Adventuresome 50 by 50: The Wonder of "Disney's Wonder" ~ A 4-Day Cruise to the Bahamas

Ever since I was young and faithfully watched every episode of "Love Boat", I've wanted to go on a cruise. It has taken me until this past May 16th - 20th to overcome my uncertainties... mostly of... "Will I get seasick?" and "Won't I feel trapped and restless being confined to a ship? Thankfully the answer to both is a resounding NO! Now, I'm hooked and can't wait to go on another.

The Disney Wonder

A lot of people have asked me "Why Disney?"... simply put... "Because its the Best!"... or so I've been told. (My husband and I certainly think so.) "Isn't it for kids?"... while Disney excels at kids, there are plenty of adult only areas and late dinner seating times... we weren't bothered by kids at all. What we liked best was the family atmosphere instead of the party scene (there aren't any casinos aboard ship).

The most comfortable deck chairs ever - I could have easily fallen asleep.
As it was, we sat and chatted until the wee hours of the morning.

Definitely Romantic!

"Is it Romantic?"... sort of... parts of it definitely were... depends on what defines Romance for you... but we were already empty nesters, so that wasn't of high importance... I'd have to say that Disney definitely brings out the kid in you and we probably needed that more.

Disney's Extravagance.

The food aboard ship was absolutely amazing, especially the creme brule... to me that was worth the cost of the ticket alone! lol The evening shows were Broadway quality and the special effects spectacular! Our favourite evening was the Pirates of the Caribbean night. We came prepared with costumes. It was fun to dress up... haven't done that in a long time.

Arriving at port in Nassau, Bahamas

Relaxin while waiting for our Port Excursion to the Atlantis Resort.

We had two ports of call, Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay (Disney's private island) followed by a day at sea. Castaway Cay was especially beautiful and extremely hot that day... 100 degrees F!
