One of the most beautiful beaches in the World! It belongs to Disney so everything looks beautiful and perfectly planned, it is private so only the Disney ship you are on will dock. Really fun! There is an adults only beach, very peaceful, the rest are for the whole family.
A nice little island with enough amenities to enjoy the few hours you will have to explore. Beach, and touring options are available. Comparatively speaking, lunch is more enjoyable on the boat at the normal buffet. However the beach is very relaxing well outfitted with chairs and sunbrellas and a few swim toys. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
It's Disney's private island. Of course it's amazing. It's beautiful and there's so much to do! I recommend the bike riding and going (riding) to the overlook tower for pictures. The cookout in the adult area is great too.
Disney has really made something special here. It is a real, natural island with shallow beach, ocean access and they have created a water/play park inside it. There are multiple lifeguard towers on the shallow ocean/beach, many places to stop, relax, or have some fun. Characters all over the place for photos ops. Food and service are good. My family and I had fun at this island, we believe it was the highlight of our cruise.
Castaway Cay was the highlight of our Disney cruise. We just did the rental package that included snorkel gear, a tube, and bikes. It was perfect for our family. The snorkel area was surprisingly rich with fish and fun things to see. Kept our 9 year old interested in his first real snorkel. He swam at least a mile! The beach was surprisingly not crowded.
Okay I’ve been here twice before and I absolutely love coming to Castaway Cay every single time. It is amazing, so beautiful. What is to be expected from non other than Disney to insure the upkeep of their private island and that every single one of their guest is happy and welcomed. You can run the 5k and get a nice little medal. You can explore the island on foot, by tram, or rent a bicycle. For those older folk they have a side of the beach only for adult. Extremely serene!! They have plenty for the kids to do, very inclusive for all ages. Definitely recommend 10/10. 5stars!!
Beautiful beaches wonderful service. We spent the entire day on the beach. They have so much to do. They also have their kids club on the island. We got a few hours of adult time on the 18+beach. Our son loved kids scuttles club. They had a huge outdoor play area with games and a huge splash pad. They also feed the kids while you're having adult time. We picked him up and swam on the family beach for hours! Thanks DISNEY.
This was the best place of our trip! They care about the cleanliness of the bathrooms, walkways, beach, etc. They serve you lunch on the island and have very helpful staff for anything you need. They have an area for adults and an area for families. Can't say enough! The best!!! Once you go on a Disney Cruise, and experience their own private beach in the Bahamas it will difficult to accept anything else.
Disney makes it so easy to enjoy the Caribbean without having to go through some of the more stressful experiences of heading through a Caribbean port like Taxis or street hawkers. You can plan your experiences ahead of time with a wide variety of options or just spend a relaxing day at the beach with amazing weather. Most of the food is free and you can feel completely safe with friendly staff all over. The snorkeling is a bit limited but there are some interesting surprises that Disney has scattered around in the water.
Mickey knows how to buy an island and make it enjoyable for everyone. A little piece of paradise in the Caribbean. All the food is included with your cruise and there are so many activities. I always leave feeling like I’d love to stay longer.
Loved Disney's island. Wish we could have had two days to play and explore. Lots of places to sit on the beach and plenty of seats. The kids enjoyed snorkeling and swimming in the ocean. The food and service is terrific!
First time here and it was awesome! We were on a Disney Cruise so the fact that the characters were around to keep the kids entertained was a plus! The beach is nice and water is clear can't go wrong!
Nice place! The beach is great for kids, it feels like a pool. Some Disney characters are there yo take some pics. Goofy danced with everyone. It was fun!
I've been on four Disney Cruises, and while I was in the Navy I traveled all over the Caribbean. I can say without hesitation that Castaway Cay is in my top 3 island resorts. Since it is Disney's private island, visitation is restricted to those sailing on Disney Cruise Line. Once there, you will find unparalleled service, stunningly beautiful (clean) beaches, ad amazing views. Just as important is what you will not find There are no random people walking the beach trying to sell you shells or weed or random trinkets. You can relax in complete peace.
Beautiful, clean, full of great adventures, fantastic service, delicious food, shopping, great beaches, water sports and lots of places to relax! My favorite island!
The island is beautiful and there is plenty to do. I had no kids under 18 this year so I was able to enjoy Serenity Bay (the section in which you have to be at least 18 to visit). It was wonderful - very serene. I will tell you that if you send a post card from the post office on the island, don't expect it to arrive before you get home from your vacation - unless you are vacationing for at least a month.
We really enjoyed this place and will hopefully be back! Good food, great beaches, great place for kids and adults. Some good souvenir shopping here too. Highly recommended!
Castaway Cay is Disney Cruise Line's private island. There are a variety of amenities here from snorkeling to jet skis. The price for some of these is rather exorbitant. One of my biggest issues here is that there aren't enough hammocks. Rude people often put their stuff in them and never use them. I recommend waiting for everyone to get off the boat first before going out there so you don't get hit with a crowd.
This place is EPIC. We LOVED it. There was plenty of room and we did not need to panic all morning about getting their quickly.
Great place to relax. Nice beach, good amenities. Snorkeling gear is over priced and the drink guys asked me 5k times if I wanted something to drink (sometimes immediately after one another). It also gets a little crowded, but I didn't have a chance to go to the adult beach. Otherwise it was awesome. It takes away the pressure to go to a beach at other stops. This one is awesome and private.
Our favorite Caribbean stop. As relaxing or adventurous as you want to make it. Disney provides the great lunch, you make the rest of the decisions.
It was really awesome to not have to go anywhere after the boat docks. Once you are there you are there. You simply walk off the boat and you are on a beautiful island where everything is within walking distance.
This is a beautiful island with an awesome walking/bike trail. After a week on the Fantasy, we had a great time running the Castaway Cay 5K and biking across the island. Make sure to go to the observation tower for some beautiful views!
We splurged and booked a Cabana. Worth the extra fee. Felt like the princess I think I am. Comfy Cabana with a small fridge full of soda, water, and fruit. Frozen towels to keep you cool. Golf carts to pick you up to take you to the BBQ lunch with so many yummy BBQ foods.
This place is simply amazing! Free umbrellas, hammocks and loungers. Food is free. Pay for alcohol. The adults only beach is extremely relaxing.
A great cruise stop.the best day, by far, on our trip. Got a six pack of Coronas and some beach chairs.had fun snorkeling although you have to swim out pretty far to see the good stuff. Clear green waterbeautiful stop.
