here you go.

Deck 11 - one of my favourite hangout place |
Yes, I was on a vacation when you're reading this. Arrived in USA three weeks ago and I was on an amazing one-week cruise in The States. In fact, it was my first cruise too. Disney Cruise Line is voted as one of the
BEST CRUISE LINE in 2013! There are more photos coming your way but in order to make it a short post, I compiled it to few blog posts. So, all set?
And yep. The night before, as I mentioned in the first post, I had a wonderful room host. After the "Welcome Aboard" show which held in the Walt Disney Theatre, I went back to the room to check out my luggage. It's delightful when I see a wonderful towel-origami art.

I don't know what exactly is this, assumed it was a frog? |
The magazine placed next to the art is a 'navigator'. It's the second most convenient after the iphone app. Featured shows, weather forecast and etc are stated out accordingly. We'll get the magazine every night as they changed it at a daily basis.

Milk chocolate! |
My baggage were left in London Heathrow Airport, remember? I bought a kid's The Little Mermaid T, a size-7 crocs and a long sleeves shirt from the Mickey shop onboard. Can you believe that all these cost us about 200 dollar? I was in a semiconscious state for awhile at the counter but I'm desperately need them, I need the crocs and a clean shirt.
On the second day, I woke up at 4am without the help of wake-up call and the noisy phone alarm. My eyes just opened automatically,
#truestory. Took a sip of hot chocolate from the 24/7 beverages bar located at the Deck 11 and I was prepared with my camera and tripod at Deck 12 by 4.45am.
The boyfriend woke up after that. He then found me at the Deck 12. Sorry I wasn't aware that the phone is vibrating in my pocket. About the phone, yeah. We were given a pair of mobile phone which we can call each other when we're onboard. The ship is huge and everyone is possible to get lost, even an adult. You can locate your partner by ringing the phone, as easy as playing Fruit Ninja.
Catch the first glimpse of sunrise. It was so surreal as the sky and the sun aren't real. It was like I'm acting in Armageddon, the rays hurt my eyes.
Deck 12 is for adults only. We were required to show our ID when we utilised the facilities because we look slightly young to them and they aren't sure about our age. I was required to show ID when I ordered a Vodka too, lol.
I spent quite a long time here lying on the poolside bed reading books or taking an afternoon nap. There were no crying toddlers and screaming kids. Attentive host/hostess will walk around to check if you need anything or to place an order, perfect service.
These glass windows are too block the strong wind. This adult-only lounge is located above the control room at the front part of the ship, the wind are incredibly strong and I can't walk steadily, as if I'm going to fly away in a second if I don't hold on a metal bar or a bigger person.
And when I say a bigger person, I mean him. While he was sipping on a hot coffee, I had a great time capturing this beautiful scene of him-holding-a-cup-and-a-magneficent-background-view :)
Time to get ready for breakfast!
Before that, I need to transfer all the photos before heading to the dining hall. The private verandah is a preferable place for some private time for your own, I spent time here when the toilet or bathroom is vacant, lol. I always let the verandah door open at night before I sleep, love the sea breeze.

Welcome to Enchanted Garden |
The Cabanas, Royal Court, Enchanted Garden.. The choice is yours. We chose Enchanted Garden for the morning. If you are keen to try all of them, you can actually visit all in the same morning during the breakfast time. But hold your horses, we have at least 7 mornings to take our time to try it one-by-one.
It serves breakfast buffet!
Besides all these, you also can request for special made omelette. I've order fruit juices and onion-only omelette. My favourites are smoked salmon, bacon, tropical fruits, Mickey waffle, turkey slices, and orange juice!

Belle, give me your Beast. |
|
With Princess Tiana. |
It irritates me actually when the Chinese couple flipped out their phones too after seeing me take selfie shot with the characters. '
When I don't do you don't know, now I do you follow' pissed off. Anyways, I burst into a laughter when one of the princesses refused to take a
selfie shot with them. Luckily to me that none of the characters refused to take one with me, talk about my
flashie-smile, lol.

Kid's all time favourite! |
Second day is "On The Sea" day. I had complimentary snacks, ice cream and beverages all day. The boyfriend went for a swim in the adult area while I soaked myself into the spa pool. The water is warm and I love it so much! I avoid the kid's pool at all cost because the pool is fully occupied! I thought I can soak into the pool watching cartoons but apparently it is not a good time to do that, I might be try to visit the pool again at night to catch the cartoons.
Well, signing off for tea time, see you guys later!
