Ahoy Mateys!

Last Wednesday, my little mateys, family, and I  set sail for a magical kingdom and a Disney cruise. After passing through a sky full of marshmallow clouds, we reached a turbulent zone. Without worry, we arrived safely in Orlando and embarked on our treasured vacation. There were delicious foods, exciting characters, fun-filled rides, fireworks to dazzle the crowd, and one highlight in particular, the Pirates of the Caribbean set. Although this was not the first visit to this replica of ransacked 17th Century town filled with pirates, it was the first time I saw Captain Jack Sparrow emerge from a barrel of rum. This became a prelude to an enjoyable cruise and everything on the ship dealing with the rocking pirate bash and pirate dinner followed by a skit including Captain Jack, music, and dancing.

Do you see Captain Jack Sparrow?

  1. Carol, it sounds as though you had a wonderful time on the cruise. Love the photos, but I’ll pass on the pirate decor!

    1. Thanks for commenting last week and tonight, Glenda. We had a fabulous time and this was my first cruise. Outside of eating too much and have a very bad rash all over my body (some strange allergens attacked my immune system) upon the return, I am so thankful that I did not get COVID. Ho, Ho, Ho itching is no fun but vacationing is.

    1. Everything about the Magic Kingdom, Disney World, and the Disney Wish cruise was a dream come true. Pirate Night will always be a highlight. The little girls did meet Captain Jack Sparrow up close and personal while I was packing. Hope your computer is up and running in no time, Bob.
