Graduation Celebration: Day at Sea and Debarkation

Our final day aboard the Disney Dream was a day at Sea! Unfortunately this will be a rather short post! We spent our last day aboard the Dream relaxing. We spent some more time in the pool, tried our hand at BINGO one more time...and just spent time together!

This was probably the "busiest" cruise we've ever been on but even still, most days the pool was not overcrowded. Here is an empty view early one morning.

Graduation Celebration: Day 3 Castaway Cay

I've been waiting for weeks to share this with you all. If you've read my posts before you'll know that we aren't beach people...we don't like to sit around and well...relax! We like to be on the go!! So on cruises we take that stop in Castaway Cay we usually get off the ship, have lunch, wander around and then head back...looking for something to do! Well this trip was going to be a bit different!

Graduation Celebration: Nassau

Hello and we are back!! It's time to talk about our first full day aboard the Disney Dream!  Today was are docked in Nassau. Despite feeling the vibrations of the ship pulling in we did the unthinkable....we SLEPT IN!! I couldn't believe it...twice in one trip!!

After breakfast there wasn't much going on because we were docked in  Nassua. We opted to not get off the ship and just enjoy a relaxing day! Nassau offers some great excursions but since we opted for something special the next day in Castaway Cay, we were just going to lay low.

The guys had reservations to play up on the Goofy Sports Deck. They were signed up to play golf in the Virtual Sports Simulators. In advance we could only get my husband reservations but had no trouble getting them both in once we stopped the Port Adventures Desk.

We also had all signed up for a day pass at the Senses Spa Rainforest Room.  Erin and I had planned some girl only time and then we'd all head back later on.

Upon checking in we traded in our Key to the World card for our Rainforest Room wristbands.  We made a quick pit stop at the changing rooms. We already had on our swim suits but we dropped off some of our stuff, including shoes. Then we put on some robes and went across the hall.

After you first enter you are greeted with some flavored water

You have the options of purchasing the passes with or without the scrubs. We purchased WITH the scrubs and for each person the total is around $26.  Since there were four of us, we got one of each kind. Erin and I opted to wait until the guys joined us in the afternoon to use ours. That's the great thing about having a day pass...you have ALL day!

There are 3 saunas of very heat and humidity. We hung out in the dry sauna for a while. This one has a great view out the ship!

After the sauna we tried some of the showers. They have all have varying types of shower heads, temperature water and some even have a slight scent. They were all amazing...beware that some are COLD!

After that we went out to the hot tub. I wish I had brought my phone so you could have seen the AMAZING view we had of Nassau and Atlantis.

After a quick soak it was time to relax on the heated stone loungers.  It was SO relaxing (my neighbor...not Erin, even fell asleep!)

I can't say enough about this space. Especially for the price, it's an amazing experience! I prefer the spa's on board the Dream and Fantasy but you can also experience the Rainforest room on the Magic and Wonder.

After the spa we grabbed lunch and spent some time on the pool deck...where I napped! Honestly this vacation was so needed.  I NEVER nap in the middle of the day, and certainly not in a public place! It was wonderful to lay by the adult pool, have some drinks and just unwind!

Later that night we played some BINGO, watched Villians Tonight (not a favorite) and had a great dinner in the Enchanted Garden.

We didn't take too many photos since we spent most of the day lounging but here we are at BINGO!

After dinner we did one of my ALL time favorite things...and one I IMPLORE you to do as well. We got to see the awesome, only found on a Disney Cruise ship gameshow...MATCH YOUR MATE! Seriously...the funniest thing you will experience in a LONG time!

It was a great day and a relaxing one at that! Next up will be our day at Castaway Cay!!
