    • Grandeur of the Seas, Windjammer and Deck Pictures

      Posted at 7:54 am by taryngirl, on August 23, 2018

      Continuing on with embarkation day…

      We headed straight up to the pool deck, deck 9, and went to the Windjammer for lunch.  It was about 11:45 a.m. at this point.  The Windjammer is the buffet restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  It has several different “stations.”  There’s a Kid’s Corner, Healthy Corner, Dessert area, Bread/Soup area, Beverage station (lemonade, mango water, iced tea, water, coffee, hot tea), and regular hot choices, salad bar, etc.  When we arrived it wasn’t full yet, but by the time we left, people were looking for tables!

      Here are some pictures of some of the food offerings during this lunch:

      2018-08-21 19.52.15

      2018-08-21 19.51.20

      2018-08-21 19.50.33

      And this is what I decided on!

      2018-08-21 19.49.05

      I wasn’t super hungry at this point, so I just nibbled on a few different things.  I personally LOVED the bolognese sauce and would eat this several more times throughout the cruise!

      After lunch, I walked around and took some pictures of decks 9 and 10.

      2018-08-21 20.01.04

      This is where we spent a majority of our time!  This is the Main Pool.  There are also 4 hot tubs all around the pool.

      This is the Solarium.  Also on the 9th deck, and exclusive for adults only.

      IMG_5316

      IMG_5317

      A hidden gem on this ship is the Park Cafe.  It’s located in the Solarium on deck 9, and offers some good eats!  Sandwiches, salads, nachos, cookies, etc. etc.  It’s a great place to grab a quick snack.  Just not the serving hours in the Cruise Compass!  Even though this is located in the “adult only” Solarium, children are permitted to go here to eat. 

      IMG_5318

      Not shown are a bunch of tables and chairs, where people will sit and play all kinds of games they bring onboard.  I even saw someone painting on a canvas!  It’s super quiet compared to the outside main pool area.  It’s also a little bit warmer and stuffier in my opinion, because there is no outside air coming in.  I did hear from someone that while in port, they did open the roof.

      Also located in the back of the Solarium is the spa.  I personally did not spend any time here on this cruise!

    • Grandeur of the Seas, Embarkation Day, Baltimore Cruise Maryland Terminal, Check In

      Posted at 9:28 pm by taryngirl, on August 21, 2018

      Our adventure began bright and early in the morning.  My husband was driving us and dropping us directly at the port.  It was about a two hour drive and our boarding time was anytime after 11 a.m.  I like to budget in time for traffic, accidents, etc. and I like to be EARLY!  So my goal was to be in the at 8:30 a.m.  SUCCESS!  We managed to fit 6 people and alllllll of our luggage and carry-on bags in my Sorento.

      IMG_5284

      The drive was very easy and we didn’t really hit any traffic.  We were to the port by 10:45 a.m.  I didn’t get any really good pictures of the Baltimore Port drop off area as we were very rushed!  Since we were being dropped off, we were in a line of cars, and the porters were waiting to take our luggage right away.  One note…porters generally do not work for the cruise line, but rather the port itself.  I always tip them $1 per bag that I’m checking with them.  They load the bags on carts that are driven to the ship.  They are then delivered to your stateroom sometime throughout the afternoon.

      Once our luggage was taken care of, we took our carry-ons with us into the terminal.  What do I pack in my carry-on for a cruise?  Normally, a bathing suit, deodorant, prescription meds, passport, wallet, ID, any valuables and electronics.  We then got into the security line.  This is where they check your ID and booking information.  The carry-ons do go through a scanner.  We were able to bring a 12 pack of bottled water with no problems at this specific port.  After security, we headed to the cruise check-in line.

      Here are a few pics from inside the terminal.

      At the counter, they gave us our first CRUISE COMPASS!  This had all of the general information we needed for our boarding day.

      2018-08-21 19.18.36

       

       

      We also received a paper with all of the Officers onboard and other useful information.

    • Royal Caribbean Cruise Line—Grandeur of the Seas

      Posted at 8:08 pm by taryngirl, on August 6, 2018

      Every summer, my children and I take a vacation with my mother. The past few years it’s been to the Jersey Shore. However, this year we had a special guest…my aunt from Australia! So we decided on something different. A New England/Canada cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Grandeur of the Seas. One deciding factor was the ability to drive to the port vs. having to pay for flights. And RC was having an amazing sale at the time I was looking!

