Passengers on Disney Cruise Line ships in the Caribbean typically circle one special port-of-call on their itineraries.
I call it “Cay Day.”
Castaway Cay (pronounced “key”) is Disney’s Eden-like private island in the Bahamas and, for many cruise-goers, a stop there is the highlight of their vacation. If you can imagine a day at the beach designed to Disney’s exacting specifications, you can begin to envision the wonders of Castaway Cay. Some four- and five-day cruises feature two days at Castaway Cay, others just one.
Only Disney Cruise Line guests are allowed on Castaway Cay’s white-sand beaches so the experience is delightfully unhurried — and uncrowded.
