Do we need to prebook Castaway Cay excusions?

[WendyandGoofy]

In order to snorkel in Lagoon, do the Banana Boat, or rent bikes - do I need to book any of those before the cruise? Thanks!

Went on the 1/26 sailing, and I can only speak about the bike rentals (because that's what we did). They were PLENTY of bicycles available, so I wouldn't be too concerned about that one. In fact, our ticket had a rental time of 9:30am, but we didn't go there until 10:30 to 11am and it was not at all a problem.
Also saw plenty of floats available too. I would think that if you fill out your excursion form and drop it into the shore excursion box when they put it out (day you disembark from Florida), you should be able to get everything you want.

you don't have to pre book but you can. I like to know I can get what I want and don't have to hassle. One less thing to worry about. We booked the banana boat and an all day package that includes snorkel equipment, floats and 2 hour bike rental.

Thanks! I think the bike ride sounds fun - we can work off some of that food! I looked up the name of that combination package - it is called Castaway Cay Getaway Package. I think I'll call and book it!

One of my sons will be one month from turning 8. Does anyone know if they would let him banana boat? The age restriction says 8.

I appreciate your info. I also have thoroughly enjoyed the trip reports - this board is a wealth of information!
