Cruise Day #24: Castaway Cay

Alright folks....it's finally here....the final full day of our cruise. I figured I shouldn't procrastinate writing & posting it any longer....so here goes....our day at Castaway Cay.......

Jason made our magnet for the day with a Lilo & Stitch surfing theme....which is, of course, Hawaii and not the Bahamas....but they're both tropical and both beautiful...so hey---we thought it worked!!

For those of you who have never cruised with Disney before----Castaway Cay is Disney's private island in the Bahamas.  Every Disney cruise that sails in the Caribbean makes at least one stop at Castaway (weather permitting).  The only ships that ever get to dock there are the Disney ships...and there is only ever (to my knowledge, at least) one there at a time.....so you basically have this very private experience on a tropical paradise.  The island has beautiful beaches, a snorkeling lagoon, a marina with water sports rentals (parasailing, paddle boats, jet skis, etc.), game areas, a family beach, an adults only beach, a large BBQ buffet restaurant, little shops, bike and float rentals, walking trails, spa massage cabins---it's like a beautiful tropical land extension of the ship itself--basically, it's heaven......DISNEY STYLE!!!
