Castaway Cay, Bahamas
Yvonne Stephens
The last stop was our
favorite, Castaway Cay. What a terrific stop! I’d booked a cabana massage
on the beach first thing that morning, and what a treat! The adult only
beach is on the other side of the island and you can catch 2 trams to get
over or just walk. The cabanas have most of the ocean side of the cabana
propped open to get the full affect of the view, they sit a little above
the beach so they are private. It was the best part of the whole cruise.
My husband took our youngest right to the family beach and they were the
first in the water and were able to see a ray and a couple of hermit crabs
before the crowds formed.
He had one of the
hammocks staked out, but because he put his gear on the sand beside the
hammock and not “in” the hammock, someone else took over while he was in
the water. Oh well, there were plenty of lounge chairs. Our oldest
daughter did the teen excursion “Wild Side” with bicycling, sea kayaking
and snorkeling, she befriended another girl from Guatemala and had a great
time. Lunch at Cookies BBQ was fabulous, Disney does a great job of
staffing the island from the ship and it was well done. Our afternoon
shore excursion was canceled because the wind came up and wasn’t good for
the catamaran “Sea Horse Snorkel”, I heard that the morning snorkel
adventure was great. We got back on the ship at about 2pm and sat by the
pool.
