We left our house the 21st, the day after we got off at christmas break. We drove to Galveston, where we boarded onto the biggest ship i have ever seen, it was so big and luxurious. When we came onboard on the ship, staff was lined up in the entrance and presented our family and clapped at us, that was a little weird. Me and Emily shared a room, and the the boys and my host parents shared another one. The ship had different clubs for different age groups, the one for us was called VIBE. Our dinners were arranged in such a way that there were 3 different restaurants on the boat. You were signed to one of them each night, and as you moved around the resturants your waiters would follow you. I thought that that was a really fun way to do it, cause then you got to know them. Every night there was a show onboard, that was some amazing shows. The ship also had 3 pools with hot tubs, 2 basketball courts and 10 pingpong tables and fuss ball tables and much, much more.
The two first days we spend at sea, we spend quite a lot of time just exploring the whole ship and navigate us selfs around. We also went up to VIBE, where they had a little icebreaker thing going on, so we met some people up there. The wether also started to get really nice, so we spend quite a lot of time tanning. We also spend some time hanging out with with our new friends. Since it was a disney cruise, they of curse also had a movie theater showing the latest movies. The new movie Frozen(Frost) was playing, so we went to see that. That is such a good movie, i will encourage everyone to go see it, its my new favorite disney movie. And then it is actually inspired by H.C. Andersens fariytale "The snow queen".
The third day we docked in Cozumel, a little island in the mexican gulf. Before hand Dorte, Lucas, Nicholas, Emily and I had booked an excursion to go swim with dolphins while Bob was scuba diving. When we got off the boat, a taxi came to pick us up and they took us to this dolphin place. We were divided into groups and we got the dolphin named ATOS, a little 4 year old dolphin. We learned how to make the dolphin kiss us, we could kiss it, it would greet us, we got on a boogie board and were pushed by the dolphin and we swam with it where it dragged us. It was so cool! In the evening it was pirate night, so there was no show but there was a huge pirate party on the deck.
The day after, on the 24th, we arrived at Grand Cayman Island, there we had booked a trip to go snorkeling. They took us on a little boat ride and then they stopped at a coral reef. It wasn't a very
colorful reef, but there were some pretty fish. After spending some time there, we sailed to a shipwreck and snorkled over that, that was really cool too. When thayt was over, we went to get some food at a resturent and Doret and I shoped a little bit in the small souviner shops. On christmas eve we ate at Animators Palate, that was a really cool resturant, when we got there everything was black and white, but as time went by, things started to get color. The show that night was called the golden Mickys, it was an award show, and i thougth that that was the best show.

The last two days we spent at see. There we just hung out and ate a lot of food. Of course we also took a lot of pictures with the disney figures. The 2 shows were toy story the musical and a show called Dream, they were really cool too.
So all in all it was a really nice and magical cruise. Even though it was really weird not being with my family at home, and having traditional danish christmas, so even though i was really busy i still had time to think about all the missed family and finds at home, that usually were there around christmas time.
This was the entrance to animators palate, we explored it on the first day.
