Rare CariBear Posted February 1, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If you are an adult only group I highly suggest you make your way to Serenity Bay.......the adult only beach. Pure heaven. All aboard is usually around 4:45 or so, but by 3pm the adult beach clears out and you can have the place almost to yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMBA Posted February 2, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The ship docks right at the island. There is a free bbq buffet. There are all sorts of activities that can be signed up for. Go to the Disney cruise line web site and look under shore excursions and Castaway Cay. Bike rentals, snorkel equipment rentals, floating water slide. stingray adventure. Good time to be had by all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macy2 Posted February 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Snorkeling gear I believe is $15. It's now $25 to rent an adult snorkeling set and $10 for a kid's. If you take your own set use of their vests is free and required. Bikes are $6 per hour I believe. Edited February 2, 2013 by Macy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted February 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Castaway Cay has fountain drinks ans an ice cream machine just like on the ship. Of course, there are adult beverages for sale. As i recall the buffet opens at 11:00 but the drink machines are up and running right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good time to be had by all there are 3 free barbecues!! one at each of the two family beaches and one at serenity bay.. you can eat at all 3 if you feel like it! though the family ones have identical food... the adult one might have an item or two the family doesn't, i don't know.. when we were there, in addition to regular barbecue stuff, the adult one had fish and steak...(i think the steak was made to order)..

Can you take food from the adult beach over to the family beach at lunch? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaska_planner Posted February 2, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Can you take food from the adult beach over to the family beach at lunch?Thanks! you can take the food anywhere you want, but the adult beach is very far away from the family beach.. there's a tram (or whatever they call it), that takes you from one to the other... but i didn't see anything at any of the barbecues that was so special that i would take them from one to the other... it's just regular old barbecue food....nothing to write home about.. although the fruit was very yummy...

cruzisme Posted February 4, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looking forward to this as DH hopes to snorkel while I lounge around. And to sample the BBQ items. Do we take the towels from the ship or are they on the cay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrae Posted February 4, 2013 #17 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Skip the advertised snorkeling trail and go to Serenity Bay if you don't have kiddos along. So pretty there, and lots to see in the water. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is across from the ice cream machine and in front of Cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just watched a you tube video of it and the girls think it looks like fun! Just know that the water is deep. They require life vests for anyone under a certain age or height I can't remember which! We were lined up to go, but there were tons of jellyfish around that day and we decided to forgo getting stung.

Venom Posted February 6, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Usually a take the beach excursions, because I Iike to just relax and enjoy the sun. I noticed that there is no shore excursion to a beach in Castaway. I am assuming that going to the beach is free, and you just need to leave the ship and go to a beach without contracting an excursion. Is that correct?

I am assuming that going to the beach is free, and you just need to leave the ship and go to a beach without contracting an excursion. Is that correct? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The ship docks directly at Castaway Cay, which is basically a large beach with lots of recreation options. There are free towels as you get off the ship. A free tram takes you to the beaches. There are family beaches and a fabulous adults-only beach called Serenity Bay. Food and soft drinks are free. There are plenty of places to buy alcohol and some souvenirs or beach toys. You can rent bikes, floats, snorkeling gear. You can rent paddle boats, kayaks, Hobie cats, etc. You can pay for a stingray encounter. The free kids clubs extend to the island. You can buy excursions like parasailing, boat tours, fishing expeditions. You don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to and still have a glorious day.

mcd2745 Posted September 17, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So does the waterslide cost money? nope just be careful in that area. it seems to be a spot that sometimes has issues with jellyfish/sea lice. also, you have to swim out a bit in pretty deep water to get to the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty421 Posted September 18, 2014 #25 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Do they offer the kids camp on the island or do they stay on the ship. We will be traveling with our two kids but would like to take some time to go to the adult's only beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
