Castaway Cay, Bahamas

Getting off the ship
we expected a lot of people to be our already on the island seeing as how
it was about 9:30 or so, but there was hardly anyone. We stopped and had
our pictures taken along the way to the adult beach with a couple of the
characters and what not. When we got to the adult beach the tide was
really low and we decided we would drag a few chairs out in the water to
relax. This was very nice and you could see a few fish swimming. My fiancé
was laying on a raft later on and when she happened to look over she
noticed a sting ray swimming right for her and she flipped out even though
she had just swam with them the day before. After relaxing in the water
for most of the morning we had lunch on the island. It was the normal
burger and things of that nature, but it was good and it beat going all
the way back to the ship for something else. We had our appointment at 2
to get our massages. This was what we had been looking forward to the
most. Let me tell you that we had never had massages before but they felt
excellent and the cabanas overlooking the beach were wonderful. They make
you fill out a form asking you if you have problems with different things.
I believe they basically use this information to try and sell you more
stuff. For example, I marked that I had problems falling asleep sometimes
and they recommended a lavender shower gel that cost $33. My thought was
that I could go to Target or something and find some lavender shower gel
for about $5 or less, so don’t let them talk you into something that you
can buy elsewhere for much less. After our messages we headed back to the
ship since that is what most people were doing and because we felt so
tired after those wonderful massages.