      The itinerary:

      • Baltimore
      • At Sea
      • Boston
      • Portland, Maine
      • Bar Harbor, Maine
      • Saint John, New Brunswick
      • Halifax, Nova Scotia
      • At Sea
      • At Sea
      • Baltimore

      This was also appealing because I have never been to any of these ports! We always go south to the Caribbean.

      After booking, I kept a close eye every time Royal Caribbean would run a special promotion. One benefit of using a Travel Agent…they can check for discounts automatically when they are released! No need to have to do it yourself.

      Up Next…Day 1–Royal Caribbean Cruise on the Grandeur

    • March Disney World AEP Trip {Day 5}! Part 2–Satu’li Canteen and Mobile Ordering

      Posted at 7:57 pm by taryngirl, on August 1, 2018

      DID YOU KNOW…that for some Quick Service restaurants throughout Walt Disney World, you can order ahead?  This fantastic service is called MOBILE FOOD AND BEVERAGE ORDERING!  (You can read all about it directly through that link that takes you to Disney’s official page.)

      Basically, instead of waiting in line, you can go onto your My Disney Experience App,

      This is the menu shown outside of the restaurant:

      IMG_2338

      The restaurant itself does have both indoor and outdoor seating.  One note, there are signs on the tables stating you must be a patron of the restaurant in order to use the tables.  So don’t plan on getting a table and sitting there while you wait for the rest of your party who is riding Flight of Passage.

      We stood outside the restaurant and used the My Disney Experience App to order our food. We walked in immediately.  When entering, just look for the separate Mobile Order Pick Up window.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT IN THE REGULAR LINE!  There was only one person in front of us in this line.

      IMG_0600

      If you didn’t order ahead, this is what the line looked like:

      IMG_0599

      What you can’t see is that the line snaked and then went out into the foyer area of the restaurant.  SO WORTH ORDERING AHEAD!  You can save so much time.

      Confession time…I was skeptical.  I always have modifications, no this, extra this, etc. etc.  You can still modify with the app! 

      Now to the good stuff…the delicious food!  I ordered the Chopped Wood-Grilled Chicken Bowl with Rice and Creamy Herb Dressing and NO Boba Balls!  This is also served with Crunchy Vegetable Slaw.  I also asked for all three sauces on the side when I got up to the window.  The other two sauces are the Black Bean Vinaigrette, and the Charred Onion Chimichurri.  I mixed all three together in the bowl and it was SO GOOD.  I will definitely eat here again and I will definitely order this exact same thing!

      IMG_2427

      My friend ordered the Kid’s Meal–Cheeseburger Steamed Pod which is served with Chips and a drink.IMG_0595

      My other friend ordered the Combination Bowl:  Grilled Beef and Chicken with Rice base and the Chimichurri Sauce.

      IMG_0597

      They each also ordered a dessert.  This is the Chocolate Cake (chocolate cake with a crunchy cookie layer and banana cream topping).  We all tasted it.  It was really good and super rich!

      IMG_0596

      The other dessert was the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse.  (blueberry cream cheese mousse with passion fruit curd)  I didn’t try this one, but they said it was good!

      IMG_2423

      I have eaten here on a past trip as well.  These are some pictures of food my group ordered during that trip. 

      Chopped Wood-Grilled Chicken with Romaine and Kale Salad Base.

      IMG_0236

      Regular order of the Cheeseburger Pods served with Chips.

      IMG_0239

      Overall, this quick service restaurant is one of my favorites!  Be sure to give it a try at least once.

      Up next…Cruising on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas!

    • March Disney World AEP Trip {Day 5}! Part 1–Animal Kingdom

      Posted at 8:40 am by taryngirl, on July 18, 2018

      Sadly my departure day was here.  BUT!  I always get the latest direct flight home on Southwest.  So I had some time to hit the parks until the afternoon.  I started off with my usual breakfast at French Quarter, Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory:

       

      IMG_0637

      Mickey Waffles with Sausage!  This is by far, my favorite Quick Service breakfast!

      After breakfast, I headed to Animal Kingdom.  I went straight to Pandora to meet up with my roommates.  I spent some time taking pics!

      IMG_0601

      Pongu Pongu–a popular drink stand:

      IMG_2335

      Satu’li Canteen entrance:

      IMG_2336

      Inside Windtraders Shop:

      IMG_2340

      IMG_2339

      IMG_2342

      This land is so amazing!

      IMG_2346

      IMG_2351

      IMG_2352

      From there we headed over to Africa because we had a Fastpass+ for Kilimanjaro Safaris.  This was taken on the bridge heading into Africa.  It is just so amazing to me, how different each of the parks are!

