What Port Adventures are Available in Nassau on a Disney Cruise?

Leave a reply

Nassau, Bahamas is a port Disney Cruise Line has stopped at every year since their inaugural sailing in 1998. It is easy to see why this tropical destination is a guest favorite after just one visit here! With the Disney Dream, Disney Wonder and Disney Magic all stopping Nassau in the early part of 2014, more and more guests are asking about the best things to do during a day in this port. Disney Cruise Line offers dozens of great Port Adventures and narrowing them down to the best is difficult, so here’s a look at some the best Nassau activities, according to the Disney Parks Blog.

dolphin swim

Dolphin Swim at Atlantis Resort
It’s likely you’ve heard about Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, home to world’s largest open-air marine habitat and tons of other unique family-friendly activities. Disney Cruise Line offers numerous tours that allow you to spend the day here, but some of the most popular are ones that include playtime with dolphins. You can choose between a shallow water interaction and a deep water swim, combined with another adventure like an afternoon at the Aquaventure water park or a stroll through the underwater tunnel to see sharks and barracudas.

blue lagoon island

Journey to Blue Lagoon Island
Dolphin and sea lion encounters are also offered at the picturesque Blue Lagoon Island, a secluded destination only accessible by boat, boasting pristine beaches and an all-natural ocean habitat. Another popular choice is to have a relaxing beach day here, soaking up the sun in a lounge chair, swimming in the clear waters, exploring the lagoon by kayak or water bike, or just laying back in a hammock under the shade of palm trees. Often a favorite part of the day for guests is the catamaran ride through turquoise waters to get to the island.

silver jubilee

Exploration of Local Culture and History
For culture and history lovers, there are several Port Adventures that it make it more convenient for you to experience island life, with visits to quirky shops and the straw market, and to see remnants of the island’s British colonial past, like historic government buildings and old forts. One excursion combines a visit to the beautiful Ardastra Gardens with a city tour, and another Port Adventure includes two fort visits and an inside look at the National Cultural Festival of the Bahamas. Or those who want to plan their own itinerary around the island can book a private vehicle with a driver/guide for a day completely customized to your family’s tastes.

graycliff hotel

Royal Treatment at the Graycliff Hotel
Originally built as a mansion in 1740 by a famous pirate of the Caribbean, the Graycliff Hotel is now one of the must-visit historical landmarks in the Bahamas. Disney cruisers have special opportunities to experience it uniquely and be treated like royalty at this five-star oasis. Families can relax poolside in an enchanted garden setting, adults can browse one of the largest private collections of fine and rare wines in the world and chocolate lovers can learn the art of chocolate making. No matter which Graycliff Port Adventure you choose, you’re sure to leave with a full stomach from either a gourmet, multi-course meal or your delicious hand-crafted chocolates.

Thanks to the Disney Parks Blog for sharing all of these exciting port adventures that are available on a Disney Cruise Line vacation in Nassau.

You can also just spend the day enjoying your beautiful ship as well instead of a port adventure!

Top Ten Things to Do at Castaway Cay

Leave a reply

castaway cay 4

Castaway Cay is Disney’s very own private island paradise in the Caribbean. When you enjoy a Disney Cruise Line vacation, chances are, you will have the opportunity to spend a day at Castaway Cay. Here is a list of the top then things to do at Castaway Cay to help you start planning how you’d like to spend your day in paradise.

1. Start your day off relaxed with yoga on the beach.

Be one of the first off the ship and to the peaceful Serenity Bay for morning yoga, one of the many fitness classes included with your cruise. You can practice relaxing yoga techniques on the warm sand of this pristine beach, while you’re just steps away from calm, turquoise waters.

2. Get wet with swimming, snorkeling and floating.
Castaway Family Beach is home to special swimming and snorkeling lagoons for those who want to cool off. You can drift on floats or in inner tubes, swim with tropical fish and search for sunken treasures, including a hidden Mickey!

3. Get up-close and personal with stingrays.
Castaway Ray’s Stingray Adventure gives you the chance to feed, touch and snorkel with stingrays in a private lagoon. This up-close encounter also includes a fun info session led by a marine specialist with interesting facts about stingrays.

4. Enjoy the crystal clear water from above.
Parasailing, water cycling, paddle boating, paddle boarding, kayaking and sailboating are all ways you can enjoy the ocean without even getting in it!

5. Make a huge splash at Pelican Plunge.
Just a short swim from shore, venture to the floating Pelican Plunge for tons of get-wet fun. A giant “bucket dump” is sure to soak you, and two water slides – one open and the other enclosed – take you on a twisting ride into the lagoon.

6. Take a photograph with your favorite Disney friends.
Enjoy lots of photo ops with Disney characters in their island attire. Character meet-and-greets in front of iconic backdrops like the ship and Mt. Rustmore make for great family pictures!

7. Explore the 1,000-acre island on foot or bicycle.
There are a number of paths to the island’s interior that can be explored either on foot or bicycle. The morning runDisney Castaway Cay 5K is a great way to get to know the island and take in the lush tropical landscape, without costing you a thing!

8. Send “snail mail” from the Bahamian post office.
Castaway Cay has its own post office where you can send a message to family and friends back home. Bahamian stamps are required, making it even more fun to mail a souvenir postcard to yourself to commemorate your time on the island!

9. Climb the 40-foot-tall observation tower.

For a breathtaking view of Castaway Cay and the ship in the distance, you can journey down the bike trail toward the interior of the island and climb 47 steps to the top of the observation tower. Don’t forget your camera!

10. Join in on a unique family activity like only Disney can do.

One-of-a-kind island activities are great ways for your family to have fun together. Cheer on a new “friend” in the crab races or excavate artificial whale bones and other fossilized treasures in the Family Whale Dig.

Enjoy Royal Court Royal Tea on Disney Cruise Line

Leave a reply

royal tea 1

Disney Cruise Line is now offering a new experience to help your family feel like royalty in a whole new way when sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy! One of the newest family-friendly experiences is Royal Court Royal Tea on Disney Cruise Line, an exclusive event that gives you and your little ones a chance to interact with Disney princesses like never before.

This royal tea party takes place in the Royal Court Restaurant, which was inspired by the classic Disney Princess films “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Decorated with sparkling chandeliers and fanciful icons like glass slippers, apples, roses and tiaras, the elegant dining room is the perfect setting for this fairy tale experience.

Other Disney friends join the party, too, including Lady Chamomile and Chef Brule who host the event as the Royal Tea Hostess and Royal Pastry Chef. They are both welcoming and entertaining hosts — telling stories, dancing and singing renditions of classic Disney tunes — making this a fun and interactive experience by encouraging all of the kids to participate.

Check out the following video with Cruise Director Lesley as she gives us a special glimpse at this magical teatime, exclusive for the Disney Fantasy:
