Back onto the verandah to look around and see what all the busy people are doing. Us non-busy people have to be busy watching the busy people – it’s how it works.
Lounger in the shade,..…OK, we are set!!! Although we didn’t stay outside long as it was really hot.
We were watching the TV off and on as the Governor of Texas was supposed to be giving a press conference. He really didn’t give any more information than we had got already from the TV coverage, especially as what I was really looking for was for him to say “your brother’s house is OK and so is yours”, yeah, he didn’t do that.
We decided to go and watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie that was showing in the Buena Vista theatre at (I think) 2:30 pm. I had read that you could get popcorn free in the concierge lounge so we swung in there just after 2:00 pm and picked up a bag and some waters (we constantly picked up water – that was nice). She did ask us if we wanted more than one, I said no, bad move You can never have too much popcorn! There were about 4 other people in the movie theatre when we got there and two of them were the couple that were leaving with their popcorn from the lounge right as we were. It filled up fast though the closer it got to the start time and it was pretty full once the movie started. I need to watch it again to decide if I enjoyed it or not. I didn’t like the way they portrayed Captain Jack in this one…as I said, I’ll watch it again as it’s one of my favorite movie franchises of all time.
We got back up to our cabin right as cocktail hour was starting in the lounge, so we grabbed a drink and headed back to our verandah.
It was pretty warm and there wasn’t much in the shade so we had to maneuver chairs around to get where we could sit out of the sun but we enjoy the people watching of everyone coming back onboard. The Norwegian Sky left shortly after we sat down.
The music from Senor Frogs was going and we could hear it from our verandah, so it gave us some music to listen to while we sat out there. Our all aboard time was 5:15 pm but it was now 5:35 pm and they still had the gangway down.
We were slightly obsessed with trying to figure out who it was that they were waiting for, even though it was hot and we were in the sun we didn’t want to leave and miss it! Unfortunately, at 6:15 pm, this ambulance showed up and he was looking our way.
They took a young girl off on a stretcher, although she was cuddling a stuffed animal so I’m hoping that she was OK. About 4 family members got off with her along with their luggage. I felt so bad for them because we have had to do that before on a cruise with my family and I know how stressful it is. Hopefully everything worked out OK for them.
While we were out on the verandah, someone from the concierge team popped into our room and delivered this lithograph. I had read that everyone in concierge gets one, but I hadn’t seen what it looked like.
I decided that I was going to use that massive bathtub and I had come prepared! I had brought a bath bomb with me that I had got from Basin in the Grand Floridian several vacations ago with my Mum and sister. It took a long time to run though! I actually felt a bit bad for using all that water, which makes me chuckle because the British have a “thing” about wasting water which is silly as it’s never been a third world country!! “Waste not, want not.” I can hear it now!
So these Mickey bath bombs have cute dissolving mickey heads in them….I just love them. I think I have 1 left at home
I watched us sail away on the TV in the bathroom and Scott took photographs from the verandah. I was actually running out of time as we had a reservation at Remy at 7:30 pm and I didn’t get into the bath until 6:40 pm and I still needed to wash my hair, which required me to also take a shower. So it wasn’t as relaxing as I would have liked. Here’s some relaxing pictures for you though, you don’t have to rush to get ready, so take your time looking at them but imagine me running around like a crazy person after about 5 of them.
Scott got some good ones of the spit of land that the lighthouse is on. I always like to try and find one from our trip to get a print made to put on the wall and I think one of these will be it from this trip.