      IMG_2353

      I rarely have the opportunity to “check out” every kiosk, etc., so I made sure to do that this time!  This is Tamu Tamu Refreshments.  I never knew they had Dole Whips here!  AND you can get it with rum!

      IMG_2357

      I also got to look around the Harambe Market.  It was just before opening time at 11 a.m., and there were a few people in line waiting already!  I personally have never eaten anything from here yet.  This area is really neat though!

      IMG_0634

      IMG_0633

      This is one of the “famous” walls throughout Disney World.  See if you can find it next time you are there!

      IMG_2361

      IMG_0631

      IMG_0632

      IMG_0630

      IMG_0613

      One of my favorite places for a quick snack is Zuri’s Sweets Shop!  I can always find a sweet treat here.

      IMG_2375

      The Harambe Fruit Market is another great place to grab a snack.  You can see the Corn on the Cob counts as a Snack on the Disney Dining Plan (the purple and white logo DDP).  The corn is not listed on the official menu online, but it was there in March!

      IMG_2380

      IMG_2379

       

      All of the items with the DDP symbol count as a snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan!

      IMG_0612

      IMG_0611

      It was finally time for our Fastpass+!  So we headed over to the Safari entrance.  We were so lucky to see Augustus!  The cute baby hippo!

       

      IMG_2453

      Lots of animals were out today!

      IMG_0610

      IMG_0609

      IMG_0608

      IMG_2403

      Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery menu (March 2018):

      IMG_2405

      You can also see more snacks as noted with the DDP symbol.  From here we went to see the Festival of the Lion King.  This is a DO NOT MISS show!  It’s really fun to watch and action packed.  I unfortunately didn’t take any pictures.

      We wanted to eat lunch at Satu’li Canteen back in Pandora, so we started to make our way there.  Did you know there’s a path that can lead you there directly from the Festival of the Lion King?  If you pull up the map on My Disney Experience you will see it.  It was a really nice walk with not a lot of people!  This ice cream cart was on the way.  Note the DDP symbol for snacks!

      IMG_2408

      Looking from a spot on the path over towards Harambe.

      IMG_0603

      I had a Fastpass+ for Na’vi River Journey.  It’s a really neat boat ride.  It’s a little bit short, but the details are amazing!  It’s very slow, no drops, a little bit dark inside, but perfect for anyone no matter the age or size.  Here’s a short video I took!

    • March Disney World AEP Trip {Day 4}–Part 3! My birthday! (Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review and Magic Kingdom)

      Posted at 12:16 am by taryngirl, on June 26, 2018

      This day was so jam packed, that I have to dedicate a third blog post to it.  I think I forgot to mention that today was my birthday!  Right before we disembarked the ship, we were treated to lunch at Cabana’s, which is the ship’s buffet.  The variety of food that is available here is amazing!  There’s something for everyone.  After lunch, we sadly had to get off the ship, and head back to our resort.  My roommates and I had plans for tonight, so we all took a little rest before grabbing an Uber to Fort Wilderness.

      I think I’ve mentioned this before, but Ubering is SO EASY in Disney!  Our destination was Pioneer Hall at Fort Wilderness, which is where the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is located.  Using Disney transportation, we would have had to board a bus to Magic Kingdom, then taken a boat to Fort Wilderness.  This would have easily taken 45 minutes to an hour.  Instead…we Ubered and were at Fort Wilderness in about 7 minutes.  Now, Fort Wilderness is tricky because it’s a campground.  There’s a front gate and the bus depot.  In order to get back to Pioneer Hall, you have to change buses and take the internal bus.  Uber drivers cannot drive beyond the original bus depot.  So we got out and hopped on the internal bus.  Now I have heard the Minnie Vans CAN drive all the way back.  (Minnie Vans are $25 flat fee no matter where you go on Disney property.  Uber is standard Uber pricing.)  This was not a big deal for us, and the internal buses are frequent, at least in my experience.

      IMG_2305

      We made it!!

      If you are not familiar with the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, let me give you a little summary. 

