Disney Cruise

What can I tell you about Disney Cruise? The answers are AMAZING and OUTRAGEOUS FUN! It was worth life time memories.

On a very early morning, David and I had to wake up at 4:15 A.M. in order to take a shower before waking the boys up. We were astounded that the boys did not have any obligate to wake up at 5 A.M., getting dressed before the bus shuttle came. Dylan especially was all ready to get going because we knew he was extremely exciting to go on a cruise. Once the shuttle bus came and took us to the airport, we had a McDonald's for our mini breakfast in order to fill our stomach while the airplane only served us a drink-- no more T.V tray meals until we arrived to Denver airport. We grabbed our pizza before taking off to another airplane for Orlando, Florida.

A day after we arrived Florida, the reality came true-- going on a Disney Cruise with 25 of us (David's family.) There were 8 rooms in a row on the eighth floor especially reserved for David's family. It was really nice to greet each other in the morning, or before we hit for bed. We especially greeted each other at breakfast and dinner meals. At the meals, we have the same waitress and waiter at the same table. At the table, we also have two professional interpreters: Marvin and Tara. The best part was seeing every one dressing it up differently, especially on Pirate Night. Not only the best part seeing everyone dressing it up, my family and I enjoyed being served without needing to cook for an entire week. It felt like we lived in a mansion lifestyle.

After the meals, we had the interpreters interpreted for us at every single night at the play. They were incredible amazing interpreters. I have learned that they had been on the cruises more than ten times because they had several other deaf clients on the cruises. This gave them the advantages to practice the plays. The entire family were impressed with their awesome body and facial expression along with the play. Believe it or not, they are automatically part of our extended family members and became our friends on our Facebook.

The boys especially like to play with the computer at the Oceaneer Lab. It pleased us because it gave us some time to ourselves such as going out for a swim. Swimming was one of my favorite relaxing time. Of course, the boys had the chance to swim at the Mickey Mouse Pool and the slides. Next to the pool, there were junk and healthy fast food restaurants. The meals were included the fee.

While not being on the cruise, we visited three islands: St. Martin, St. Thomas and Castaway Island. Each of the islands was different. On St. Martin island, there were two completely different world: Dutch and French. On the Dutch part, there were really poor people trying so hard to renovate the building. On the French side, there were many sophisticated buildings. We visited the Butterfly Farm. It was HOT and HUMIDITY, but we were awed to see the huge size of butterflies in the green house.

On St. Thomas island, there were many beautiful views especially overseeing the clear blue water from the tram. On the top of the tram, there were parrot shows and stores. The boys and David did watch the show briefly while I was drooling for pairs of earrings. At the top of the tram, we greeted two families: The Grants and the Morgans. We all sat down for a drink in order to cool ourselves down, but none of us could not resist the beautiful views.

The last island was Castaway. In case you did not know, this island is owned by Disney. They did create many awesome activities: souvenir stores, food, beach sports, outdoor activities and BBQ meals. The boys enjoyed swimming the WARM lagoon beach. Both Dylan and David enjoyed lying on the lounge while Ryan found his new hobby: collecting the shells. He discovered a BIG shell in the water. Of course, we only could posted for a picture. While we were on the island, we had an interpreter interpreted "Feeding and Swimming with the Stingrays." Dylan and I were too chicken to feed the stingrays. I only was able to swim around withe stingray, but not Dylan. He was too afraid to have some one forgetting and taking out the stingray's poison. But we did not let this small part spoiled our fun, we walked back to to souvenir stores where David and Dylan collected the Disney pins.

On our last day of riding on a cruise, we met at the table for a breakfast. There were an International Show. It was a beautiful show, but it was hard to say good bye to the wonderful waiter and waitress, especially the two awesome interpreters. Still, these BEST memories on the Cruise would NOT erase our life time.
