Edgewood Travel Adventures

Today we docked at Castaway Cay and we started our day with breakfast at Parrot Cay restaurant before heading on shore.  This is our favorite venue for breakfast because it's table service and you get a choice of eating off the buffet or ordering a la carte.  It was quick and easy but also delicious at the same time. 

 

Getting off the ship was very simple.  And, they gave out towels once you got on shore, so you didn't have to bring them from you staterooms.  Once on shore the first thing you see are characters lined up all around waiting to have their picture taken with you.  Having so many scattered around made the lines short enough that we even stood in all the lines to have our pictures taken with them.  Walking further into the island you run into the shop and all the meeting areas for people who had shore excursions booked with the cruise line. 

 

Castaway Cay was divided into several beaches:  one for families, one for teens, one for adults over the age of 18 and they even had one for the crew.  We, of course,  spent most of our day at Serenity Beach which was the adult only area.  This area had complimentary lounge chairs and hammocks;  we even had our own bar and restaurant at our disposal.  Lunch at Serenity beach was a lot different than Cookies BBQ restaurant where the rest of the island ate.  The menu was more adult taste oriented with Mahi Mahi and other things like Greek salads.  The beach had lots of activities goes on like Limbo on the beach, Crab racing and fun trivia for the family. 

 

After a fun day at the beach we came back on the ship to enjoy a little down time before tonight festivities.  The theme for the evening was Pirates of the Caribbean, where the crew and many of the guest dressed up like pirates for dinner and the big Pirate party that was going to be held on deck at 10pm.  The party was filled with lots of music and dancing fun for the whole family.  Mickey and the gang put on a great show filled with pirates flying out of the sky and a wonderful fireworks display to top off that night.  But the party did not end there.  After the show there was a big desert buffet filled with 50 different deserts and ice cream that no one could resist.  No matter what age or who you are here with this evening is not one that you would want to miss.
