I thought I remembered other videos on UA-cam that showed nets just off shore in Castaway Cay. They prevented sea life any larger than some small fish from getting that close the the beach. I wonder what happened to the nets?
Thank you for this video . Your enthusiasm is contagious. We will be taking our very first cruise on the Disney Dream on Nov 1. It took forever to convince my dh to try a cruise so I booked a 4 night taster cruise and then we will be going to WDW and spending 8 days in a 1bdrm Savannah view. Probably not going to do the parks ...just relax and hopefully look at booking another cruise for January🤞
Amazing vlog, as always! Castaway Cay looks like the most relaxing place on earth. It reminds me of an island my school band visited when we went on our senior trip to Hawaii! This cruise seems like it went by so fast! But I am glad you had a good time :)
We went on the September 6th sailing. It was our very first and we are hooked. My daughter and I just watched this and relived our experience. I can’t wait for our next one! We are going to WDW for our first time ever too Oct 3rd so ty for all of those videos also!
I’ve been on several Disney cruises, Castaway Cay is known for its BBQ! Neither of you commented on that. You ate chicken and burger but didn’t like the BBQ ribs? Pulled pork? You smell it all over when you’re there.
I am loving your videos of your trip! I am so happy for you both as you were able to sail on the first Disney ship out! I can't wait to get out there on a 7 day cruise.
Believe that's just a part of the family beach. The adults only beach is open waters..those sharks are mostly just sand sharks and are harmless. One came within inches of us on an excursion once. Was pretty cool
Hi Michael Super great cruise vlogs! @ Geyser Point about to try the Bison Cheese Burger. Is the Monorail stopping @ the Polynesian? Thanks for your magical vlogs!! Fans from Miami...
eWe have seen stingrays the last couple of times at Serenity bay in late 2019 and early 2020. They are just nurse sharks they won't bother with you. there are star fish too.
A double dip cruise at Castaway Cay.....that is a dream....:) That looks like so much fun. Well, the rain maybe not quite as much fun. and the shark, in a bit shallow. At least the water is clear enough for you to see it.
I don’t think there is a safety net installed at Serenity Bay. I know there is one at the family beach. Why I say this is, during one of my cruises a shark swam right past me on Serenity Bay. It would be good to know for sure though.
It brings back memories of my only Disney Cruise which was on the Dream. I can't eat second dinner seating anymore, at my age eating late at night keeps me up all night with acid reflux.
@@ameliaerin1544 yes i think that if they were to stay overnight then all of the transactions on the ship with the passengers would be taxable by bahamian tax authorities, sort of the opposite reason why the stores are closed during days docked in non-US ports.
Michael, have you had time to review the new Disney World Genie + program and the new cost of the new levels. I would like to know your thoughts. Pro and Con. Thanks
On our trip we saw several large Star fish at castaway cay ⭐️ we also saw a stingray but not that close...sure they are looking to be fed...same with the shark 🦈😲 Good video Michael 👍🏼
Great blog Michael ! What a fantastic time to cruise, so few people, you’re safer there than anywhere. So glad you had an incredible time. Did you gain weight with all that food!?
Just catching up on your videos and good to see you back cruising. We hope to go on our first next summer. I have the same pair of Maui Jim’s and they are fantastic glasses. Maybe we’ll see you soon on a Ratatouille preview.
Thanks.
That piece of coral you found looked like a mermaid tail! 🧜🏻♀️ Awesome vlog Michael! Wow the shark and stingray sighting!!!
How many Disney cruises have you been on Michael?

My mom and I were on the Magic and experienced 2 stingrays in Serenity Bay .. back in 2002.
Are you allowed to take your drinks inside the theater with the new rules?
Seeing the wild life up close is my favorite part of your trip. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!

