Castaway Cay

Pronounced "Castaway Key," Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Cay is absolutely breathtaking. Most 3-4 Night Bahamian, 7-Night Eastern & Western Caribbean, and 12-Night Southern Caribbean cruises stop at Disney Cruise Line's private island paradise, Castaway Cay. The reason why most new cruisers have not heard of Castaway Cay is that you only can get there by ship. It is a 1,000 acre island that was purchased by DCL in 1997. It was originally called "Gourda Cay" and was used by bootleggers and drug runners until 1997. Today, only one cruise ship stops there at a time so there are hardly any people. There is a free beach buffet (Cookie's BBQ) and beautiful caribbean white sand beaches. You can also snorkel, swim, parasail, fly fish, and ride water trikes for an additional price that you can book during online check-in or on the ship. DCL also makes their own fuel from left-over oils on the ship.
