Ages ago, my trumpet tutor spent a season playing this cruise line. He said it was a pretty great gig if on your own. They paid well and treated the talent with respect. I hope this is still true.
During our last visit to Castaway Cay I got stung by a jelly. The medical center treated it at no cost. The cast members were very helpful and despite lots of guests coming in they were doing a great job.
So glad DFB mentioned making an ice cream cookie sandwich! While I was there over the summer, I made Brownies and Cookies a la mode with the soft serve ice cream. Sooooo goooooood. Was a perfect way to wrap up my meal.
Pro tip if doing snorkelling: sun lotion 50-70+ before you get in, and as soon as you get out. Ideally go with someone. It's a bit of a grind to wade through the salt water on a hot bahamian day. I made this mistake by being out in the sun for too long, and getting severe (i'm talking blister severe) sunburn as a result.
my sister had the same thing!! HUGE blisters all over her back. It’s a little funny though coming back on the ship for dinner and seeing EVERYONE sunburnt 😂😂
There's usually an improptu sort of character dance party around noonish, give or take 15 minutes or so. Its not always on the daily navigator/app but we've regularly seen Goofy and Mickey show up with a boombox and spend about 10 minutes doing a dance party at Cookies One for lunchtime. We always look forward to it, just keep an eye out for them while you're eating - they usualy post up on the beach side of the sheltered picnic table there.
We travel ALOT and have used Fi in Mexico, bahamas, japan and italy eith zero roaming charges. It automatically detects where we are and adjusts how it connects to the towers. Occassionally i have to change a setting depending on the country. But international roaming and data are all included and we dont pay anything extra
20:00 if you purchased a vacation protection plan when you booked your cruise then YOU ARE covered for emergencies ranging from 20k to 30k depending on the type of emergency. If you didn’t purchase this then yes, ready your wallet
I know this sounds lame but could you do a video on the estimated time it takes to get from the different parking lot to the front gate to the park we’re renting a vehicle for the first time and it is some thing I would actually like to calculate in but I have no concept of its time
They told me that we could come & go from the ship as we'd like, but then we were told that wasn't true as the ship was closed for cleaning & we weren't able to return! So what's the truth!?
The two cookies with the soft-serve ice cream, making an ice cream sandwich, how do you eat it? The ice cream will ooze out all over when you try to take a bite of it. It's impossible.
If you have a family especially young ones whom may need a nap, you would love it. They also have concierge type service. Not for everyone but don’t poopoo it.

How did you get stung? By swimming I assume. Just trying to make sure it doesn’t happen to me ( no offense)

Thank you for telling us about the stamp thing, we would have had no idea and I had all intentions of mailing postcards home
The food at Cookie's on the island was great! Lots of delicious food. It doesn't have to be gourmet to be great.

I Love ❤️ Old Disney
Also the new island that they will be building sounds awesome to
Yep, Disney now owns 2 islands now!
Hope these islands don’t turn into islands a certain someone owned down there that flew in well connected people.

I wish I could go on. Disney cruise!
Love your Disney nails!
Happy new month
Thanks for talking about this, I’m going there in June on the Wish
Super amazing video
the bit about what they do with the poo is interesting but clever.
They told me that we could come & go from the ship as we'd like, but then we were told that wasn't true as the ship was closed for cleaning & we weren't able to return! So what's the truth!?
You could come and go as you please.
From Palm Bay Florida ❤
Awesome 😎
I love what you do
I love it
Do they still have Jack Sparrow at the island and the Flying Dutchman?
Jack has been known to show up on your walk from the ship
The Flying Dutchman hasn't been on the island for years.
Whut. I bib not no that
2:11
Imagine how hot those characters get 😅
Hi
Ba-hay-mi-an.
I can't wait for Christmas

You know they have a cloning lab there! 😄
Super fun

Bu
Sounds like you overfilled
You are cool 😎
Is it really surprising or a “secret” that Disney has something set in place for how to handle poop on a private island?
❤
SECRETS of Disney's Private Island?
UH-OH!
Hope high ranking Disney members don’t show up in a certain black book while this new secret island 🏝️ would be and the theme

Cabana? Isn't that a bit overkill? You're only on the Island not even a full day.😁
