We had a great time on our first full day on the ship.  We had awesome weather.  I relaxed out on deck while Jasmine went down the slide in the Mickey pool, and swam in the Goofy pool.  During the Fun in the Sun games, Jasmine got to dance with Chip and Dale.  Then we had to rush up to one of the 2-bedroom suites on the ship for a meet and greet with the rest of the MedHead friends we met on the DisBoards.  The Roy suite is absolutely gorgeous, and it was really sweet of our friends to invite us up for a tour. 

Then it was time to get all gussied up for formal night.  After dinner we walked the red carpet at the “Golden Mickeys” show.  After the show, we went to an After Party where Jasmine danced the night away with Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Max.  It was so much fun to see her enjoying herself so much.  Then she went to the Oceaneer Lab and I met up with some friends in the Adults Only nightclub area.

We paid for our late night partying though, when we had to get up at 0730 for our Palermo shore excursion.  We did a half-day tour that included a short city tour, and a trip to a castle.  Inside the castle, the kids got to paint some ceramics to take home for souvenirs, and we all had a gelato treat.  Then we went over to a marionette show, which was really funny.  It was all in Italian, but the kids seemed to follow along without any problems.

We took it easy tonight, as we have a full day in Pompeii and Sorrento tomorrow.
