We typically like to eat out on the back deck, but it was a little too windy so we opted to eat inside.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">After lunch, we headed down to deck 2, outside of Enchanted Garden, where they have tables set up for dining reservations at Palo and Remy, and also for those guests who wish to switch their dining time. This was the first time we have done this while onboard and they just gave us a new dining ticket and told us to present it at our first dinner and they would seat us at our new table.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10711\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/trip-recap-day-1-3-night-bahamian-cruise-aboard-the-disney-dream-by-the-dcl-dude-podcast\/img_2233\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1572611411&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0625&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2233\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10711\" src=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2233.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10719\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/trip-recap-day-1-3-night-bahamian-cruise-aboard-the-disney-dream-by-the-dcl-dude-podcast\/img_2250\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1536,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1572616296&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2250\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10719\" src=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2250.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">That took -2 minutes as we were done by 12:28, which meant we still had over an hour until our rooms were ready.

I\u2019ve said before that the Category 5E staterooms are my favorite and I will book them any time they are available and within budget. We were able to book a Category 5E about a month out with a GTY rate. This just meant that they would assign a stateroom for us and is different than the VGT rates with restrictions. We were assigned stateroom 9670, which is a corner cabin with a verandah that wraps around the side of the ship. We were SO excited to sail in this room and it did not disappoint.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">We loved the size of the room and ESPECIALLY loved the size of the verandah, but if we had our kids we would have missed the curtain separator and the split bathrooms.

The dining time switch went off without a hitch and we were seated with a delightful older couple from the Orlando area. I attempted to take pictures of my food, but they are all terrible so I\u2019m not sharing. iPhones continue to be the worst in low light situations. Real bloggers would be appalled at my attempts. I will share a picture, though, of the escargot that I tried, which I\u2019m happy to report wasn\u2019t terrible! I\u2019m not a picky eater, but the thought of cooked snails has never been appealing to me. But one benefit of eating in the restaurants on these cruises is the opportunity to try things that you might not otherwise order in a restaurant. I still wouldn\u2019t order it, but I liked it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10725\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/trip-recap-day-1-3-night-bahamian-cruise-aboard-the-disney-dream-by-the-dcl-dude-podcast\/img_2278\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1536,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1572632342&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.14285714285714&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2278\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10725\" src=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2278.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">The time between dinner and the nighttime show is typically spent participating in our favorite pastime \u2013 checking out the merchandise in the shops. We like to look through everything and make a mental note of the things we\u2019re interested in. On longer cruises, we\u2019ll do this over and over until we\u2019ve narrowed it down to one or two things. There was a lot less time on this cruise, so we had to expedite the process a little. Here\u2019s a pro tip: if you see something on the first night of your cruise and there are limited sizes, buy it then. If you put it off, it will likely not last long. We\u2019ve been burned a few times by this.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">I really like the spirit jerseys with the ship stern characters and I really liked this shirt with the ship\u2019s itinerary.

Ultimately we didn\u2019t get picked, and afterward I was sad that I didn\u2019t try harder. The show was hosted by the adult entertainment leader, Tisa, who was fantastic \u2013 so, so funny.
