On Day 2 of Stove's Surprise Birthday Wish Cruise, the ship docked in Nassau. However, since we've been to Nassau many times, we decided not to get off in port, and spend the day on the ship.

The Carnival Sunshine was also in port that morning.

I did, of course, grab a few photos of the recently expanded port from the ship.

The beach you can see here is the British Colonial Nassau, which sells day passes on Resort for a Day. I've never been here, so I can't speak to the experience, but from the ship it looked like someplace to check out if you wanted to get off the ship, but didn't want to venture to Atlantis or Paradise Cove.

The Senor Frogs appears to be deceptively close to the ship.

This pink neoclassical building is the official home of the British Governor General (I had to search Google Maps to figure that out).

We got ready to spend the day by the pool - in Disney pool fits, of course.

We grabbed lunch at Donald's Cantina. I really like this spot. The line was never too long, and the tacos are really good!

My one critique is that there are so many salsas to try, but no chips to be found! Chips and salsa would be such a great and easy poolside snack.

There is no shortage of hot sauce, either! We appreciated the variety.

We caught up with the rest of the family in the Quiet Cove, by the bar and infinity pool in the back.

We snagged the only table with shade and managed to hold it down for most of the afternoon. While I like the infinity pool, it was a little small for the number of adults (the Quiet Cove Pools on the Magic/Wonder and even Dream/Fantasy are so much larger!).

Also there was no shade! It would be nice if they could bring out umbrellas or extend a shade canopy when docked in port because the sun was unbearable, making all of the tables in the sun unusable.

A little peek at our neighbor, Utopia of the Seas...

Holding down the shady spot!

Landon loved the edible straws that came with the drinks - so much that he would ask for extra straws just to eat. There are different flavors which is interesting, but I preferred the neutral straw so it didn't change the taste of the drink.

I ventured over to the main pool area where you can tell by how the chairs are occupied that the shade was an absolute necessity.

We waved goodbye to Utopia of the Seas!

And got ready for Pirate Night!

Aaron, Stove, Judy, and I went to the Walt Disney Theatre to see The Little Mermaid which is a unique, original production that was developed for the Disney Wish. The underwater visual effects are impressive, and the projections fill the entire theater. Unfortunately, they had technical issues during the storm scene, and we had to wait about 20 minutes for the show to resume. I was worried that we were going to miss the deck party upstairs.

Luckily, Rachel and Landon went up early to stake out a spot along the railing, so we were able to join up with them.

The deck party was a little delayed, too - likely because the theater show had been delayed.

The deck was pretty packed!

Just Landon and the kids -

This is the exact same show that is on the other Disney Cruise ships. It's geared more to kids. It's a cute show, but maybe not worth staking out a spot in the heat for.

After the show, we headed to The Rose, a Beauty and the Beast themed bar on Deck 12 at the entrance of the two adults-only restaurants - Palo and Enchante.

This is a great spot to get a cocktail and watch the sunset.

Our dinner tonight was in 1923. We were seated in the Walt Disney side of the dining room.

Fancy butter, but the bread was too hard to eat.

We felt like 1923 had the best menu of the three rotational dining rooms.

Not my drink, but it came with a chocolate topper -

I enjoyed the Hyperion Four-Cheese Tri-Color Tortelloni -

Rachel and Aaron both had the Alameda Porcini Spiced Ahi Tuna. Aaron was surprised that it was real wasabi, not green horseradish.

Aaron convinced me to get a soup so we could trade and try both. This is The Pulled Guinea Hen Corn Chowder -

And Roasted Roma Tomato Soup was a solid choice -

The Split Napa Baby Romaine Lettuce was refreshing -

Aaron thought that the Fennel, Bartlett Pear and Tatsoi Salad was 'mid' -

Aaron gave the Italian Flat Parsley and Rosemary-crusted Rack of Lamb a 6.5 out of 10. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly, but he found the flavor to be sub-par.

Rachel loves steak, and she found the 1923 Peppered Filet Mignon to be very good.

For dessert, the Hollywood Hills Hot Fudge Sundae was a crowd favorite.

And the Atwater Fuji Apple Cheesecake was.... interesting.

After dinner, we went back up to the pool deck for the Pirates Rockin' Parlay Party. This is the fireworks show for the Disney Wish and is different than the show featuring Jack Sparrow on the other Disney Cruise ships. Unfortunately, we didn't get up in time to get a good spot for the show.... it's really hard to do with the second seating.
