Day 2 of our cruise was our first full day at sea. We started off with a 7:45 a.m. Dreamworks breakfast reservation. RCCL has a partnership with Dreamworks, so the characters are involved in the cruise experience with character breakfasts, parades, and picture opportunities. The only thing we purposefully included in our vacation plan was the breakfast. Eliza had never seen Shrek, Princess Fiona, or the other characters before--and she was not too sure when she "met" them!

That night was also the first formal night. Gary and I chose this night to celebrate his birthday (which was the next day, actually) with our own dinner and date night. Granna and Grandpa took Eliza to dinner in the main dining room and for a fun night! We stayed out much too late, and I ended up at the black jack table (?!), but we had a wonderful time together.

The next day was supposed to be an amazing beach day at Labadee, Haiti, a private beach owned by Royal Caribbean. We rented an over-the-water-cabana, which consisted of a structure with lounge couches, a ceiling fan, lounge chairs, and direct access to the ocean. Unfortunately, 50mph winds and rain caused the port-of-call to be cancelled. :( But, Mommy & Daddy needed the cancelled day to lay in bed all day (wonder why?!).
Day 3 was Gary's birthday, though! Happy 29th birthday, Gary! We celebrated at dinner.
I LOVE the last picture! Kyle and I are going on an RCCL cruise in June. We're so pumped (we've never cruised before). I was reading your blog for some pointers. :o)
