If Castaway Cay is pronounced "Castaway Key", is Parrot Cay the same ("Key") or is it pronounced "Cay"?

Amy,
It is Castaway "key" Cay. Dave has a great story about the island on his website.

Yes, Parrot Cay is pronounced Parrot "Key" as well. :)

Although "Cay" is properly pronounced "Kee", be aware that you'll hear people mispronouncing it the entire time you're on your cruise. And these people will not be convinced that they're wrong. It's like convincing someone whether or not the "t" in "often" is pronounced.
Here's a link to the story about Castaway Cay that iluvorlando mentioned:

Either pronunciantion is correct -- key or cay. I think "key" is more commonly used.

How funny, Dave, I had been at your website and was in the middle of reading that story when I saw this post - what a coincidence. :D
