day 3!
castaway cay (or - the hell with the beach! gimme a bike and a good massage!) - we got off of the ship, had a bunch of picturse taken of us, and headed up the beach to get our snorkeling gear. we then went into the water (which was a beautiful teal) and swan around for a while. the beach on castway cay is nothing special, and there are no correls in the water. i suggest you hang out at the beach only if you love tanning, have a thing for the beach, or if you dont live near one. ppl like me and my family, who live near the beach and dont like spending much time there shouldnt waste there time (at least not on the family beach).
we went over to eat the BBQ (yum!
food is good! lol), and then my brother ran off to the teen beach (we got very used to watching my brother race off on this cruise...lol). we went over to the bike rental and rented 3 bikes. the bike ride was so much fun! we had a great time. too bad the bike trail isnt longer. also, having a nature walk around the island would be great (DCL workers? are you taaking notes? lol 
). theres freezing cold water in coolers along the way, so dont worried about getting dehidraited while enjoying your fun-filled bike ride.
after the bike ride it was time for my massage in the cabanas....
if you want to get a massage while on the cruise, you should definately book one for the cabanas on castaway cay. dont waste your time on a massage inside a room - you can get that anywhere. i got a half body massage. it was amazing!!!! theres this fantastic breeze that comes into the cabana. youre looking out on beatiful serenity bay (the adult beach), as the cabana is open on that side. ive had massages before, but this one made them seem like a waste of money. its 100% relaxation and peacefulness. tina (the one who gave me the massage) was so sweet! i liked her a lot!
my mom and i walked on serenity bay for a few minutes. its beautiful there, and very quiet. much nicer than the family beach.
we boarded the ship. my mom went over to the mandatory debarkation talk. my dad and i headed up to deck 9 to watch the departure and wave at the disney cast members who were waving goodbye to the ship as we pulled away
. then we stuffed our faces with some good, free, hot french fries
disney dreams - everyone told me that if i loved the hercules show, i would really love this one. i liked it, i liked it a lot. but i must confess that i liked hercules the muse-icale better. disney dreams is really sweet, and its the same group of performers, so the talent is there. but i still liked hercules better.
parrot cay - after family dueling pianos it was time to chow down. the tables in parrot cay are closer together than in the other 2 restaurants, so you feel a little squished. but as i said in part one, this is a really cute restaurant, with a live band! make sure to stay untill the end so you dont miss out on the fun surprise!
50's and 60's party (or - gollie gee! what a swell shindig!) - after another dueling pianos (hey! i really like matt and larry!
lol) we went over to wavebands for the 50's and 60's party. it was awsome!!! the cast members were dressed up and on the dance floor; you had the teacher, the cool guy, the nerd, the girl who no one wants....they were hysterical! i forced my mom up on the dance floor (you know i did, mommy! )and we had a blast. the band from the night before, "jimmy (?) and the west side boys" were playing, and they were great! at the end the d.j. took over and told us all what to do (like "hold the hand of the person in front of you from between their legs" lol ). everyone had a great time (or at least everyone on the dance floor had a good time.....there were a lot of ppl just sitting around and watching 
). i even got my parents to do one spot light dance (aaaah! ). by the way - im extremely sensitive to cigerrete smoke and i also dont like being around drunk ppl. for this reason i dont go out to clubs (its too smokey, and everyones drinking....
). i didnt notice too much smoke in wavebands. i get an imidiate head ach when im around smoke, and i didnt get any head ach, so thats a very good sign for other ppl like me. i guess the dancefloor is far away enough from the sitting crowd that you dont notice it. i also didnt encounter any problem with drinking ppl (except for this little incident in dueling pianos, in which i felt worse fior those ppls kids than i did for the rest of us).
after the last dueling pianos of the cruise
it was time to go to sleep. in the morning, we had a nice breakfast in parrot cay and got off the ship. the whole processe of getting off the ship was very well run, and completely painless 
we had our luggage and were back in our car in no time at all.
when we were back in our (rented) car, we already started planning when our next disney cruise will be! i for one cant wait to get back on that ship! im even planning on rtying to get a job as one of the performers onboard when im out of the army (in another 3 years). so hopefully, youll be seeing me on the stage in the walt disney theater on you cruise in 3 years!
mom? can we go again?
