Castaway Cay (CC) is Disney's private island in the Bahamas. Almost every cruise Bahamaian/Caribbean cruise visits Castaway Cay at least once.
Unlike some private islands, CC has a dock. This enables the ship to come right up to the island and people do not have to use tenders. This makes it very easy to come and go from the ship throughout the day.
The island is essential divided into three areas. The first area you come to is the boating lagoon. You can rent small sailboats, paddle boats and water trikes. This is also where you go for excursions such as parasailing, fishing and jet skis.
The second area is the family beach with a snorkeling lagoon, play area and water slides. There are plenty of loungers and umbrellas for everyone, but the beach definitely feels more crowded if you are on the Dream or Fantasy.
The third area is Serenity Bay, the adults only beach. This is a short tram-ride from the family beach. It is quieter with lots of loungers and some hammocks.
A barbecue style lunch is served on the island with hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled fish and salads and sides. Ice cream and soft drinks are included. Serenity Bay has it's own lunch area where children are not allowed.
In addition to the beaches, there are sports, bike rentals, dance parties, bars and shopping. There is a kids's club on the island with secure programming.
Castaway Cay is an amazing place and is many DCL cruiser's favorite stop.
