Ahhh… finally a day we could sleep in. Got a few extra hours but then Ann headed on the free shuttle bus from the industrial port area to the old city/port in search of contact lens solution. Finally found some for about 3x the US price. But, you gotta have it!!! Jamie stayed on the ship in the Oceaneer Club while we did an adults-only excursion in the afternoon – Castellet and wine tasting. This was a good, low-key tour. Castellet is yet another hilltop village with interesting narrow pedestrian streets and nice shopping. The winery was Domaine de Souviou (Bandol wines).
After dinner, we did the Disney Dreams show – it’s an updated version of the show from the Panama cruise – the premise is a girl who needs to learn to “believe” in her dreams, and it weaves in musical numbers from various Disney movies. Really an excellent show!
Then later in the evening was the much-anticipated Pirates of the Caribbean deck party with fireworks and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a positive energy and a festive spirit on the ship for this event – the ship’s store was going crazy selling pirate costumes and accessories. We brought some of our own pirate gear from home, plus they had pirate bandanas for us at the dinner table. Jamie and Eddie finally started interacting this evening, with sword fights at the table and lots of pirate talking and “growling.” Everyone got into the spirit, with Dad and Nan in pirate hats with Goofy ears! The new big screen over the Goofy Pool really helped keep everyone more involved with the dancing and activities – especially those up on Deck 10, above the main dance area. The party finishes up with pirate Mickey flying over the deck on a zip line to rescue everyone from Captain Hook – it’s really a fun stunt! And the new grand finale (versus our Panama cruise) was fireworks launched from the ship!!!