      • It’s a dinner show with three available seating times available.
      • Prepayment is required.  Tickets may be picked up at any Walt Disney World Resort Concierge or Pioneer Hall.
      • You can make reservations online or by calling.
      • Here is the current (June 2018) seating chart with corresponding pricing.  (snipped directly from official WDW site)  The balcony goes all along the perimeter of the seating area below.
      • If you have an Annual Pass, you can get 10% off (as of June 2018).  They also accept Tables in Wonderland.
      • It’s a 2 hour singing, dancing, comedy show that is somewhat corny, but we love it!  This is the 4th time I’ve been here.
      • Did I mention that unlimited beer, wine and sangria are included?

      hoopdd

      Before going into the restaurant, we had some time to browse around the grounds.  There really is so much to see here!  There’s a really awesome playground right next to the building.  And plenty of horses to see.

      IMG_2303

      IMG_2306

      There are also Photopass photographers here to take pictures for you!

      IMG_2331

      It was time to enter!  To enter, you will check in at a “hostess stand” located in the middle of the walkway.  They will tell you where to line up.  There are two different doors you can enter.  The tables are numbered and assigned, and your number will be on your ticket.  You will know by what category you purchased, the general area you will need to head towards. 

      IMG_2310

      As soon as you sit down, your waiter/waitress will come over to greet you and take your drink order.  Then the food starts coming!

      IMG_2309

      I love this meal!  The salad is very good, with dressing that is super light.  The cornbread is AMAZING.  So amazing that I could eat both of these loaves by myself…but I didn’t.

      Food is served in buckets.  Yes buckets people!  You are at a hoe down of sorts.

      IMG_2319

      IMG_2317

      Reallllllly good fried chicken and mashed potatoes!

      IMG_2318

      ss.jpg

      Your food will be served in between show parts.

      IMG_2311

      IMG_2314

      There are some surprises for a grand finale, and some audience participation.  After the show, when we were stuffed to the gills, we headed outside and found our way to the boat dock to Magic Kingdom.

      IMG_0638.JPG

      I love, love, love being in the Magic Kingdom at night!  We still worked on some of our scavenger hunt pictures, and just hopped on some quick rides that had no wait.

      IMG_2521

      Up Next…Day 5!

    • March Disney World AEP Trip {Day 4}-Part 2! (Common Areas and Kid Clubs)

      Posted at 9:36 am by taryngirl, on June 15, 2018

      Moving on now to other “common” areas around the ship.

      This is the entrance to the Quiet Cove Adult Pool.  One great thing about the Disney Cruise ships is they all have adult only areas.  And they adhere to them!

      Yes, this pool has its own bar.

      Another adult only area is Satellite Falls.  This is hands down my favorite area to be when I’m kid free on the Dream or the Fantasy!

      You can’t see good in this picture, but all around the perimeter are padded loungers.  And there’s a glass wall to block the wind.

      This next picture is showing the Mickey Slide and Mickey’s Pool.  Above you can see the AquaDuck slide.

      At the other end of this area is Donald’s Family Pool. (not pictured)  There’s also a big screen where they play movies throughout the day.

      In case you didn’t know, in order to swim in the regular pools, children must be POTTY TRAINED!  NO SWIM DIAPERS!  And please, please, please adhere to this.  If there’s an accident in the pool, the entire thing is shut down, which is no fun for anyone.  So please, just follow the rules!  Available for children ages 8 and under is Nemo’s Reef.  This is more of a “splash pad,” but is a great option for those kids who wear swim diapers.

      From here we moved to the Kid Clubs.

      There are a few different age-specific experiences on Disney Cruise ships.  For children under the age of 3, group babysitting and play time happens at It’s a Small World Nursery.  A small fee DOES apply here!

      Children ages 3-12 have the option of going to the Oceaneer Club or the Oceaneer Lab.  There are so many activities going on at both of these locations!  Here’s a quick summary of the CLUB.  And here’s a quick summary of the LAB.  One note…your child can participate in a scheduled activity, or they can just go there and find something to do on her/his own.  All kids participating will get one of these Magic Bands.  They scan this everytime they enter the clubs.  One topic I read about often is parents in clubs.  The only time parents are permitted inside the club is during “Open House” hours which will be listed on the Navigator (schedule of events for the day).

      This is the large room right where you enter.  It has a magic floor!

      IMG_2264

      This is the way to get to the Lab once inside the Club.  Kids don’t have to walk out in the hallways, as you can get back and forth once inside.  This is also where they eat if they are eating a meal in the club.

      EDGE:

      This club is meant for kids ages 11-14.  Unfortunately I got no pictures!

      VIBE:

      This club is mean for kids ages 14-17.  This space was….AMAZING!  If I was a kid, I would never leave this space.  It has its own sundeck!

      Watch this video of Vibe that I took!
