Atrium around 11:15 since we had nothing else going on.  We were the first ones there and started the line.  I don't think anyone else showed up until around 11:30.  By 11:45 the line was very, very long and I was glad that we got there early. At 12:00 all the princesses came down the grand staircase and took their places.  Xoey was so excited and got to take pictures with each princess.  It was a bit rushed as they didn't want each family spending lots of time with each princess, but that was understandable as there were many little princess's that were patiently waiting to meet the big princess's.

After the meet we headed outside to take a look at the coast.  The captain came in a bit closer to the coast to try to look for whales.  We were able to see one, but didn't catch it on film.  We saw many dolphins and the coast looked beautiful.  It was sunny but with the breeze it made it a bit chilly.  Either way, it was a beautiful day outside.

We headed to the buffet to get some lunch for the kids and then dropped them off at the kid's club as we had our PALO tea reservation at 3:00pm.  PALO was beautiful and they were enforcing their dress code.  Many people showed up in jeans and a collared shirt and were asked to go change.  We happened to be those people, so quickly headed down to change and came back up.  The menu had plenty of tea's to choose from and the finger sandwich's were good as well as the tasty sweets they followed it up with.  The view from the restaurant was amazing and the service was top notch.  We had Cornelia and Judy as our servers and they were very fun to talk to and hear their experiences.  Cornelia was on her 5th contract which is 6 months on and 2 months off and Judy said she had been on the Wonder for 12 years.  Both seemed to speak highly of Disney as a company and both agreed they would not be going anywhere anytime soon.

We tried not to eat too much at the tea as our dinner was at 5:45pm.  We picked the kids up from the club and decided to walk around the ship to burn some calories and try to work up an appetite.

Dinner was tasty and Roland was especially excited at he got to eat his escargot.  Xoey tried her first bite and actually wanted more!!  She must take after Roland.  We tried to expose the kids to lots of new foods but she was the only one willing to try them most of the time unless bribery was involved..

After dinner we headed to the show.  It was a comedian and they kids enjoyed it.  Xander was once again chosen to participate in the show and got to hit the comedian with a pool noodle as he ran by.  Xayne once again was unhappy that he did not get picked.  I felt sorry for him.

After the show we headed back to our cabins and found our towel animal of the night except this time they were hanging!!!

Up next....Day 4, Puerta Vallarta
