CASTAWAY CAY
One of the things I love most about cruising is waking up to the ocean every morning. It is one of the most calming and tranquil moments of cruising. We started our second full day on the Dream with another late start. By the time we awoke we were already docked at Castaway Cay.
At 10:00 in the morning we made our way down to the gangplank to debark for the day at Castaway Cay. It was incredibly windy so all of the excursions were cancelled for the day. That did not impact us though as we did not have anything booked. We walked down to the beach and found a nice shady spot to relax and enjoy.
We spent the morning enjoying the beach atmosphere and having some good conversation with our family. The kids spent some time in the water, splashing in the waves. After a few hours we went over to Cookies Too for some lunch, and then spent some time exploring the island before heading back to the boat.
We decided not to go to dinner in the dining room opting to get some room service delivered to the room. The motion of the boat affected our youngest son on this trip and we found that staying on the higher decks lessened the effects. As he was feeling a little off – we decided dinner in the room was the perfect solution!
That evening was pirate night on the boat. So much fun! A pirate themed dinner menu, costumes galore, pirate themed deck parties and, of course, fireworks! This was our third Disney cruise and I never tire of pirate night. It is such a fun, family friendly atmosphere.
In addition to the pirate night activities, Mike Super, Magic & Illusion, was performing in the Walt Disney Theater. In my humble opinion, he was not worth the time. His show felt more like an infomercial for his t-shirts, and, I did not find it very entertaining. At talented magician, but, IMO, a bit of a disappointment. The Disney Dream cruise fell a little short in the entertainment department. On the previous seven night cruises, Disney had four separate acts which performed throughout the week, each entertainer performing a couple separate shows. This four night cruise only had one and it created a bit of a void.