When I was at Castaway Cay in 2019, I saw a stingray while doing the snorkeling activity! It was very calm and very cute.
I’ve been on several Disney cruises, Castaway Cay is known for its BBQ! Neither of you commented on that. You ate chicken and burger but didn’t like the BBQ ribs? Pulled pork? You smell it all over when you’re there.
He got ribs....twice...said he really liked it.
The return of David
I was wondering about him too
I am loving your videos of your trip! I am so happy for you both as you were able to sail on the first Disney ship out!
I can't wait to get out there on a 7 day cruise.
I wonder if the rain stirred up the food that the sharks and stingrays enjoy?
Just curious were there many children on this cruise or mostly adults?
Hey Michael I heard Disney has a New Ship coming soon?!? Are you going to Sail on that ship during its first year??
Hey Michael, what type of Maui glasses do you wear?
I wonder if the wildlife got used to being close to the island while cruises hips weren't running. Such a cool encounter!
Time to Xmas shop for family. Lol great deals❤️❤️❤️😀👍
Michel the cars that they are using on Castaway Cay are called Moke.
Love your cruise vlogs! I get sad along with y’all when it comes to an end. Can’t wait for more adventures!
I’ve been to CC several times and was always told the beaches were netted off to keep creatures out of the area was this not the case?
Believe that's just a part of the family beach. The adults only beach is open waters..those sharks are mostly just sand sharks and are harmless. One came within inches of us on an excursion once. Was pretty cool
They are just scary because movies (Jaws, megashark etc) and not a threat. 🦈
Some of those cannons are from the actual Flying Dutchmen ship used in the pirates movies.
Couldn’t it be a bat? A Disney bat I think lol
Are they still offering the place holders?
Way cool! 🦈🦑
Love your face covering. Where is it available ? 👀 good looking shirt too 💛🤗
Looks amazing! Very relaxing.
Hi Michael
Super great cruise vlogs!
@ Geyser Point about to try the Bison Cheese Burger.
Is the Monorail stopping @ the Polynesian?
Thanks for your magical vlogs!!
Fans from Miami...
Love these Vlogs!!

eeeeek! sharks?!?!
I could stay a week on castaway caye 🥰Great video….maybe hungry ….I watched it before dinner 😂
😮 Sharks! That cant be controlled but put safety signs
Where did you get those towel clips Michael?
Cast away key turn into animal kingdom at sea 😂😂
A double dip cruise at Castaway Cay.....that is a dream....:) That looks like so much fun. Well, the rain maybe not quite as much fun. and the shark, in a bit shallow. At least the water is clear enough for you to see it.
What is capacity of this ship previously?
4000 passengers at full capacity
Great footage again.. fantastic day... There may have been a breach in the safety net that surrounds serenity bay to protect swimmers.
I don’t think there is a safety net installed at Serenity Bay. I know there is one at the family beach. Why I say this is, during one of my cruises a shark swam right past me on Serenity Bay. It would be good to know for sure though.
Michael, I hear a lot of people call the island Castaway Key, why do they say key when it's cay?
That is how they tell you that it is pronounced in that part of the world.
That is how it is pronounced. 😁
@@rebeccan4763 Ohh ok, learn something new every day!
It brings back memories of my only Disney Cruise which was on the Dream. I can't eat second dinner seating anymore, at my age eating late at night keeps me up all night with acid reflux.
Did the ship stay docked at Castaway? Would be cool if there was some night life there.
No, it does not
@@ameliaerin1544 yes i think that if they were to stay overnight then all of the transactions on the ship with the passengers would be taxable by bahamian tax authorities, sort of the opposite reason why the stores are closed during days docked in non-US ports.
your grogu lanyard is so cute :)

Good video Michael 👍🏼
Wow! Another awesome day!
Enjoying your videos. We might be on your Marvel cruise out of Miami
Great video 😀
Great blog Michael ! What a fantastic time to cruise, so few people, you’re safer there than anywhere. So glad you had an incredible time. Did you gain weight with all that food!?
Can I ask is it castaway cay or castaway key? Or is cay pronounced key in Bahamian?
Cay is pronounced key.
These cruise videos have been great. Thanks!
LOVED this vlog series...so sad it's ending:((
Just catching up on your videos and good to see you back cruising. We hope to go on our first next summer. I have the same pair of Maui Jim’s and they are fantastic glasses. Maybe we’ll see you soon on a Ratatouille preview.
The greatest threat would be stepping on a sea urchin....or brush against a jellyfish (in season)
Please go back to your old music
strong nudist vibes
you got x-ray vision or something? LOL
Love living vicariously through you and David! Thanks for sharing!
Watching Michael 🇺🇸👍😀🙏
Loved everything about this vlog 🙌🏻🙌🏻. And you finally got to wear the cruise shirt we got you on a cruise! 😆
Look at dji and the camera's
You should let the Lifeguard know that there is a shark in the bay, a 5ft shark can still create a horrific wound.
Am I early enough for Michael to say hi to me?!?!?
No
I'm not Michael..But Hi.
