We recently went on a Disney cruise to Nassau, Castaway Cay (Disney's private Island) and then had a day at sea. We boarded the ship on Feb. 14 and disembarked about 9:00 am on Feb. 18. Our first night we had about 6 ft waves and it made a few in our party feel a bit under the weather. Even I felt a bit queasy now and again. When we awoke we were in beautiful Nassau the weather was a bit warmer probably upper 60's maybe 71. The Bahamians were all wearing there fleece and pretty much everyone who left the ship were in shorts. Such tourists.. LOL! Everyone in our party had an activity to do. I fortunately was the photographer for the dolphin group. Julie, Charlie and Matt were able to get in the water with some beautiful creatures who were very happy to see them. My favorite was that all the dolphins were there only because of injury and were being well cared for. A couple of them really liked having their picture taken. It was wonderful to interact with them through my camera..
Castaway Cay was our next day. It was overcast, windy and raining off and on in the morning. By midday the sun had come out, it was still pretty windy but at least it wasn't miserable. We went to the beautiful beach and I left on my clothes. It was just too cold for me to set foot in the water or anything. Now the boys did go swimming and were met in the water by several stingrays that would swim past just to check them out. Of course it freaked them out along with the grownups in the water. Not me I was safe on dry land just watching them coast by.
Our day at sea was nice. They turned the ship south and traveled a bit further into the Bahamas to try to give us warmer weather and calmer seas. I personally still wore my jacket the whole day. I didn't get much sun at all on our cruise. I stayed very covered and warm. They boys seemed to have a great day at sea, by this day they all had made lots of friends and enjoyed playing with them when ever they could. Before dinner we turned back north and headed for shore. We had fairly rough seas 16ft waves, but by the time we hit the worst of it mostly everyone was asleep of course except me.
We had to disembark early in the morning so we had a quick breakfast with our wonderful waitstaff and went ashore. Where we were greeted by more Disney people who put us on a bus to go to our hotel. We stayed at Disney's Coronado Springs resort. Well the next three days were spent walking Disney's many theme parks.
I don't know if it was because of my Celiac or because I'm skinny, which ever it was our waitstaff insisted on bringing me two entrees and two desserts sometimes. I felt obligated to eat at least part of them and was dreading the scale. But thankfully nothing gained, and nothing lost. So I was even....Wooo Hooo!
