Day 7:
Castaway Cay
I think we were allowed off the boat about 9:30am. That morning was the only thing I think Disney needs to work on. I was "assigned" the task of getting up and being ready, so we would get a good place by the water. At 9am I was by the doors ready to disembark and was probably 50th in line. Soon the area was overfilled, and then elevators were full and stopped there also -- actually felt dangerous how stuffed in we were with more people coming all the time. VERY claustrophobic. Finally the doors opened and I walked quickly and got us chairs right by the water slides.
Imagine Disney owning its own island. Yep -- thats Castaway Cay. Just a great dauy. Swimming, relaxing, snorkeling. The snorkeling was better than anywhere else. The sting rays and schools of fish were awesome! I spent about an hour floating on a raft thinking about exactly nothing! Heaven!
DW surprised me by telling me she had booked me a massage for late that afternoon. The person she had seen the day before is an expert in sports massage, and I have a really bad back from injuries, etc. I went back to the boat early and had the best massage of my life -- nothing else even close!
We went to Animator's that night -- what a cool show! Do not miss your last night in Animators -- thats when they do the show no matter what your rotation is for dinner.
Well that's about it. I missed telling you about wine tasting (did not like it) and my wife doing mixology (she loved it).
I had never been on a cruise before and now we are already booked in 10518 leaving January 26, 2013. In the adjoining room will be my mom and stepdad. She turns 75 on January 27th. We cannot wait for a great celebration!
