Spiritually disembark at Port Canaveral 9:00am.

Having beach chairs surrounded by palm trees on Disney’s private island was heavenly.

Yesterday was perfectly relaxing.

Spiritually at Disney’s Castaway Cay 8:30am – 4:45pm.

Every day begins with an opportunity to catch dawn turning to day.

Being conscious of this daily rhythm and both appreciating it and enjoying it is smile-worthy.

It’s like Church, but different.

Different only in style, not content.

Spiritually at Sea all day again, continuing NE to Disney Island

Disney Cruise
Out for a Family walk again yesterday, noticing the use of “please”.

 

Disney Cruise
Such a small, seemingly insignificant sign.

 

Disney Cruise
Not even remotely inviting for Guests to use in error.

 

Disney Cruise
The subtle(and prolific) use of corporate icons is missed by most people, including Cast/Crew Members.

 

Disney Cruise
Operationalizing the culture, one icon and one location at a time.

 

Spiritually at Sea all day again today, continuing NE to Disney Island.

Yesterday’s Western Caribbean sun was hot midday so we retreated inside for lunch at “Cabanas”, the Deck 11 breakfast and lunch buffet.

An after-lunch nap and then a late afternoon walk was un-rushed and healthy.

The use of the word “please” on signage made me smile. As did the use of the circles on the touchpad screen.

Pretty bold claim. It was nice – but not impressed.

When you’re inebriated, this is a cool shirt. Since i wasn’t, i simply grinned thinking about how i would have totally bought it for myself back in the day who would buy it.

Disney Cruise Line attention to details – bottom to top…the small tender boat you use to go ashore/return to ship, water, ship.

 

Spiritually at Sea all day, heading East.

Yesterday morning we took a tender to shore and walked a mile along the (Western end) north shore and then returned.

Had to take a look at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville.

Our large ship was one of four visiting yesterday.

Overheard seasoned cruisers sharing their distaste for the crowds.

A nice place to visit, we wouldn’t want to live there.

Island fever is a real thing.

It was impossible to not compare our ship with the others.
