A New Ship | Little Paper Cabana

Image
As we went forth from Rizzo's room to solve who stole the Muppet Show, we were glad to discover that there are different villains and clues, so if you see someone else solve the mystery, you can still enjoy the thrill of the game. Our view for most of the afternoon. After solving the caper and staying tuned for the grand finale, we headed back to our room, our free drinks, the view and some quality time reading my Kindle. On a trip back in to grab some bottled waters, I noticed that the concierge left us a present. Little Paper Cabana A perfect little replica of our cabana! A map of the locations of the new family beach cabanas? How helpful. Ben and I headed off to the Cove Café, since we had neglected to visit it so far. It was oddly empty for mid-afternoon.

This Is The Deck That Does Not End As I watched the sun rise, the thought occurred to me more than once that this is a significantly larger than the Magic and Wonder. First off, it took a lot longer to run a lap and second, you can hardly see one end of the deck from the other.  You sure can't complain about the view, though.
