Port Overview
Castaway Cay is an island in the Bahamas that is owned and operated by Disney Cruise Lines. It is located near Great Abaco Island and was formerly called Gorda Cay. Castaway Cay invites cruisers to enjoy balmy tropical weather and world-class recreation on a Bahamian oasis with signature Disney hospitality. After disembarking to Castaway Cay, you can obtain beach towels and use your convenient Key to the World cards for retail transactions on the island. Don't forget your Keys to the World or you can't get on and off the ship! One great thing that Disney went over the top with on their private island (unlike the other cruise lines) was to put in a cruise ship dock to allow walk off / walk on access without the need of tender boats.
Don’t forget to decorate your stateroom door!!
