Just got back from a Caribbean cruise on the Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Dream. The cruise was for four nights and two Ports of Call.  The first day we sailed from Port  Canaveral and partied, dined and slept to wake up the next morning in Nassau, The Bahamas.

Our cabin faced Downtown Nassau and the port. The yellow tower is the Port Tower which does the same job as an air traffic control tower at an airport except for the many cruise ships which come and go daily.

After shopping and exploring Nassau, we left port and sailed over to the Disney Cruise Line’s private island, Castaway Cay. Here families enjoyed a full day of activities, food and beaching. For adults, there is Serenity Bay for those 18 and over to enjoy a more quiet experience.

The last day of the cruise is at sea. The Captain made sure to keep the best weather over the Disney Dream while guests enjoyed the ship’s many amenities and attractions like the famous Palo Brunch.

After eating for two and a half hours at the brunch, members of my party took the time to relax on deck or read a book. As for me, I took a nap!

The next day we returned to Port Canaveral and, after a last breakfast with our dining crew, disembarked. No worries, we will be back since we booked our next voyage while onboard.
