The sun made an appearance on our cruise departure date. We had about half a day to explore more of Barcelona so we did quite a bit of walking around the old city and walked its narrow little alleyways. It’s a great walking city and very pedestrian friendly. Eric has a new favorite animal. It’s called a pigeon! They’re all over the place and he loves to run after them and tries to get them to land on his hand (got some video of that!) Another highlight for the kids (and Mommy) was visiting Barcelona’s Chocolate Museum. There were incredible sculptures made entirely out of chocolate!
Your ticket to enter the museum was a chocolate bar. Heaven!
We boarded the Disney Magic in the afternoon. It’s very efficient and there were no lines to wait in which made us happy. We were excited to see our stateroom because Disney upgraded us to a Deluxe Stateroom with a Verandah. We entered the room and noticed there was a gift bag on the bed. Since we’ve cruised with Disney before they gave us a bag with a bunch of goodies in it. We love our verandah and it’s bigger than I thought it would be. There’s room enough for 2 chairs and a table and all 4 of us can comfortably be out there. It will be fun to enjoy the view when the ship pulls into the various ports. I’ve included a picture of us at our table on Formal Night. When I told Eric he had to dress nice because it was Formal Night he said, “I hope we don’t have to do this Formal Night thing again!”
The first day we are at Sea so it’s very relaxing and both the kids were just chomping at the bit to go into the kid’s areas. Sydney is now in Ocean Quest, which is the Tween’s hang out areas. She is given more independence and loves her newfound freedom. We were trying to walk her up to the Sports court but she was gone like the wind as she just can’t get enough of hanging out with kids her age. She has already made a new friend named, none other than, Sydney. Well at least it’s easy to remember the name. Eric is also really enjoying the Oceaneer Lab although it’s harder to extract information from him so we’re not sure what he’s been doing in there.
We’re looking forward to beginning our port adventures!
